A lot has happened since my last post, the one about Ruminations on Time. Something must have clicked, because I’ve been in high gear pretty much ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In late February, I decided to make a movie, so I sat down and hammered out the first draft of a script that became Demon for Hire,<\/em> a horror-comedy short about a fuzzy blue demon — a puppet — who helps mortals with their problems while he corrupts them to the Dark Side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m making my first short film, a horror-comedy called Demon for Hire. <\/em>Rather than tell you about the project itself, I’ll point you the attached link for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I want to tell you about here is what I’ve been up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When I was in seventh grade, my home town’s auditorium burned to the ground, the only building with a stage. So I was in a couple of gradeschool theater productions, but nothing in high school, because the town council was too cheap and shortsighted to rebuild the building with a stage. Stage theater didn’t exist where I was from, so I’ve never really been around “The Theater” (imagine a British accent here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So now that I’ve jumped into filmmaking with both feet, I’m neck deep in theater people. Writers are different from theater people. Like that old Garrison Keillor joke, the extraverted writers look at the other person’s shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I digress. For the last few weeks, I’ve been setting up everything that necessary for this film venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
