Here is a brief update on my current creative projects and endeavors…!

Wednesday, September 26th

Today, did some research about various production companies on IMDbPro.

Thursday, September 27th

Continuing work on The Flea.
Went on a date with Wes to the California Academy of Science: Nightlife at the Academy. Saw some amazing sights (jellyfish, baby ostriches, etc.) and had a wonderful time with Wes.

Friday, September 28th

Today, met with Gabe and his friend, Masa — a film director. They asked me to collaborate with them on a screenplay called The Blanks. The concept is really interesting and I feel that I can use my expertise to really flesh out the characters and story. But I think I have to discuss everything further with Gabe and Masa to figure out exactly what they want.
Discussed children’s book further with Gabe. Scheduled next meeting for Friday, October 12th.
Watched the short film and read the short script that Gabe and Masa want me to collaborate on in order to expand it to feature length. Brainstorming ideas!
Reworked my résumé since it needed some updating.

Saturday, September 29th

Worked on opening scene and ideas/notes for The Blanks. Sent to Gabe for feedback.

Today, scanned all completed pages of The Poet and the Flea!!!
Working on cropping scanned pages of The Flea and adding to draft posts on WordPress.
