WRITING: Been doing a lot of it, A LOT.

I finished the first draft of I THINK WE SHOULD SEE YOUNGER PEOPLE a week or so ago. I think it’s by far the best thing I’ve written, but I still need to take the requisite time away to reflect. I need to put it in the drawer for a month and then check back in with it.

I’m also currently at work on two more commercial scripts, one very stylish caper/heist film, the other a contained caper/crime/thriller. I hope to have them finished by the new year.

Things don’t always happen this way, but I came up with the idea for my latest film on Dec 11th. As of right now, Dec 17 at 10am, I’m on page 43 of the script. 

EDITING: Not much.

I took a shot at getting back into the VAMLET edit, but I didn’t quite have the resolve. It’s just such a HUGE chunk of footage. I love it, of course, but it’s a killer. SOON I shall return, perhaps as soon as I’ve finished my first draft of this new script.

I thought THE AMERICAN was brilliant.

I’m hoping to do some “director-for-hire” stuff asap.

I hate the waxy, creepy, puffy-lipped look of actors who have had plastic surgery.

I drink more than three cups of tea a day while writing.

I watch (and more likely re-watch) at least three movies a day.
