So I've been trying to think of a new story idea but nothing has been coming to me recently and I believe it's because of school.
School is almost over, and again, I'm not sure whether to be excited or stressed. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for this semester to be over with, but the short amount of time doesn't seem like enough with all of the things I still have to do in my classes. I love how big projects and finals all happen at the exact same time. It's like a massive education conspiracy designed to make me explode.
It's working.
Up until now, I have enjoyed making movies because it is fun. I have found, however, that I find the greatest feelings of fulfillment and satisfaction from the stories which have meaning. I like a story that makes you think. It makes you reconsider. It makes you change perspectives. Those are the stories I want to tell, not just strange short films that make you laugh.
So I have a few ideas actually. I've been playing around with them, and trying to figure out the best 3-5 minute short we can work on. It's been difficult, but I think the key to all of it is going to be the talent we use. We want to try using trained actors or student actors instead of ourselves. I'm sure that will make our films more entertaining. And again, I want to make more stories with real messages.
Okay bye.
