Whoo I Did It. I won Script Frenzy

Wow. I wrote 100 pages of a screenplay in 20 days. I'm exhausted. My brain is fried, but my characters are alive... except for the ones I had to kill off in dramatic fashion for the sake of the story.

The story was a cross between Steele Magnolias and Election. I hope all of your who tarted on the journey won in your own way. Even if you didn't finish, you tried.This was my first screen play I used this great free program called Celtx. its free and it formatted everything and made writing in the correct format so easy.

You will likely never see this screenplay on the big screens anytime soon. Too many different sets :)
But during the process, i finally worked out my first short. Imagine Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon meets Lord of the Rings ... with Black women and girls. A ton CG 75% green screen. 5 speaking roles including one for an older African American woman. I even know what the costumes look like. SQUEE! It all came to me in the middle of script frenzy, but I couldn't stop until I finished. so anywhoo. I have to drag it all out of my brain and onto paper, get a storyboard, price everything out and then I'll get back to y'all because we are going to fund the project trough Indie GOGO. You will be able to purchase the movie before its done. Plus those of you contributing a certain amount will get credit as associate producers. Yep that's right. For all eternity you will be able to say you were a movie producer.

But most important, I'm going to show you that this can SO. BE. DONE.

What the past month  of screen writing and television producing has taught me is that its not hard. It isn't necessarily easy, but 90% of the challenge is getting something recorded. Just get it in the can and you'll be ahead of most. It doesn't have to be perfect, but until those ideas leave your head and are recorded, then they don't exist.
