The Ghost of Molly Brown

Good news nobody!

Well, not really good, pretty average, really.

While I wait for my “co-workers” to finish reading my script so I can actually revise it and then film it, I completely forgot that Script Frenzy, which last year was held in June, I think, has moved to April, and I thought that I may as well write the sequel as I’m pretty clear about where I want to go. All I want to say is the title: Molly Brown: Apocalypsis Infit. Apocalypsis is Greek for literally “lifting the viel” (according to the Wikipedia for Apocalypse), and Infit is “it begins” in Latin, so basically, Apocalypse Begins…interesting…

I’ll try and update this blog as much as possible when writing.

For those of you who don’t know Script Frenzy is all about writing a 100-word script in 30 days. Last year, when it was in June, it was a word target of 20,000 words, and I got there, but I don’t even think it hit 100 words, but oh well…

SCRIPT FRENZY…INFIT!

75 pages.

64 scenes.

I’m finished my second draft and it feels great. I’m happy with where I went with the characters and I’m gonna talk with my producing partners (teehee) James and Michael and we’ll go over the script and see what works and what doesn’t. Hopefully, that will be for a third (and final) draft as I need to film ASAP.

Cheers!
POST-SCRIPT: Script Frenzy starts on April 1st! Start those hilariously awful script ideas flowing!!!

The script is slowly getting finished. I’m just under 70 pages and have just started the awesome climax. Hopefully the climax will run for quite a few pages but I already know that actions are quicker to read than they are to show in a film. Hopefully I’m looking at about 80 minutes so far. At the end I should have about 100 minutes (I hope).

But at least I’m getting closer to finishing. The sooner I finish, the sooner I can film. The sooner I film, the quicker I can finish it, and the quicker I finish it, the closer I get to the premiere.

I am planning to have it at Richmond Regent, which is a family-run business (so I’m told) but I definitely know it isn’t a big chain like Hoyts, so the chances of me renting a cinema out are good. I just hope they do but a little birdy told me that they rent out to parties and classes all the time. Hopefully, the little bird is telling the truth, because there’s nothing that I want more than to celebrate my eighteenth at the premiere of my first full-length film.

It will be awesome. Come the first school holiday break I’ll go to the Regent and ask them about it and see what they say.

But I’m getting closer and closer to actually finishing it which is great for me.
