Ladies' Choice

I got the straight dope on the others pitching the Fall Biola film. 

All women

All pitching "Ella" by Kyle Jones

I am the only one pitching Mr. Script Supe's script

Am I at an advantage or disadvantage? I can't decide....

Lord help me--I'm scared

Keep those skills sharp!

Hippie Gypsy, yet another halter, sweetheart top

American Apparel Le Sac dress knock off. suckas

that is what I'm doin

What I've been doin all summer.

3 dresses in one summer is not bad.

all are excruciatingly simple, but when it's summer, you have no need to make complicated things. Summer is for halters. Summer is for light bright fabrics. Summer is for experimentation.

Casted

We've got our cast

of everyone we had already casted

minus the Berkley character because none of us were thrilled on the original choice.

PTL I do not have to get all new measurements

I could even start now if I so desired!

But no can do--got SOS week, then first week of classes followed by the pitch date for the Biola film. UGGGG too much to do already!!

Days until production: 34

Days until The Pitch: 25

call me crazy

And I think I did something incredibly crazy, so you have every right to do so.

But I applied to direct the Fall BIOLA Film this morning. I sent Lisa the app in an email, feeling my stomach drop as I hit SEND.

Oh what have I done.

The script I chose to pitch is "Still", written by Self Storage's own Mr. Soup.

I feel qualified. I feel strong. I feel that this is not too long of a shot. I have directed before--certainly nothing on this scale, but I have done things that have been difficult. I have an eye for detail. I love working with actors. I have a good recipe for success.

Sept 4th is the day of reckoning though. I will pitch to the whole pre-pro class and Lisa with all the writers and other potential directors and producers present. I feel nauseous just thinking about it.

Wish me luck. For now, lots of researching and planning and thinking and building of reel/portfolios.

Ready, Set....

So the dates have been set

Boss Man has ruled Sept 18th-20th, 25th-27th
as our official shooting dates for Self Storage

I am relieved because I was starting to freak
about timing and such
I know, I know, I'm silly

but I've got a full load this semester plus a new house to move into,
new roommates, a new cat to pet
new rooms to paint and furnish
new rules to make and follow
new friends to make, some old ones to drop
Freshmen to welcome,
SOS in 10 days

---Not gonna pretend I'm not stressing

Now, all we need is a cast and I can power up the Singer

Days till shooting: 39!!!!! OMG!
Costumes completed: yeah... about that...
Units next semester: 18
New roommates: 4
Freshmen to orientate: 16

Rag and Bone

by the White Stripes should be the theme song for our production

Nuff said

Yesterday
My new roomster Lexi and I were walking around Redondo Beach and came across a large pile of junk on someone's curb.

We ransacked it like the true anarchist freeloaders we are (or tend to be)
And took home no less than

• 30-some odd amazing art books ranging from graphic design to interior decorating
• 2 book cases
• 1 set of drawers
• 1 pair platform hooker shoes, size 8
• 2 baskets
• a couple dozen empty picture frames, some still with glass

My car is stuffed to the brim

We move into our new home next week and the week after

As far as Self Storage goes.... guys--what are we doing?

Days until production: huh?
Costumes completed: what?


Do I still have a job?.....
