A couple of months ago, I started attending acting workshops with my 12 year old daughter. She was in a short film in 2023, but we’ve had a hard time getting her into more. She immediately got a role in a play. The theater we are attending is where my short films used to screen back in 2005-2007, so I know the owner. After the acting workshops, there is a seed program for creatives where you pitch a project for the group to help you out on. I started attending this as well, and joined in on another playwright’s project for surreal political shorts. I wrote one last night for the group. It has a table read tomorrow, a group rehearsal on Sunday and we’re going live with it April 1. I’ve kept my toes in film on and off for years, mostly acting in small roles for friends or holding the boom mic or something, but this will be the first project I had creative input since around 2010. I pitch my own short film in 2 weeks. It’s a short about people that sell their suicides to the highest bidder. I wrote it as a silent film and I’m going to have a pianist I know create the music and play it live in the style of old silent films back in the day prior to recorded sound. Should make it more of an interactive event. Im very excited about all of this. I haven’t felt this happy in years
