Weekend, etc.

What a nice weekend :) Jared and I spend long hours together just cuddling and watching movies and talking. Jared, his roommate Jack, and I are going to start working on making a short horror film for fun. Jack has a degree in telecommunications and works as a videographer and editor for a Syracuse news station, so together with Jared we have a decent knowledge of how a film should be made. It should be an adventure, either way!

Tonight, I have an interview at Buffalo Womenservices! Woo hoo! I'm really hoping I get this job. It only pays $9/hr, and they can't guarantee I'd get FT hours every week, which means there are probably no benefits, but I don't care! I'll be covered under Jared's insurance when we're hitched, and in the mean time I'll just save a little from each paycheck for health stuff just in case. Also, who am I kidding? If I needed money for medical bills my parents would spot me until I could pay them back. How fortunate I am to come from a family that is so generous. ;-;

In other news, I'm thinking of revising Midnight Estates to make it an adult paranormal romance. I may publish it under a pen name. I have a series idea- Realty Romance, lol. Midnight Estates, Shady Acres, and Whispering Woods, all of which are actual housing developments I've seen and thought- "damn, those sound like horror story titles!" Maybe they can all be like some kind of desperate housewives-meets-paranormal-romance thing. I dunno.

Happy Monday!

If you want a costume designer/make up artist, I am willing to work for deferred pay (meaning we agree to a number that I would get paid if the short film/concept is ever sold, plus if you are in a position to still be writing/directing if it is picked up as a feature, you'll try to keep me on.) :-) Pete would probably be willing to help out too.

That would be awesome. And since Jared and I will be here, and Jack is in Auburn, you guys would be smack in the middle! I don't know if it would ever really stand a chance to be sold though, I've gotta admit. Our concept right now is "The Tongue"- a huge disembodied tongue that licks/smothers/dissolves people to death...

Hey, you never know... it may become a HUGE cult classic. ;-) And it's not the money, it's the value placed on the people working for a film. So you should definitely get waivers for your actors as well. Just in case.
