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.
