After working on my feature last night I finally settled on a suitable title, “The Double Cross”. Over the course of this week, a lot of my base ideas for the story has changed. I’ve decided to make Ruth, Gabe’s ex-wife (was ex-girlfriend) a more likable and sympathetic character rather than a gold digging bitch. I also added in the antagonists Boris and Hannah, a pair of German goth hitmen. I’m also cutting out the importance of the lottery ticket. It’s still there, but Gabe is not the lucky winner. Instead he gets his money the old fashioned way, by stealing it from his scumbag of a boss. I’ve also added the uses of guns, which I was initially avoiding. Though the role they play is very minimal when it comes to Gabe. The story is still about Gabe getting the crap kicked out of him, scoring big and doing a lot of ass kicking himself. In the end Gabe will end up on top, for the most part. I want to have a rough draft compete by the end of July so I can begin figuring out how I’m going to do some fund raising. I want to raise around 10k to put into equipment and props.

Not a whole lot has been going on lately. JGB is near completion. Gus is working on the score and there are a few tweaks that need to be made in editing. Everything should be finished by early next week.
In other news, I’ve started back on my screenplay after take a break for several weeks. Things are coming along slowly but surely. I’ve been thinking about ways of doing some fund raising. One of the ideas I came up with is to have a bikini car wash. However, I would like to have the script near completion before doing that. If anyone has any ideas by all means throw them at me.

Last night we finished filming of Episode 1. Despite some of the annoyance, I think things are coming together. However, ‘m glad this is finished so I can pursue other projects. Hopefully there will be more episodes to come.
