Yet another update (YAU)... well it's been a while. Seems like the updates have been less frequent lately. The main reason for that is because I'm in the writing process. It takes me a long time to write something. I started off thinking I'll do a short film, but any story I thought about didn't take a short film form. It was either a feature length script or series format. Then I had some really negative feedback from a fellow, who claimed that he wanted to help me, but it didn't look like he did. Just a sequence of negative comments without any suggested improvements. To be fair, after I pointed that out to him, he back tracked and kept insisting that he's just being straightforward. Then gave me some feedback, which to be honest, was stuff I've already heard, but in a much more constructive way. One good thing that came out of this unfortunate experience is I decided to hire a guy to go over the script idea I had at the time. I spent a weekend with him and we hammered down some ideas. I thought it was very useful. The guy was knowledgeable and he did introduce me to Blake Snider's Save the Cat. That really helped.

Anyway, after that weekend, I spent a long time trying to work out a good outline for the story I had in mind using the Save the Cat beat sheet. Just when I had one done, my daughter suggested to me another story idea. She wanted me to help her write it. I decided to be a good dad and do that. The more I worked on her story the more it shaped up to be a very good fit for the open movie project. So, I decided to go with her idea and base the open movie endeavour on it.

I just finished draft one of the script and I'm working on revisions currently.

The story is about two kids who have to rescue a kidnapped baby and return him to his parents before Christmas day.

I'm still debating whether I should publish the script on this site.

Anyway, my next step is to polish the script and then get a bunch of feedback on it.
