Working on Feature…

January 21, 2014

I’m writing one of my features tonight. It’s the courtroom drama currently called “Reed” after one of the lead characters. This one is outlined page by page. I broke it down thoroughly, and it’s going to be about 120 pages. I’m planning on making a pitch reel once I get this one scripted and revised. […]

Serial Killer…

January 17, 2014

When inspiration strikes, I listen. I’m writing a serial killer crime drama at the moment. It’s about twenty pages, and I’m expecting it will grow as I revise it. I’ve always loved studying serial killers and would read books on them ever since I was in high school. I took a few criminology courses in […]

Sleepless in Valencia…

January 16, 2014

Last night was one of those nights where my mind kept racing with ideas and sleep never came. I don’t think this is unusual for serious writers. There are stories that you tell yourself, roads you invent and castles you build all in your mind, and the constant construction fills your brain to such a […]

Scripts in Progress and Full of Ideas…

January 15, 2014

As I progress on my two feature scripts, I continue to be flooded with new story ideas. I’m nearly to 200 on my ideas list, some of which are really intricate and could lead to trilogies themselves. If I were to write the rest of my life, I couldn’t execute all these ideas, but I’m […]

Time Warp…

January 14, 2014

When you’re as busy as I am, it feels as if you are speeding through life. I wake up to dress my boys for school, fix their breakfast, pack their lunch, drop them off. I arrive home to make coffee, eat breakfast as I check the news, and then I start writing. By the time […]

Brad developed a Sci-Fi series and wrote the first pilot which I am currently reading now. As I am proofing it, I am adding my own story points.

A Multitude of Actors in L.A. …

January 11, 2014

One thing I’ve realized while looking through the hundreds of actors who applied for Guilty, is that there are several people in L.A. that looks alike. All my choices for the leading lady are around the same height, complexion and body type. They’re all beautiful and look as if they could be sisters. The ones […]

Books…

January 9, 2014

I’ve always loved to read, and before the my twins were born, I would devour books like they were candy. Now that they are in Kindergarden, and I have more time to read, write and produce material, I am buying more books. Some are educational, some are pure entertainment, and others are historical. Today I […]

Behind the Viewfinder…

January 8, 2014

When it comes to my DSLR Cannon 7D, I can get a really beautiful image, but I grew up with an eye piece on all my cameras and that makes the camera feel like an extension of you. I love that feeling as a filmmaker because I can capture the subject effortlessly. Sony has always […]

I have a couple of projects I’m writing at the moment, a few I’m looking to cast and three in post. Playground is in the special effects stage so Brad has the reins. He works on Cosmos most of the day and fits Playground in when he can. Yesterday he worked for several hours. The […]
