Soooo...
Lately...I've been in this sort transitionary state of being. Gears are turning.
For one thing, the zombie film I've been acting in, "A Few Brains More: Summer of Blood" is wrapping up. I'm really anxious to see it. Everyone involved has worked so hard on it and if a fraction of that comes through to the audience then it's going to be a fantastic, albeit campy, film. Very entertaining, that's for sure. I'm also anxious about going to a convention as a guest and showing it to an audience and seeing their reactions.
I sure do love making movies.
I have to make this pay-off in the next year. What little paying theatre work I'm getting is great, but if I can't profit from my true ambition, which is film, I need to rethink a few things.
I'll be turning 25 soon and that's my cut-off point. The point where I want to have it figured out. Now, I know I don't have to have it figured out by then, but I'd like to. It's been a goal of mine. It's good to have goals. But I've made a decision... if I can't make this film thing work before I turn 26 then I'm going to culinary school to be a chef. I like cooking. And I could make a decent living doing that.
I want to make movies. I feel like I should be making movies. And I feel that things are in the works. Things I can't zero in on, but that I feel and I have this ambiguous confidence that things are coming together.
In other news...I'll be getting things started for my "prop shop" soon. Still have to get my jigsaw and airbrush, but that will be happening very soon. I'm hoping to have at least 4-5 film quality prop/replicas built by the time Conooga gets here in February. If I can get the ball rolling on that I should be able to stir up some bank to invest in some of these movie ideas I've got.
Things are definitely happening. Just have to be patient.
