no free lunch - yippeeeee!

I've been meaning to write about my crisis situation - but real life intervened!

My first real film shoot is next Sunday. I had a crew, location, actors, equipment, motivation - just no script!

So I waited for the last moment - as usual - and finished my script. It's called "No free lunch". I had the idea for the story since a few weeks but had not written it down properly. I wasn't sure how it would come out. My AD loved it - she is an undergrad, therefore more experienced than me (i know it sounds weird, but its my second quarter as a grad and third year for her as an undergrad) and she's gorgeous. She is. Really. How I wish my friend Sums was here! She would know what I mean.

I was thrilled about the fact that she loved it. Now I have to revise it once before I make final copies for the Monday class. The only problem is that the actors haven't confirmed till now. Just keeping my fingers crossed..

Oh, Happy Lohri to everyone back home! And especially to baby T - poor thing will be subjected to relatives once again today! Enjoy the warm fire and popcorns, and think of me while you do it.. :)

I have to come up with a production name by tomorrow. It is really silly but I want to decide once and for all. I have been waiting for this moment, and also dreading it - when I have to think of one name to describe my filmmaking style/concept/theme. It doesn't matter if I pick some random name now and change it later - but I don't want to do that. So it has to be something abstract, yet definite - all-encompassing, yet me. I wish I was super smart and could think of the perfect name. Any ideas?

Also, I would love to post my script on the blog but I'm afraid it might get stolen. Uh! The fears of the world wide web! What could be worse - my photo posted on a porn-site or my script stolen and filmed under someone else's name? Maybe I'm giving myself too much credit - both ways! So I should shut up and do some more work.
