Pre-Production of Hope

Hello,

I don't know if I have mentioned it before but I am working on a script for a feature film that I will be shooting over the summer (2011). I started writing the script last year and for a few months I have had writer's block aka. doubting if my film will be imperative for anyone to see but my doubt has dissolved after watching many interviews of other actors and directors. Some of their words have inspired me to find the true meaning of my film. I would love to say what my film is about on my blog but it hasn't been copyrighted yet and I don't want to take any chances. All  I can say is a tiny statement that I made up to represent my film: When life throws you lemons you rely on your imagination to make the bitter bearable. Thanks to my helpful friends, so far I have two actresses (Jasmine and Erica) casted and a  composer (Sajjad). I am extremely happy that I have a composer. I really thought that wasn't going to be possible but I listened to a few songs that Sajjad has composed and shared on Facebook and I believe that he is really talented.


P.S
Once my film has been copyrighted , this blog will become an archive of the 5 stages of filmmaking (Development>Pre-Production>Production>Post-Production>Distribution).   


Here are some interviews that I have watched: 


1.When I saw this I remember that it takes LUCK and hard work to become successful and that I should always reach for my dreams. I feel like the day you give up on your dreams would be the day you would have made it. 




2. While watching this I learned how great it would be to work with your friends in your career because they know your personality and I would be more comfortable. Hopefully they are comfortable with me being their director and respect my vision.



3. This video taught me that I need to develop my characters better so my audience can understand the character's mannerisms,  choice of words, well over all the SOUL of my characters.
