have fun finding me amongst the 14,000 fucking students we've got here. i had another opportunity to be in a film today. well, actually it is a scene being filmed tomorrow, and it would have been an all day gig (for $8 an hour). would have been freaking sweet. this one was for a scene in the clique, which as some of you already know was filmed in part here recently. i would have had to commute like 30 minutes to get to set for it. i emailed the casting agency my headshot (they sent out something to all of the extras who worked yesterday...which was about 50), but they said i didn't have the right look. the look was a preppy as hell teenager. and i am nothing near that. it sucks, but oh well. i have kind of befriended two of the people at the agency in hopes that they will email me about gigs as extras. i am hoping it works. i am just doing all i can to get into films. everything helps when you want to get into hollywood. |

thanks ven. currently i am trying to convince my mom to let me take up an internship at the ri film & tv office for the next few months. an internship there would be killer since on of the benefits it has is access to film sets and other amazing shit like that. there is also an internship over that i am also attempting to pursue via the film office -- and internship on the set of brotherhood s3, which is filmed here in rhode island. something like that would be fucking killer. if i can work that out somehow my mom would have to let me do it, because internships on a tv show are hard as fuck to acquire. that would be the ultimate foot in the door. all these opportunities, and i feel like the only one pursuing them. eee! |

my ultimate goal is to be the executive producer/head screenwriter of my own television series. i have been working off and on writing the pilot of a show for about the last year and a half (more off than on until the last month and a half). screenwriting is incredibly fulfilling. i have loved tv for as long as i can remember. and loved as in obsessed over. i would watch 6 hours straight back when i was just barely in elementary school. (god bless cartoons). it took a minor backseat for a few years when i was in that stage between cartoons and primetime tv (you know the one, right?). but after that starting with survivor in 2003 it went nuts. while lost was the proverbial flint, the real instance in which my film interest was sparked was moment from law and order: svu. literally it was a 1 second image. just there and gone. and the image was so minor...so trivial. but it was in that one sec0ond that my jaw dropped to the floor and i realized that "that is what i want to do." i immediately went upstairs and told my stepsister that i wanted to get into television as a writer. a few months later i began working on my own show, barely knowing the screenplay format. it'll be 2 years since i realized my dream come august (or was it july...or june?). i still don't know the exact measurement in inches of the spacing of each screenplay element, but i use a computer program for that anyways. it's just so much fun, coming up with stories. i have always loved stories, which is why i stick by damon lindelof on the following: i write because if i didn't i would be branded a pathological liar." i can lie far too well for my own good, and make excuses up on the spot. (i guess i am also good at acting). writing stories, i guess, acts as a bit of an outlet for that. anyways, i have no clue why i wrote all that up. i must really call the rhode island film and tv office tomorrow and see if they are open weekends. and then i need to see if i can work out details on an internship with them so that i can quell my mom's fears. if they are open on weekends, well, that will be the best news ever. |

wow, i feel happy as hell right now. i just spent about 15 minutes looking through the more recent episodes of law and order: svu, trying to find that exact episode that got me into film. and i found it. i am going to dl it just so that i can rewatch the moment in which i realize that this was what i wanted to do. anyways, in honor of the director, whose work is ultimately what inspired me, i have decided to name a character after him. since each of my characters have two names (real and alias) i have the room. this one is going in as the alias for the main character. kudos like hell to david platt. |
