summer projects

this blog was kind of supposed to be more about me and my work than me and my boredom. so here goes:

1. my screenplay which i wrote in highschool is being produced by a masters student in UCLA's Producing Program. how cool is that?

2. i am actually doing work (whoa, right?) on a documentary about a group of bike stunt guys from milwaukee wisconsin. (stay tuned for a rave on the format of documentary filmmaking)

3. i have been taking photos. ok, so that doesn't seem too exciting, i know, but i havent been doing much of it lately, so i feel like its a small accomplishment. and i'm planning on taking more BMX (bicycle motorcross) and skateboarding photos.

4. the director of the Chopin Theatre in Chicago wants to collaborate with me after seeing some of my artwork.

5. i am working on what promises to be the root of a new screenplay

i am still interested in taking people's portraits and creating short experimental pieces. i'm also still in pre-production for seth's music video. and any possible other documentary projects that could come up.

i love the documentary. you can do one about anything, if only you love the topic and can make others see why. plus, when you decide what to make the film about, you meet a whole slew of people who can be so interesting, who are interested in you because you're interested in them. it can be a true collaboration. a lot of the biker boys are also into art, and video and photography, so i'm hoping they'll be able to help me out with a little bit of everything. and its not every day that some chick from 100 miles away asks them for interviews and takes interest in what they do, a sport that takes so much work and gets very little recognition. [end of rave about documentaries].
