Well after working most of this evening I’ve completed the first incarnation of Dodging Bullets. It weighs in at a little over 20 pages. I sent it off to my co-worker Adam to see what he thinks. The story is about Steve and his misadventures of trying to find two runaway juveniles a place to live. Steve is your average IT professional who has a not so average week. All Steve really wants in life is some peace and quiet. But it’s kind of hard because his roommate Laura is a party girl with a total disregard for Steve’s tranquility. While trying to find the teenagers a place to live Steve encounters, ex-girlfriends, annoying co-workers, Nazis and a kidnapping.

Lately I’ve been trying to come up with some ideas for a short that I want to submit to SAL Film Festival. My original ideas was to do a modern fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood. I came up with a good idea, but I’m having issues flushing out the story. The last thing I want is it to turn into a cheesy and lame horror adaptation. Earlier this week I was telling a few of my co-workers this funny story about this encounter I was with Nazi skinheads when I as in college. Adam was like, you should do a short about that. Though most of the events are based around what happened, it’s going to be totally fictionalized version of these events. It’s been years and I really don’t recall everything that went down. But what I do remember about what happened was pretty damn funny. Though it wasn’t funny at the time. So far in the pasted few days I’ve manage to hammer out 14 pages of the script and I should have version 1.0 finished by tonight.
