PS

I just wrote a post, but I had to create another just to say that "Away We Go" is now one of my favorite movies. I saw it this past week, and love it- from the script to the soundtrack. And the acting! So good. Catherine O'Hara, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Maya Rudolph (a far cry from her SNL characters-impressed me) and John Krasinski (totally redeemed himself since I thought he was only good at being Jim Halpert after seeing that dumb movie he was in with Mandy Moore. )

If you like Garden State, Juno, and/or Eternal Sunshine- I think you'll like this too.

Short film, or Short Movie?

So about that short film I've got in the works... It's my first real attempt at a short. I've done two shorts as a class assignment, but nothing that I would want to submit to a film festival. That's the goal for this one. I want it to be film festival worthy.

I wrote about it a few posts back, but I figure I can update on its progress.

I was hoping for it to be in post production by this week...it's not. But that's the norm for these things...dates get pushed back.

So this past weekend was the first shoot...but one of the actors didn't show. Yeah, not exactly what I was hoping for. But we did get some shots, and now next time we'll be better prepared. So it wasn't a total loss.

The show will go on. I mean it has too. (I need this for my senior portfolio!) I got in contact with the actor...he's still on board. Looks like shooting will resume next Saturday. The hardest part is working with everyone's schedules. And there's only four of us! School just gets in the way of filming...

Can't wait to graduate...two more months!

(When we film next I'll get some pictures to post! The location is definitely photo worthy!)

And I guess it's not really a short film...it's not being shot on film, but short movie just sounds weird to me. I say this because one of my professors called me out on it... so now I don't know what to call it.

Faux cake, Sunrise, and Pumpkins

As I expected, school has gotten in the way of posting. But I guess graduation is kind of important...
It's already October. Wow. Here's a little bit of what I have been up to these last couple of weeks.


I attempted to make a vegan chocolate cake. Not because I'm vegan, but just because I wanted to see what a cake only made with ingredients such as fruit, nuts, and cocoa would taste like. My version turned out REALLY ugly. (The blender apparently isn't a vegan fan.) BUT it did taste good! ...Different. But I liked it after the blender started to work with me, and actually BLEND.

I had my first shoot for my short film last week. I took this picture when I was checking out the location.

And this is just proof that it REALLY is October. (Sometimes it can be confusing living in Florida.)
