Post #100: I'm Making a Movie

The creative career co-op at Sage is all about setting ambitious goals that you can be passionate about. While my search for an agent is important - it's just not that shiny a goal.

My goal for the next 8 weeks:·

It is April 17, 2008 and I have just finished mailing the last copy of my broadcast quality short film to my actors. I am extremely proud of how the film turned out and I’m excited to submit it to festivals, I know that it will be accepted and win.

In all honesty it's a daunting goal. I've never participated in a broadcast quality project, let alone produced one. However, I need to get some work on film that I can feel proud to include in my reel.

Just discussing this project with friends and colleagues has already created a lot of energy. I'm hoping that energy will translate into a quality project.

Potential complication: budget = $0.

PS: Does anyone have a great short film script laying around that's begging to be produced? Ideally with a lead-ish role for me. Barring that: any interesting stories that would make good short subjects?
