New chapter

Today was a fantastic day to lay out by the pool to do nothing, but tan. As I woke up this morning, my teenage years came to an end, and now I am finally in my early 20s. Although, I am not too excited about getting old, but deep down I feel more than ready to be 20 years old. I feel like my body is of a 25 year old. Perhaps, I am just saying this as I excitedly look forward more toward my 21st Vegas birthday bash.

This weekend was an end of an era, a major chapter in my life, as I quit working for the evil mouse, started an internship, and entered into my 20s. Everything in my career life seems to be falling into place. Everyone at the ODV office was not hesitant to kick me out into the real world. Everyone seems to fully support me as I escape the mouse, and start my "real world" job. With each step I take on this yellow brick road, I am finding that I am surrounding myself with great friends looking for the wizard, my ticket into the business.

This week, I begin the arduous life of an intern. Tirelessly driving to Hollywood for multiple shoots back to back. Despite the exhaustion, I am absolutely looking forward to all shoot days. I love being on set at Mack Sennette Studios just off Sunset. I feel like the real deal, a hot shoot looking to make it. I hope that gig can lead to endless opportunities in multitude directions. For now, my work is my obsession until I start the Semester in LA program at Raleigh Studios. Until then, I am off to see the wizard.

Baby Steps is COMPLETE!

After a semester long arduous journey of planning, writing, shooting for 8 hours, days of editing, and 5 hours of waiting for youtube to upload this film, it is complete. Done. Finito. I have fought long and hard for this film, almost dying twice to get it made. Well that sounds too dramatic, but I did almost get hit by a bus twice. That did scare the crap out of me. Anyways, I am excited and proud to announce the completion of the film because as I am making the DVD copies for my cast and crew, I feel that the end of another school year is near. This does not sadden me. In fact, I am the quite opposite, I can feel that summer is around the corner. The newly planted vibrant colored tulips in the city bring me memories of my favorite season. The fresh smell of summer rain, and the soothing sound of it hitting my fifth floor window is music to my ears. Although I will greatly miss my new friends in Chicago, I am eager to return home to start a new chapter of my life. Perhaps, I feel nostalgic since my teen years are finally coming to an end, or perhaps, it is something else. Who knows?  Well here it is, the long awaited Baby Steps.

Baby Steps Official Poster

So I got some of the footage back today and so far the entire rushes all look fantastic. I am so jazzed to start editing. I hope that I can get a lot done especially since I have a lot of projects that are due at once. Well it looks like there is about 2 more weeks left of the semester. I better get cracking. Here's a poster to drool over till the film gets finished.
