Redress - 1st Draft Completed
Posted on 4 October, 2007 in Redress
I have finally found time to sit down and finish the first draft of the script for Redress. The problem with being an indie filmmaker is that your job and other responsibilities always take priority over your filmmaker duties. I’ve been talking with producers and musicians on numerous projects. We’re also getting ready for a huge vacation in one week so there has been a ton of planning for that. Now that I have some time to myself I was able to sit down again and write.
The funny thing about this story was that I knew where it would start and I knew where it would end, but I did not know exactly how it would end. After hammering out the last few pages I sat back and thought, “Wow, how the hell am I going to pull this off?” While some people just let their imaginations run all over the place while they are writing, I always try to remain grounded and think about how I would have to pull off an effect or camera angle with every scene that I write. Sometimes this limits me because I’ll have a great idea and then realize there is no way in hell, unless I my numbers come up in Super Lotto, that I could never pull off the shot. At the same time, I need to constantly push myself as a filmmaker. There will be a lot of filming at night with this one and we’ll be doing some crazy lighting effects both in photography and in post to create some of the ghost effects. Hopefully, in the end, the film will pay off. I think it will.
I will be posting the casting call for this one very soon.
