When it rains...

As if by some crazy spark of inspiration that struck my like a Louisville Slugger to the cranium, I'm suddenly on fire with ideas for work.

Well, first on my most current project. "Time", as we'll call it, has been re-green-lit again. The indie film leader, Mary, is going to let me use her Cannon DV to shoot my film. With my mic and mixer that's gonna rock. Secondly, she lined up a great casting call and she said we're gonna have a ton of people. Some are coming in from as far as Dallas. One might even come from Florida.

What does that mean? That means I gotta get off my duff and get my film shot.

I had submitted two ideas to the group for our showcase in August at our last meeting. My son watches a lot of wrestling, which incidentally I've started to do too. So I wrote a story sort of about that. The second submission was a comedic take on the spy film, but in short form. Mary said that the people coming to the casting call have expressed a lot of interest in that one.

The wrestling thing was snatched up by a kid in the group who loves wrestling and really wants to direct something. The treatment I wrote for it was kinda vague, so during this moment of inspiration, I gave the whole thing a different twist and opened up the possibilities.

It felt really good for the words to explode like that. Felt like I had cork in my brain and it was just pulled.

The creative batteries just needed a recharge maybe or more fuel.

Snakes on a plane, man. Its all just snakes on a plane.
