My short film HITMAN is wrapping up production in L.A. this month. Ricky Moore of Rosenbard Films is the filmmaker, and he's had to battle the demons of lack of funds and time to take it from my script to post production. I'm excited to see the outcome of all that hard work when it comes out this summer and *crossed fingers* we eventually get it onto the festival circuit.
I also have a short MUSTANG optioned with Lucas Krost, an award winner director in Richmond, Virginia who is a champion of regional filmmakers.
If you write feature length screenplays, it's a good idea to consider writing shorts too. Is it because they're easier? No! It takes just as much energy and creativity to craft a 10 page short that has impact and character development as a 120 page script. Story is story, and all the rules apply. Short films are often a calling card for writers, directors and film students to garner notice of their talents. Filmmakers usually have to fight tooth and nail to scrape together enough personnel, time, and money to get these films completed. We're talking serious commitment. And that bodes well for producers looking for professionals to work with on feature projects.
I'll keep you posted on the progress of these films and tell you where you can see them when they're launched into the world!
