go BIG or go home

just enough is no longer enough for me. i've gone through 3 jobs in less than 1 year and clearly Maya is too big and needs to be the boss :) i can now check off "educate myself on the business side of arts" from my 2011 goals which is however an ongoing process. i studied the grind at the studio and now know what works and what doesn't and more importantly what i like and don't. now for bigger and better things...THE SCRIPT! remember that? i'll have to be obsessed if this project can get the big CHECK in a decent time span. i've interview several people over the phone but one in particular is semi-identical to my protagonist. she lives in LA and her personal story speaks VOLUMES to me and a phone interview just doesn't cut it, which means an in-person interview and an excuse for a trip to LA! details still need to be worked out but that's the plan.

another 80's movie/story inspiration that to this day still rocks my world, Revenge of the Nerds

blast from the past

while in illinois me, the hubs, and grans kicked back and watched the classics, Blues Brothers and Breakfast Club. oh i love classics! and it was great watching two movies that took place in illinois in illnois :)

Bender stole the show

all you young thespians looking for monologues...peruse through the script. the writing in this movie is great.

i forgot how amazing the blues brothers is. the movies is filled with ridonkulous camera composition, over the top shots, insane extra casting, star studded cast... i druel, i druel

look at this shot! it speaks volumes! it's just stunning!
