Tip for Smart Writers



So, when you are writing your next script Suds, try not doing some things:

1) Writing entire pages of scenes that are set inside a public transportation vehicle like the TCAT

2) Make a forty year old, sllightly obese, caucasian TCAT bus driver with white hair one of the leads of your film (exception: unless you already know someone who is this person)

3) Do NOT write a five minute musical sequence that has to be cut and shot to this internationally famous, amazing song; the rights of which you will never be able to get and the use of which you will never be able to justify in a small film like yours. Case in point: Joni Mitchell/Both Sides Now or Damien Rice/Blower's Daughter.

4) Write in a death scene at a busy public hospital because, let's see why not, because... hmm, i dont know... i can't figure this one out. O! My banker is here... let me go balance my GIANT bank accounts seeing as how I have enough money to actually stage and shoot a giant public hospital in turmoil...

Also, yesterday someone said: Smart people learn from their own mistakes and wise people learn from the mistakes of others... hmm, i think that is the central source of conflict between me and my parents...

Movie I am watching tonight: I am Cuba at Cornell Cinema at 7/15p.

Legal/Justified distractions: Film Festival applications for previous film / Seminar on film applications / This Blog (!!)

Celebrity I have some simple questions for: Snoop Dogg (did I spell that right?)

Director I DO NOT want to be: Michael Moore.
Director no one is letting me be ANYWAY: See previous.

Song on the Speakers: Ben Folds / Fred Jones Part 2.

Peace out, Suds
