The Most Amazing Diet - Direct a Film

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I can’t remember the last time I’ve had less of an appetite. It’s the stress that’s been getting to me. There was a slight crumbling of the world today.
It wasn’t the actor situation. That worked out, and in fact, they’re awesome. It was the locations; those things I said couldn’t leave Tallahassee. They might not [...]

I Shoot in Three Days. Don’t Panic.

Monday, July 28th, 2008

I shoot my thesis in three days. I’ve been going with my “everything works out” attitude, and I know it will, but I won’t lie. I’m starting to panic.

Scouting for a Corner Office

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

On Monday, my Producer and I finally got around to doing some pre-production work for my F3. The two main locations I need is an open cubicle area and a really nice corner office, one that is soul-worthy.
Most of the downtown area is either government buildings or law offices, with a minimal one [...]
