Why do I maintain this site?
I was asked this a few days ago. Good question. Thought provoking.
Some people thought I created it to “get noticed”. Couldn’t be further from the truth but, if that happens, as long as I “get noticed” in a good way then so be it…
Is the site’s purpose to “showcase” my work. Yes, but that truly is not the main reason I spend time doing this.
No, the purpose of this blog is simply to “record” my journey. In 2007 I started to learn how to write a screenplay. Like most aspiring screenwriters, I was sure my first SP would be a great success. Ha! I couldn’t have been further from the truth.
Over the last three years, I have learned that, while writing screenplays is a journey, getting the screenplay produced is also a journey.
Computers and digital cameras have impacted the process of getting features produced. More aspiring filmmakers can enter this competitive arena. The recent movie “Paranormal Activity” is a good example.
So, I’m recording my personal journey. I do not use the word “journey” lightly. This endeavor will take time, lots of it. It will be a journey!
But I have time. As mentioned somewhere, someplace, my goal is to have a feature made by the year 2036. That’s the year I’ll turn 85!
