This looks great. How are things?

Good. We've just finished Hell Month (7 films in 4 weeks) and now we're jumping back into writing. I need to write at least 1 short story adaptation, 1 TV series pilot and bible, and I want to finish my feature film and also polish up the scripts for an 8-episode web series I wrote with two other writers.

Plus there's pitching, resume writing (snort) and career planning. And a research project on a screenwriter I admire (still trying to name one other than those from Supernatural).

Last day of class is August 3, or so. Doesn't seem possible.

sorry comment jacking but youre in film??

I'm in a practical film arts program, meaning that I wrote two short scripts that got filmed by my fellow students. (I'm in the writing stream, but there's also acting and directing streams.)

Once I graduate, I may end up in the film business, but only if it gives me time enough to write my own stuff. Otherwise, I'll probably end up back in an office somewhere, selling scripts through an agent. =]
