have fun finding me amongst the 14,000 fucking students we've got here.
i had another opportunity to be in a film today. well, actually it is a scene
being filmed tomorrow, and it would have been an all day gig (for $8 an hour).
would have been freaking sweet. this one was for a scene in the clique, which
as some of you already know was filmed in part here recently. i would have had
to commute like 30 minutes to get to set for it. i emailed the casting agency
my headshot (they sent out something to all of the extras who worked
yesterday...which was about 50), but they said i didn't have the right look.
the look was a preppy as hell teenager. and i am nothing near that. it sucks,
but oh well.
i have kind of befriended two of the people at the agency in hopes that they
will email me about gigs as extras. i am hoping it works. i am just doing all
i can to get into films. everything helps when you want to get into hollywood.

thanks ven.
currently i am trying to convince my mom to let me take up an internship at the
ri film & tv office for the next few months. an internship there would be
killer since on of the benefits it has is access to film sets and other amazing
shit like that. there is also an internship over that i am also attempting to
pursue via the film office -- and internship on the set of brotherhood s3, which
is filmed here in rhode island. something like that would be fucking killer.
if i can work that out somehow my mom would have to let me do it, because
internships on a tv show are hard as fuck to acquire. that would be the
ultimate foot in the door.
all these opportunities, and i feel like the only one pursuing them. eee!

my ultimate goal is to be the executive producer/head screenwriter of my own
television series. i have been working off and on writing the pilot of a show
for about the last year and a half (more off than on until the last month and a
half). screenwriting is incredibly fulfilling. i have loved tv for as long as
i can remember. and loved as in obsessed over. i would watch 6 hours straight
back when i was just barely in elementary school. (god bless cartoons). it
took a minor backseat for a few years when i was in that stage between cartoons
and primetime tv (you know the one, right?). but after that starting with
survivor in 2003 it went nuts.
while lost was the proverbial flint, the real instance in which my film interest
was sparked was moment from law and order: svu. literally it was a 1 second
image. just there and gone. and the image was so minor...so trivial. but it
was in that one sec0ond that my jaw dropped to the floor and i realized that
"that is what i want to do." i immediately went upstairs and told my stepsister
that i wanted to get into television as a writer.
a few months later i began working on my own show, barely knowing the screenplay
format. it'll be 2 years since i realized my dream come august (or was it
july...or june?). i still don't know the exact measurement in inches of the
spacing of each screenplay element, but i use a computer program for that anyways.
it's just so much fun, coming up with stories. i have always loved stories,
which is why i stick by damon lindelof on the following: i write because if i
didn't i would be branded a pathological liar." i can lie far too well for my
own good, and make excuses up on the spot. (i guess i am also good at acting).
writing stories, i guess, acts as a bit of an outlet for that.
anyways, i have no clue why i wrote all that up. i must really call the rhode
island film and tv office tomorrow and see if they are open weekends. and then
i need to see if i can work out details on an internship with them so that i can
quell my mom's fears. if they are open on weekends, well, that will be the best
news ever.

wow, i feel happy as hell right now. i just spent about 15 minutes looking
through the more recent episodes of law and order: svu, trying to find that
exact episode that got me into film. and i found it. i am going to dl it just
so that i can rewatch the moment in which i realize that this was what i wanted
to do.
anyways, in honor of the director, whose work is ultimately what inspired me, i
have decided to name a character after him. since each of my characters have
two names (real and alias) i have the room. this one is going in as the alias
for the main character.
kudos like hell to david platt.
