A post

Hi one and all. I am currently in L.A., but I'm really bored and tired...so I've decided to take this moment to leave a new post (something I haven't done in a while). I've been here for a screenwriting convention. Day in and day out I sit and listen to other writers talk about the business and politics and writing in general. And to be honest, it's all fascinating, important, etc... BUT, the biggest thing I've taken away from all of this is: Just write a good script. So many people are concerned about the studios and what is marketable. That's all silly.

Anyway, that's the most intelligent paragraph I can write at the moment... I'm just going to give you a bunch of tid-bits.

-I hung out with Alex last night. We TRIED to see the Klaxons, but they sold out. It's very hard to get into shows in L.A.
-We had Sangria. It was fruity. I wasn't.
-The next MOC short will be our last short before our feature.
-Previous MOC shorts have been somewhat plot driven...meaning the plot is what directed the story and informed the characters. This time, it will be character driven. The plot will spring forth from the character.
-Beforehand, possible situations considered were a plane crash, a hotel bloodbath (yeah) and a honeytrap. Those were discarded however.
-If you want to know what it will be like, read Franny and Zooey or The Catcher in the Rye. Or both. Sure.
-The first draft of my caper film has been written. It is entitled "Severn Up".
-I am rewriting it as we speak.
-I will post the first act soon.
-It is based on a news story that was happening several months ago.

Time to pack,

-Brock
