Writing the feature is becoming quite time consuming and difficult. So this Blog is supposed to keep me writing - (PRESSURE.) Of course, I can't just sit all day and write. Can I? Therefore I'll post everything from motivation to procrastination as well. (Like this!) So here it is! Enjoy, and feel free to comment on my way to write "Broken Wings."Philipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08168192117764372242noreply@blogger.comBlogger111100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464344293878212984.post-9087170745786689742007-05-23T18:56:00.000-07:002007-05-23T18:59:44.611-07:00

I realize, that I haven't been posting about my script for, what seem like an eternity. However, I've got two very good reasons for that:1) I had two weeks of total writer's block (which my teacher used to say is an excuse for laziness...) and was too ashamed to write about not writing.2) After my Two-Writer-Block-Weeks inspiration returned to me and I've been writing like crazy ever since. So

Markus says this is me:I beg to differ, but still thought it was funny. :-)

Why are people out to distract me from writing? Do they not want me to finish this screenplay? Is it a conspiracy? What's in it for them?Just when things were going quite well (I just hit page 100), this girl (picture attached), on a nearby computer in the library, suddenly decides to entertain me to no end, therefore taking attention away from the script.As often usual, my eyes wander around the

Yes, this is still a blog about me writing a screenplay. And even though I get distracted quite easily I'm happy, that after a few months of hard work, I finally hit page 100! Only 30-50 pages to go until I've got myself a first draft.So, let's light up a few candles and happy Page 100 to me!!! :-)

So, I'm the kind of guy, who always had to play tech support for his family members, friends, friend's of his friends, and their related friends, for as far as I can think back. That's probably because I've always been very interested in technology and computers. Pretty much anything that you can plug into an outlet, or operate on battery power.As a matter of fact, this has actually become my #1

Here's one question I've been asked a lot* since I started this blog: "Where do you write? Where does your creativity flow?" Good Question, I say. And since I'm all about public service, let's go take a look at my top four, chic, writing spots.1. The Oviatt LibraryThe Oviatt Library is great. It's usually quiet, and peaceful, besides some rude exceptions. (STOP clicking that pen, TALL GUY, 22,

I feel a little bit pathetic right now, but I'm really sad. I'm writing a sad scene right now, while listening to a very touching soundtrack. (Life is beautiful) Funny how that can affect you so much...

So, this really is an amazing Album to write with. I stumbled across it on *cough*myspace*cough* the other day and can't get it out of my head.The Album is called "Rodrigo y Gabriela and it's truly an utter and complete joy to listen to. The upbeat guitar music really gets your creativity flowing. Mine at least.Here's the iTunes link if you're interested.Well, I better head out and start writing

This just in live from the treadmill: I'm a lazy bump. Talked on the phone for an hour instead of writing the script. Shame on me...

Research in the library, reading books, hours at a time; it's all good and dandy. However, nothing can compare to the real thing. Therefore, this winter, I decided to grab a few friends (thank you Maria and Tobi) and made a trip to the Bauhaus in Dessau. It has recently been restored to the way it looked in the 20's and early 30's.To me it was quite special to visit the Bauhaus, since this

The idea to make a film about the Bauhaus School of Art & Architecture was introduced to me in 2005 by my good friend and schoolmate Evan Schrodek. We wanted to submit this project as our Thesis film at California State University Northridge. At that time, however, we were barely discussing the idea. It would be crazy to try and pull of a Period Piece on a student budget. Wouldn't it?Well…,to
