So I've got some good news about stuff and updates and everything as well. The good news as of now is that on Dec. 13th I have a meeting with the Utica Players about my play 'The Quest for Dairy'. I have to go there and let them know what it's all about and hopefully get that on the road; according to Dan Fusillo, since I want to direct it as well I will have to work under a seasoned director first to learn the ropes and then I will be able to direct my play.
I'm having some conflict in my mind though, I'm not sure if I want to direct this play, I think I would rather have just written it and possibly act in it. I've never directed anything before in my life so I'm a little nervous about it, but I guess that's why I have to work under a seasoned director first. I also have to ask how the pay works, because although I really really want to see my play performed, I would like to make some money off of it as I am a commercial artist not a fine artist. You know what I'm saying? I'm not dissing any fine artists out there, I love you guys, I mean I dabble in the fine arts occasionally. Anyway that is pretty much the good news.
The news I have right now is that I have finished a poetry book which I plan on publishing through Lulu.com if I can ever figure that out. It's suppose to be really simple but I'm having some trouble (maybe I'm just an idiot). If anyone has dealt with Lulu before and can give me some tips n such let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.
Also I have just about completed the fifth pencilled page for 'Masters of Fiction!' my graphic novel. I know, it seems like it is taking me forever. But since this is my first graphic novel ever I am taking my time and making it as perfect as possible. I'm going to be so nervous when it comes time to ink all the pages, I have only a little confidence in my inking abilities. Although the illustrations I have inked haven't turned out that bad actually so yeah.
Oh yes and I have been watching over and over the rough edited clip of "Where the Truth Lies" the move Rachel and I were in by director/writer/actor Rich Talarico. It looks really good and has the feel of a good film, we did really well and were very funny according to other people who have seen it and we've actually witnessed people laughing at our parts so I'm happy with it!! I can't wait till you guys can see it for sure. Rich will be entering it into some film festivals and what not, so hopefully it wins some attention and stuff. Well there ya go, until next time.
