Reset Approaching

October 11th, 2018

I figured some stuff out. I’m resetting almost everything.

It’s a GREAT thing, actually.

Still in school, though failing because of math still. I’m hanging in there as best as I can. I am diverting to my original path, though. Long before all this talk about going back to school and law school — I was a filmmaker. A storyteller. I found, the longer I was away from my hearts desire, the more miserable I’ve become; as reflected in this journal.

I’ll explain more shortly. What I will say is the direction of this journal is resetting and it won’t have anything to do with law school at all.

Filmmaking

I had a rich history of attempts to make films. Each attempt was better than the last but always, ALWAYS a problem with audio. An odd, persistent curse. 

I’m proud of both films though, at the time, I cringed daily at the issues. I worked hard with what little I had. And I had less than zero.

So, with me working to have a better education, better life’s position and higher confidence lately, guess who has been feeling that need to create a film?

This time around, I’m doing things well organized. I have an idea for a short film (30 minutes) and would be considered festival quality. NOT YouTube. Even though Facebook is getting into the streaming action, I need to hit the festivals. A long time desire.

Plus, if I do well at the festivals, the other streaming entities will be an easier grasp.

This era of film and content was practically made for me and I haven’t taken advantage of it. Mostly because I was spending the last 10-20 years climbing out of an emotional/financial hole. Still climbing but I see the light.

This idea I have would be a prequel to a story. If it works, it gives me a chance to do the actual script itself.
