Kickin it with the curry at Costco

I'm watching I'M NOT THERE on DVD right now... while I'm writing this...

It's a pretty cool movie... very surreal and abstract.... but I'm having trouble following... there's a lot going on there....

I'm gonna have to watch it again... give it my undivided attention...

I'm just doing a little Wednesday morning multi-tasking...

I have a print casting to go to today over on Sunset and Gower.... first time I've heard from my commercial agent in MONTHS.

My IMDB credit for my role on BONES went through....it's official.... hooray

Thank you Amanda Chism.

The episode "The Critic in the Cabernet," is scheduled to air on FOX on May 7th.

I'm "The Critic" in the cabernet.

I posted a new worksheet on the wall of my apartment so I could organize all my story lines and plot points for CATCH, my web series...

I have so many ideas bouncing around in my head for this series that I was in desperate need of devising a more specific game plan for the project.

I threw a giant piece of paper up on the wall and created 15 categories that constitute the fundamental beats to a proper screenplay.

I am using one my favorite little books "SAVE THE CAT: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need," by Blake Snyder.

I'm also using the "Blake Snyder Beat Sheet," as a reference, which is where I came up with the 15 categories... those are the 15 beats that Snyder lists as the essential structure for any good screenplay.

So I started doodling all my ideas up on the wall... fitting story lines and moments into beats...

and BAM!!

I'm got a feature film...

Approaching this web series from this perspective changes a few fundamental principals of the project.... but I've got something good here...

I'm excited.

Now I have a lot of issue to face, questions to ask...and decisions to make regarding CATCH...

But this is EXACTLY what I needed...

I guess I can mull things over while I'm wearing my hair net and rubber gloves at Costco today... handing out samples of TASTY BITE Indian Food...

UGH.... Yes... That's what I'll be doing for the next two weeks.

It's a job... I'm not thrilled about it... but times are tough and I desperately need the money.

I've been seeking and submitting like crazy. A sampling gig at Costco is the only thing on the table right now...

So I'm gonna make the best of it.

Come on through and visit y'all!

I'll be kicking it with the curry at the Costco in Los Feliz today, tomorrow and Friday from 3P-9P.
