2010-07-04T08:12:00.001-07:00

Dear World, It’s been awhile since my last post, but I wanted to post my review of The Last Airbender somewhere. Since I couldn’t do it on www.scaddistrict.com Noah Ringer (L) Dev Patel (R) Photo by Photo Credit: Industrial Light a – © Copyright2010 PARAMOUNT PICTURES.

Robin Hood or so it seems

2010-05-23T17:59:00.001-07:00

Dearest World, This film tells the tale of a long exposition into what we know of Robin Hood traditionally. Starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett as leading man and lady. Crowe, portraying Robin Longstride delves into the character, by playing a heroic, and goodhearted man, yet unchanged from his past movies. While Cate Blanchett playing Marion Loxely, a woman who's in charge of the head of

Dear World, Hello darlings. I hope you are well. It's almost over. The quarter and everything with it. Success won't be far from now. It's pouring outside. Don't you hate it when you have electronical devices that can't get wet and they do. Silly rain, don't you know that I don't always like carrying around a bulky umbrella. Writing has been an ongoing event lately, just not in the way I thought

New Film script in the works

2010-03-24T07:12:00.001-07:00

Dear World, I’m writing to tell you exciting news! I’ve finished my feature length script for good. No more revising, unless somebody is paying me to do it. It’s called Leaving Home. Anyways, on April 1st I’m starting a new script for this competition called scriptfrenzy. It’s a competition to write 100 pages in a month. That’s it. This film I’m working on is the basis for my senior film. Oddly

Why do I write?

2010-03-12T17:47:00.001-08:00

Dear World, In this day and age, one must look for other resources for ideas, options and paths. And only with determination plans will succeed. To sell your idea for money, is that creative? Yes, is it giving your idea to someone else to be mutilated. Yes. But you know what sometimes you get lucky and your idea is so pure, that it doesn’t get changed. So, I tell you that I hope you have

Day 23

2010-02-23T19:03:00.001-08:00

Dear World, Some interesting revelations came in tonight. I’m for Team Radio and I’m not going to give that up. Secondly, I’m happy to write romantic films, make whimsical nonsensical art because darnit it makes me happy. So enjoy my nonsensical art! I never feel age...If you have creative work, you don't have age or time. Louise Nevelson, 1980 US (Russian-born) sculptor (1900 - 1988)

Day into night

2010-02-21T20:20:00.001-08:00

Dear world, This month is slowly winding down. It’s getting to be the last week in Feb. Everyday I keep thinking about my senior film. Which means, more drawings are being inspired by it. Rough sketches, now. But of course more talented people than I to help me create my vision. One day soon! Love, The musing writer

Day something or other in Feb.

2010-02-17T20:03:00.001-08:00

Dear World, Today, I’m calm for the moment. And honestly this is the best I’ve felt on a week night all month. It’s my Fat Tuesday although, it’s wednesday. I don’t really know what I should give up, and I haven’t done this in a few years. I suppose I must thing about it. If it comes to me, I suppose I shall do it. But until then. Unless I give up chocolate? hmm… I do eat that a lot. Tomorrow I

Dear World, I got to write today. It made me have a joyous feeling in my toes. And a thud in my heart. Anyways. This sketch is from a scene I was thinking of in my head while writing. I’m excited about this film I’m writing. And rewriting really. My quote today describes my feelings towards the film. It’s the truth that the real spirit of my characters take flight.

I was one of Them: the Strange Ones. The Funny People. The Odd Tribes of autograph collectors and photographers.

Quote of the day: It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day-to-day basis. - Margaret Bonnano Dear world, I find myself in a constant state of running in circles. Complete one task to get another done. Finish that to start the race again. Is this life? All going to be like this? Except when there are pause moments? I need my glasses. Ask the post man to bring them sooner. I miss

We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. Arthur O'Shaughnessy, "Ode" (quoted in the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) Dear world, Last night could’ve been epic movie watching. But instead it was of beautiful music and choir boys. I actually watched a lovely, french movie. The last few I’ve watched have been too long or odd. This one was adorable, well lit. I

2010-02-03T20:27:00.001-08:00

Dear world, Today was a crap day. It was a day of tests, long lectures and logging. Look at all those long lists of L’s. Just kidding I’ll stop with Ling. L Cut!!sorry.. that was an editing reference.. “A kiss is a lovely trick, designed by nature, to stop words when speech becomes unnecessary. “ -Ingrid Bergman I think art is alot like that.

Quote of the day: Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down. - Hector Berlioz Dear World, I hope you are well today. It’s some of my favorite weather. Rain. The peaceful sounds on my window comfort me. Does rain do that to you? I’m trying something new, where I’m just going to post the quote of the day on the top.

Coffee Pots, blenders and waffles

2010-01-21T18:02:00.000-08:00

Dear world, Have you ever had a day where you say. "I give up. Let's do this" I didn't exactly have a day like that, but I did. I made strawberry smoothies and had waffles at 4 in the afternoon. For no other reason then. I want to eat them. And they were delicious. In other news, I finished my feature length screenplay and it was like airing out an old sneaker.

2009-11-20T16:17:00.000-08:00

Dear world,Do you ever get so busy that you forget what day it is? Is that what college is like? I love pause moments to reflect on life and how it's running. A sad fact that I can't manage much writing when I have three intense classes going on at the same time. Now that those classes have disappeared, time for some good old writing. I feel like I have a pile of ideas and now is the time to

Starting over again

2009-09-02T17:27:00.000-07:00

Dear World, I don't believe I've hit a rut in my writing process. But, I've realized that I'm completely starting over a screenplay that I've rewritten a million times. The writing process is such a weird thing. It's as if to go forwards you have to take five steps backwards. It feels right though, for the script. I often am wondering if this is how writers really do it. They think they have this
