a description of the amazing and exciting adventures i have here in baltimore--- and other lies.

 
I had an awesome meeting today concerning the film I wish to produce/direct, Fall In New York. As I flesh out the details of the script, I hope to post some of it here, both for my own protection and your reading pleasure. Viki has promised to help me with dialogue, and, of course, any suggestions from you guys would be welcome indeed.

The meeting was with the person I hoped would be my lead actress, and she has agreed to do the part, which means now I have to get it together. But, I have had many good coincidences with the project so far, and this has been very encouraging. The more I work on it, the more it seems do-able. For example, I ran into a guy I have not seen for a while on Friday. Well, "running into" is and isn't correct to say, insofar as he is in the bar all the time, but I did not go there to talk to him specifically. When he heard how my life is going these days, and that I was working on this project, he volunteered to help, and also let me know that he knew some people connected with the Maryland Film Commission, which will help me big time.

Then, today, when I was talking to my lead, another guy approached me, saying he had overheard me talking. He is a photographer, and wants to get into film work too. He may well end up being my Director of Photography/Cinematographer.

Can you imagine if I pull this off? I waver between "Oh, Man! This is AWESOME!" and "I have no idea what the fuck I am doing."
I have a lot of support so far, and good people to help me. I may just be ok.

To quote Hannibal Smith, from the A-Team: "I love it when a plan comes together!"
