High Concept…

April 17, 2014

When revising my features, I have one rule in mind and that’s to clarify everything. When my high concept twist occurs, the surprise needs to be easy to follow with the foreshadowing and clues adding up at the end to create a powerful moment for the viewer. This is an extremely difficult feat as a […]

Revising Features…

April 15, 2014

As I have so many features I have written over the past year and a half, I’ve been going through and revising them, so I can enter them in festivals and also see which ones can be shot for an affordable budget. Some have product placement naturally written in. Finding a sponsor will be my […]

Back in Town…

April 15, 2014

We flew in from Texas last night, and I wrote on the flight home. I’m working on a few of my other scripts as my romantic comedy is in the hands of a few others for feedback. I’m enjoying the writing but miss being out on a shoot. I hope to get into production soon […]

Working Vacation…

April 9, 2014

Last night I finished my romantic comedy script. Today I plan to revise it and send it off for feedback. I also sorted through my growing stack of completed features, and revisited Sandy Beach. It’s still one of my favorites, and I would love to make it. It’s a thrill ride from beginning to end […]

Tying Up Loose Ends…

April 8, 2014

I’m on page 92 of my romantic comedy script, and I’m at the point where I am tying up all the loose ends. It’s a roller coaster ride, and so many things happen that need to come to a satisfying conclusion. I have a feeling it will tap out at 115 pages. I’m in Texas […]

Spring Break is next week, and I head to Texas with my twins. I will be finished with my romantic comedy script as that is my deadline, and I am almost there at page 73. It will be exciting to be done with it. The story is funny and inspired by my younger sister’s true […]

Work & Audition…

April 3, 2014

My head is spinning from writing so much, but I’m pushing through and expect to be finished with this script in a matter of days. As I send it out for feedback, I will either write something new or work on all my existing features.  I’m juggling a lot of material at the moment and […]

Writing from Home…

April 1, 2014

When I’m working on my scripts, things go remarkably well as long as I am not distracted. As a busy mother of twins, if the kids are home, it’s difficult to squeeze in time for writing. When they’re at school, it’s my time to work. My focus this week is completing the romantic comedy screenplay […]

Screenwriting…

March 31, 2014

As we compiled the data from out taxes over this past year, we discovered that the WGA made quite a killing from our production company alone. I registered 30 scripts this past year. They were features, shorts, pilots, and treatments of shows I’ve developed. It’s a long list of content archived for future use. As […]

Posters…

March 29, 2014

I designed the posters for Playground and Harley last night. This is my favorite shot from Playground. The low-angle gives Juliette a strong presence, and I like the ways her hands radiate outward. Since her superpower comes out as energy blasts from her palms, I wanted the poster to hint at that power.   For […]
