In over my head

Okay, as if I don't have enough to do, what with the big Harry Potter push at work as well as getting ready for Sean and Curtis' next feature film (which starts shooting in less than two weeks!), I have thrown my hat in the ring for Script Frenzy*. I am going to try to write a feature-length screenplay during the month of June. I am not going to let the fact that I have never written a screenplay in my life stop me, nor will I be deterred by my almost complete lack of ideas for a viable story. (I am toying with a notion I've had for several years, one that involves werewolves and Colonial America, only now I'm thinking Appalachia during the early 1900s.)

Last night Norman and I shook hands on an agreement to give it a whirl. Actually, I think Norman was under the impression I was simply giving him a hand up from his chair, but believe me, we shook on it and we're each going to write a screenplay next month.

* Even if you have no interest in Script Frenzy per se, be sure to check out their Plot Machine -- it's a hoot.

Oooh, Appalachia is definately the more creepy of the two. Sounds cool. Good luck!!!
