As I begin my journey with this blog I figured I should start by listing some of the current projects I’m working on.
- “Down the Road” Festival Submissions – To start, I recently finished my first feature film at the beginning of this year. It’s a micro-budget (nearly zero budget) production, but I had a lot of fun making it. I’m currently submitting to festivals, so we’ll see how that goes. For more information, visit its page.
- New Feature Script – This is my main project right now. Using everything I learned from making “Down the Road” (and all the mistakes I made along the way), I wanted to craft a story all about someone going through a similar struggle. The pursuit of an all too ambitious dream, sabotaged by unreasonable perfectionism, and ultimately a downward spiral into creative paralysis. I’ve had this idea in my head since 2017 (when I was in my deepest struggles for “Down the Road”) and over the course of the last four years have been brainstorming ideas for it. As of today, I have amassed 141 pages of notes for it (single-spaced), and am ready to begin sifting through it all to finally construct the actual script. I believe in this project 100%, and fully believe that if done correctly it has the potential of making it into festivals like Sundance, Tribeca, etc. So that’s my main goal at the moment.
- New Site Features – I’m also still working on building this site. Namely, the music page. My goal is to have a full listing of all my music tracks currently on YouTube/SoundCloud, complete with the ability to preview them, sort by genre/mood filters, access downloads, etc. I’m also setting up e-mail services and contact forms so people can get in touch.
That’s all for now. Looking forward to posting more as it comes in!
