Happy Holidays Everyone!

Hey guys,

Well, It's been a while since I posted on the blog. 

I'm sorry for that.  As I've mentioned in previous posts, the last 3 months of the year sees very little activity on the movie.

Still, it got me thinking about what exactly will happen coming January.  I really want to hit the ground running.

So, for the rest of the month I will be working on the dreaded script rewrite!

You see, I've been thinking of this movie for the last gazillion years now , a slight exaggeration, and the last time I read the script it really didn't fit the characters I now have in my head.  Nothing to do, I'm afraid, but rewrite the script.

Another thing I'm hoping to do is make the script shorter.  I can't remember how long it took me to write and produce my Overworld short (how soon we forget, besides, that's what I have a blog for) but that was only a 7 or 8 page script and it took me a while.  My first draft of Xam and Power Dog was a little under 90 pages, which is a feature film.  I'm beginning to fear I may never actually start making this movie.

I'm going to try to cut my movie to 30 minutes, 45 minutes max. That's not going to be easy for me since I have a tendency to ramble in my scripts.  The original Overworld script had to be cut down from 20 pages.  Once I have the script, I will decide the best way to begin filming something as soon as possible.  It's well beyond time to start seeing some footage. 

And that is my plan.  To start filming as soon as possible.

Hopefully, I will have something for you starting next month.

Talk to you then, if not before.

Later!
