Since moving to our new place in April we have made it our home, with purchasing our new washing machine/fridge etc, some basic furniture and I have also finally got a gym set up in the garage! I'll share pictures of my workout space next post. All in all it's been a pretty busy move out/in process, had no idea going in how much it would cost and the time it would involve packing and unpacking, organizing and cleaning and re cleaning and whoa! Just happy it's done. Can finally live!
Trying to settle into writing the Fight me script, I have to do something, I feel my dream slipping from my fingertips. I'm 27, I haven't trained seriously in a year and in trying to do this I was getting feedback from potential actors who weren't feeling it. So shit. Maybe I'm being too ambitious. So I went to work on 'The Bullet list' instead. (posted below in this blog in May).
But then the world cup happened. Those who know me know I love football, so I've sort of had to take the month off working on my webseries to bet and watch some classic football matches, Brazil, Netherlands, Germany and Belgium still in it to win so going good, its been a great entertaining tournament so far :)
But it's back to work, real work, not that 8-6 thing I do at the bank, but the make it happen from the ground up thing I decided do 4-5 years ago. I have all 6 scripts finsihed, and I'm in the middle of finalising them now before I can schedule them and start casting/crewing up and finding the locations to shoot them in. I have heaps of leave so might take a couple weeks off to do this? Otherwise juggle it on my days off? Depends on the cast I end up with.
My friend Chris works with me now, wish is awesome, you may recall seeing him appear in JKD1 and JKD2 , anyway, he has been over to Aus recently with Sifu for some JKD training and he's taught me some lockflow techniques, so good news for watchers of our stuff, it won't just be all striking this time round, also I hope to make the show have some fights in each episode and with us playing actual characters I've created for this show they should be more enteratining with things on the line. High stakes :)
Was shopping with the wife today and finally saw the jacket I was looking for, My character Mark Maxwell needs something to make his character, I saw a gold jacket and a slim black jacket, I think gold will be great but is it too out there? I'm thinking it compliments the charcter since he is a 'talk out loud' sort of guy but we'll see, will do a promo shot next post for you to judge.
Anyway, will try finalise another script, have work tomorrow morning (yay *sarcasm*) so better be fresh for that, after all, it's what funds our lifestyles and allows me to chase my dream no matter how wispy it seems these days, we have to make our own motivation!!! :)
