idk why but the whole "a twenty-something" phrase really rubs me the wrong way, give your characters an actual age. Or just change it to say "A Guy in his 20s", but take out that god awful thing.

^And that you were right. Which brings me to my new attempt for TECH. How does this stack up:

A misanthropic tech support rep is forced to work with his male-aversive female co-worker and an ensemble cast of call center misfits. Meanwhile, a VENGEFUL customer attempts to seek and destroy the center that gave him years of grief and shitty tv service!

Finished revisions and notes with Exodus and TECH. Now doing DEUX.

Limiting the dialogue this time and now adding a new element with the beginning--making Revolver snidley comment on his surroundings and making a few more 4th wall breaking stuff like references to literary devices. Like in one new scene, Revolver reveals to the audience he was actually acting as a unreliable narrator outright, laughs in our faces how "we bought it" and then tells the real story on HOW exactly he got in the match with the Old Man.

Applied all those revisions to TECH, nearly killed myself over it. Gave it to a friend to proofread and critique it, so far he likes it!

Going over it, I love the script even more now but I know the number one thing people will say about it is that there are too many main characters (but if you ever worked in a call center, you know you can't properly represent it with only 4-5 characters). And maybe comment on the fact they have no given names (which is non-negotiable, they are never getting given names.) I also feel the story is a little cumbersome in the beginning still. Might have to get rid of more scenes that don't work.

Also editing and expanding Project Exodus, aaarrrgh. High Concept Sci-Fi movies are hard to write....

Tech is undergoing a few more rewrites. Every scene is almost perfect. The only real complaint now is that it still takes a bit long before the story actually "starts", too many introductions. Not sure if I want to change that cause it'll mean getting rid of a scene I really enjoy, but we'll see.

Exodus is slowly progressing. Completely frustrating cause this thing should've been done back in the summer, but by taking our time we were able to come up with some cool stuff. Still, i'd like to finish this sooner...

Stasis is coming along WONDERFULLY. If you see a bunch of "Audio Network" tracks in my sig, its cause i've been listening to it nonstop cause I was constantly generating ideas from it. It's that badass of a track. Season 3 is fully fleshed out, Season 4 is almost there, and there are some great ideas for the first two seasons. Love to work on it some more but I have other commitments to fulfill first (DON'T WHIP ME MITTZ!!).

I'm working on my semester projects almost constantly these past few weeks and for the next few as well, but I'm slowly reading your script, and I will get back to you. Just wanted to let you know.

Basically jumping all over the place, high on the priority list is doing some tweaks for The Assignment before releasing it for review. Also adding stuff for Tech and getting ready to get back to writing Exodus and re-writing DEUX.

80 Proof may be the project I can do with a micro-budget and do most of everything (editing, directing, writing) by myself. So I'm also lifting that higher on the "to do" list. This is the logline I have for this one:

A painfully shy college student turns into a suave "playing with fire" Don Juan-type when he gets drunk, attracting a woman who might be "the one."

I think I can tweak it some more and make it better, but unfortunately this was originally written for a short film story contest and the due date is tomorrow. I like the story though. It was really fun to write for. I'm hoping the decision to tie it into my DEUX script will won't backfire, but fuck it if it does.

And yes, that's Ben Whishaw as Q in the pic. Couldn't help but think of him as the protagonist the entire way.

Anyways, I hope you guys read it and I really hope you enjoy it. It's a 30 page script, very short read.

Here are early conceptual designs for the feature length film THE ASSIGNMENT.

Sandra looks too beat up but otherwise this is a great step to realizing this vision.

The first draft for "The Assignment" is done. Passed it off to my colleague so he can do rewrites before coming back to me.

Now i'm doing rewrites for Project Exodus and CREW. After all is said and done, four scripts will be done and ready to go out in the market. Then an additional two movie spec scripts (along with a SCI-FI television pilot) will be in development.

It's real early, but I already made a Youtube page to post future short films: http://www.youtube.com/user/VidiotIncor ... ature=mhee

My TV pilot, bOUNTY, is finished!

Right now i'm working on a second draft to "clean it up", making sure it's paced properly, then i'll be sending it out.

I had to count them. I have over six movie scripts completed (and a few more that only exist as outlines), but only two of them are considered "ready". I also have another TV pilot in development, which is a collaboration. We agreed to write them as a novel first (I prefer a graphic novel).

Altogether, I have 19 projects in development.
