Interim

I'm back in a mist-shrouded LA for a bit, away from where I want to be and who I want to be with, and having to force myself not to write here as a means of distraction from all the other hemming and hawing I've got to catch up on. This whole thing about not having finished a feature screenplay in however many years it's been since I've finished one is getting on my nerves. And then, beyond the realm of the written word, I put some finishing touches on St. Nick (again) the other night, smoothing out a few more wrinkles in the sound design and making a few articulated trims to a shot or two. I hesitate to say that this will be the last time I button it up, but maybe these fixes will tide me over just long enough for all the hard drives to fail for good (they've been making such awful noises lately) at which point I'll be stuck with whatever master I turned over to the distributor.

Said exchange is an appropriate signifier of a certain turning point in one film's life. Time for the next one - and, indeed, I'm quietly (and now not so quietly) moving forward with a new film. It'll probably be short-ish, but one can never tell with these things (the script is nine pages long). Hopefully we'll shoot by the end of the summer. The working title is Pioneer.
