So You Wanna Know How I'm Getting to Hollywood?

As the tagline suggests, I feel the need to share whats going on in my life in regards to the film industry.

1) Next weekend im working on a web series with some friends who graduated from Chapman. I'm hoping they'll also be my lnk to a job one day. Its pretty funny, from what I've heard and has generated some intrest and financial support - so heres to hoping that it picks up, and in turn I do to.

2) I'm production designing a short film, executive produced by Wes Craven. It's the most intimidating thing of my life. I have a lot to figure out, no dates of the shoot, and very little money. All of which makes this a daunting challenge. I think I'll be able to pull it off, and if I do well - theres probably jobs in my future. It's about a mutant janitor that eats high school students. Charming, right? It's going to premiere at Sundance and on Xbox live, as well as show at next years Comicon. Be on the lookout for "The Janitor."

3) The film school "fell into" 3 million dollars and has decided to produce a short film in the month of August. I sent them my resume to get attached to the project, but theres no definitive on that yet.

I'd like to fall into 3 million dollars.

Day Two, Blog Two

Going on day two of "owning" a blog, and I found myself wondering what the hell I was going to write about. I realize I don't have to write everyday, nor should you expect me to- but for some reason, I couldn't help but think about writing in it. It's going to be an ever growing addiction. One of many in my life.

Its funny, how you can live so long without something, and then once your introduced to it- you can't imagine your life without it. It goes for people too. Its hard to imagine my life without some of the people I met in college. Its hard to think that just two years ago- I didn't know them. Thank God theyre around.

So I don't even know if I'm doing this right. I'm kinda just writing, for the sake of writing. Hopefully I may tap into my unconscious if I keep going and be suddenly inspired with a brilliant idea. Until then-

Damn it Lauren

Well here I am. Blogging. I blame Lauren - the best friend, and partner (non sexual, thanks.) a struggling screenwriter could ask for.

About the name. Something has always drawn me to Hollywood. Like old Hollywood - and here I am, using new fangled methods (blogs?!) to try and break into the Hollywood of the past, if it even exists anymore, I don't know.

I can't help but smile when I see the Hollywood sign - through smog and all- thats something, right?
