Dec 13, 05 02:24 pm — I'm just starting to gather my breath after the last 16 days or so. I worked the last week of a TV movie called "The Shrink" with Muriel Hemmingway, bested (2nd in command of the lighting dept) 4 days on an 8 million dollar feature called "The Marsh" and bookended it with gaffing (head lighting tech) a short feature called "The Love Box" about a dysfuntional family that runs a massive porn store.
Oh, and I won two rounds of poker last night at the bar.
I love that crazy movie speak. How long until you become a Gaffer?
Read the post...I just gaffed a short feature...it's an independant but I'm now in like flynn with a DP. (Director of Photography). We're doing lighting studies start of the new year.
Ah yeah, I see that now. How long have you been wanting to do DP in your films? (tongue firmly in cheek)
I'm working up to that...it's my ultimate goal...but for now I'm just going to work and learn...I've got a small project I'm going to be doing over the next year or so, (writer and director) but in this industry, you have to take your time and slug it out. I'm a solid 3rd in truth, but always trying new things, challenging myself.
have you tried sex with boys yet?
no. And like eating shit...I figure it one of those things best left untried.
good. just wanted to make sure.
congrats btw.
having work in a field that you like is good.
If I my life was working a field I hated for the rest of my life I'd just end it and be done with it. No sense in lying to yourself.
That's right, work that booty. 
The Love Box sounds like a delightful movie. Who was the fluffer if you were the gaffer?
Not porn...about a porn store. I'll see if I can't post the film when it's edited, I'll have to get permission from the producer (she's a hot lil blonde, should be no problem...plus I just heard she broke up with her bf)
Mixing business with pleasure. You Hollywood types are all alike.
And I have a photoshoot with a hot lil brunette (who likes the rough stuff) on Sunday. :P
So when will you get me in as a screenwriter?
When you submit me a script...yer new at this aren't you?
haha I was just kidding, most likely it wont be until after I graduate college that I'll have time to write a decent script of anything...until then I just have my stress and dreams
Stress and dreams make good scripts. Write now whilst its in your head...don't worry about format...just write.
yeah I keep journals and write constantly...I probably already have the next great American novel under my bed
soon you will be a "best boy grip" lol
Or will it be "grip the best boy"?
That could be pleasant, depending upon who is doing the gripping...
I am an electric...not a grip...they are smelly and unclean. (an on-going good humour fight between departments.)
Sounds like you've had some wonderful opportunities there Wit.
I hope that the new year contiues to bring you good fortune.
I got an idea for an original screenplay that takes place in space, a real good vs. evil trilogy that can be expanded later down the road to another trilogy. The best part is that the success will create a bunch of 30 - 40 year old fan boys that are devoted to essentially a childrens fairytale.
There are no actors, instead we use commercial wares we plan to sell (i.e. action figures, McDonalds toys, etc, etc) with voiceovers. The story will be about as shallow as a puddle of ant piss, but we will paint one of the enemies faces red and black with horns to really capture our target audience of nostalgic mothers-basement dwellers stuck in a pre-pubescent mental state and 4 year olds.
I'll call it: Merchandise Wars
/steals the idea and runs off to be a Hollywood mega gazillionaire
It's already been made...badly. Hardware Wars.
LMFAO oh shit thats funny.
