Still Alive and Directing!

Just a quick update before I hit the sack. It had been a helluva a week for me, not only did I accumulated the total of 24 hours of actual sleep time, I also made Director on Monday. Hooray!!
Since Monday I've been heavily involved in the pre-production of a short film called, "Have 2 Laugh" (working title); during the emergency film meet on said night, I pitched some brilliant ideas to the rest of my film group and they dug it. With that, I seized the opportunity to elect myself as their new director, since the previous one left the group for a paying gig instead. Besides, nobody seemed to be foolish enough or brave enough to vie for this creative position. On one hand, the onus is on me to show the world my creative vision, and if it sucks then Mr. Director will have to swallow his pride and bite the bullet. However, I have nothing to worry about, because I am brilliant!!

On Wednesday, I ordered a rehearsal but instead we wound up spending 4 hours tweaking the screenplay to maximize several gags, as well as tightening the story(or lack thereof).

Next Wednesday is the ACTUAL Read-thru/ Rehearsal. Hope it all goes down smooth, like a swig of Iced Cap on a smoggy day.

Other than that, I got censored by my instructor at Improv on Sunday, and inadvertently earned the title of the"Potty Mouth Wonder" amongst my cohorts. Hey! That's alright! It's like that age old admonition that says; when you go to jail you must fuck somebody up on the first day, or else you'll wind up being on the somebody's bitch. Well, guess what? I'm the guy who's befriended the bitch's papa.
