So much has been going on these past three months. Right now, I’m settled into my new place, I’m working (for a major corporation) although I hope not for long (working for someone else is just not for me). I’m getting ready to go to Scotland in 2 1/2 weeks and I’m shooting a fictional short for ThrillFest 2010 over at dvxuser.com; for real this time. *Smile*

I decided to enter a script I wrote a while back. The Writer sure has seen some revisions! It was originally written for BetrayalFest but I was unable to cast for it. Then I tried once more for MonsterFest and again I was unable to cast for it. But now that I’m living in Florida, I had no problem casting for it and I think it will happen this time. When It does, I’ll be sure to share it!

The film has a great cast:
Stephanie Ryan: The Writer
Trish Chaney: Andi
Kimberly McVicar: Nina
Natasha Dwyer: Nyla
Howard Washington: Jay
Ja-Rell McArthur: Extra

Check out the official film thread at: The Writer – ThrillFest 2010

This 6 minute film will be my first real attempt at making a fictional film and I will be shooting it with my Panasonic DVX100B and a Canon 514XL-S Super 8mm film camera.
