So February flew by…

The plan is a monthly update here. So that’s going well.

I’ll have a scene I directed up on this site this month. It’s done; I just haven’t uploaded it and created the page yet.

I’m done with the director’s cut of my webisode from the web series I worked on with my directing group GRIT. There’s a lot of work still to be done on the series, so personally, I’m hoping it’s up on the web this summer.

There’s one more night of the Film Independent Directors Series left. This year has been great! I definitely picked up some practical directing tips, especially from the session on casting. That said, attending the series seriously stresses out my schedule, so I am *really* glad that this week is the last week.

I committed to working on my feature film book adaptation every Tuesday in March.

The deal fell apart for three spec webisodes I was supposed to direct end of March. I was quite bummed because I’d enjoyed working with the writer/actors and become rather attached to the material and excited about my shot design… but at the same time I learned a ton from the process for as far as it got, and I felt like, well, this is going to happen about a million more times during my career, so here’s what it feels like on a small scale.

Learning. Directors are directors (for many reasons but also) because they are addicted to constant challenge and learning. So there was plenty of that, which was good.

The producers I was working with on that project immediately set a different project with a different writer into motion, and I’m planning to direct three spec webisodes for that, hopefully in May. I am really looking forward to that!!!

Finally, I have multiple writers getting me webisode ideas which I will pitch to my producer friend in the hopes of directing (or split directing with one other director) a full web series by the end of the year. There’s a real chance that I could direct a web series this year. Whew!
