The Truth Will Set You Free

So I told my parents tonight that I am planning on moving sometime soon and they took it pretty well. There are a lot of details to work out but they are being supportive which is all I can ask for. This is very good news because I was most worried about telling them. 

I think they are more happy about the change in location away from LA because it is so overwhelming. I also think they finally see that this is something that I really want to do and they are being supportive of that.

I'm really getting back into taking pictures. It's making me explore areas around here that I have never been before. Thank you mom and dad for the TomTom they bought me for Christmas or I would still be lost in the middle of no where. It's nice to be able to explore my creative side in a different way other than sitting behind my keyboard. 

My next project will be videos, as soon as I get my camcorder fixed again. Maybe I can get a new one for my birthday in a couple months. That would be helpful in testing so things out for my movie.

Overall it's been a very positive day. Since I decided to move my life has a focus again which is a good thing. I have a goal in mind and I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen.

Decision, Decision

I'm ready for a change. I'm ready for a move. But I feel like there are certain things that need to happen before I can do this.

I have decided that I want to move to Wilmington, NC. That is where I'm going. LA is just to much and Wilmington is a lot cheaper. I know that moving there will be a small step up from here and until I get through with school I think that giant leaps are out of the question. So Wilmington it is. 

Before I can move there are somethings that have to (or I want to) be taken care of. I need to have saved up some money, I need to have at least the prospect of a job, and I need a place to live.

I have a plan in place to save as much money as possible over the next several months and am looking into getting a second job to help. I have looked for places online and have contacted a couple about availability and price. I have even looked into jobs.

I don't want to screw myself over here but I really want to move. I want to get out on my own and make this dream happen. 

I have made my decision to move now it becomes a question of when and how.

New Pictures from Today

These are just a few. The rest are on my flickr account. 

Freshman Year

That is the title (as of now) of my screenplay. The more I think about it and the more time I spend on the Southern Gothic page I've decided that I am going to get this movie made one way or another. I'm going to try the traditional send it off and see if anything comes of it but if that doesn't work I'm going to make it myself. I love this story to much to let it die away. One way or another I will see this movie come to life.

I am still in the process of editing and it is a pain in the butt. I am actually sick of reading some of the scenes because I have read them at least 200 times. 

I wanted to introduce you to the main character from the movie. 

Alexis is an 18 year recent high graduate who has seen her whole life fall apart in a matter of minutes. Her boyfriend left her for her best friend. She is moving away from home for the first time to go to college. She knows no one at school and to top it all off on the day of her high school graduation she found out she was pregnant. Now she's 18, single, pregnant and scared to death.

Keep reading for more about the characters and story.
