screenwriting

I haven't talked much about my screenplay lately, which is odd, because it has been consuming my life. Now that I'm done making films (and I got an 'A' on my last one, Jackson!) I've been devoting all my time to my screenplay, "The Peanut Butter and Jelly Pirates." If I haven't already mentioned it, it's about pirate kids. It's been fun to write, but also trying.

I'm currently on page 60, which is something of a feat. In a week, when it's due, I'll be done and it'll be 90 to 100 pages. I'm pumped for that. It's been nice, because my professor says the writing is really professional, and last week when I pitched the film to this guy who won sundance a long time ago, he said my pitch was great. So even though I feel like I'm just goofing around writing it, it's nice to have affirmation that maybe I'm not wasting my time.

When we did the pitches we made posters. Here's my poster. It details the cast, etc, which was fun to choose... and photoshop!
