Just a Thought...

I'm working on the second draft of my fourth Film School script, and when I think back to a year ago, and everything I didn't know about screenwriting that I do now, I feel so lucky and humbled for everything I've learned from all my amazing professors and classmates. I truly, truly love it, and I truly, truly wouldn't be anywhere without them.

If anyone ever asked me if they should go to Film School, I wouldn't hesitate a second. And if they ever asked me where they should go, I'd tell them here. Because there's so much more to Film School than learning how to write a script. I've gotten a second family, full of writers and filmmakers, and I know that we'll work together (and do crazy, weird things together) forever.

So, if anyone reading this knows anyone who wants to go to Film School, or wants to go themselves, that's my pitch. I've never made a better decision.

More features, more pitching!

We're in the second week of our second intensive for the semester. Last week, we did more mock pitches, and we have another tomorrow, where we're pitching all new stuff-- new ideas we haven't written yet.

I've finished the first draft of my 10th feature, and I feel really happy with it. It's a comedy, and there isn't much that I have to change in it. It made people laugh, which makes me really happy. I'm really excited about how my friends felt about it, and I can't wait to finish it so when I move to LA, I can pitch it for real.

This semester is almost over, and it's absolutely insane! I'm almost done with Film School, and I feel like I just got here!

Hopefully I'll have some really exciting news about the summer semester coming soon. I can't wait to spend this summer making connections with all of the alums out in LA.

Anyway, I'm super busy with intensives and teaching, but it's all going wonderfully.
