Late August 2025 Update

Hey. Yeah, I don’t really have a review today, so what I should do probably is give you an update on what’s going on with the film project I was working on. The short film. Yeah. Production was shut down back in July on July 8th. We were supposed to film it all in one day. Unfortunately, production had to shut down. So we have now rescheduled for September 11th. So that’s what’s going on, and I have to start thinking about that again. I’ve thinking about the shot list and preparing the actors. Maybe at some point we all have to sit down and I just have to kind of run through those lines again with them. I don’t know. We, we’ll see what happens, how it happens. Probably the day of we will get together and talk about the process. That’s one of the things about doing these things for the first time.

What I’m Reading

06/10/2025 by Debbi

Hi! It’s me. 🙂

Hi everyone. Well, I don’t have a review today, but I just thought I’d let you know that right now we are supposed to get together. I’m supposed to get together with the department heads, the people who handle photography, sound, script supervisor, 1st AD. All these people who I’ll be working with on the film. We’re all supposed to get together and discuss how it’ll work, what they need, all this kind of thing.

 

 

So there’s a lot of stuff to do in pre-production still. Hopefully we’ll be shooting this thing July 8th. I think. Hopefully. We’re still looking for a possible church location. Anyway, having said all that, I’m reading this and very interesting book.

Very interesting. There are certain similarities in our upbringings, but I won’t go into that. There are certain differences, too. So anyway, this is also something I’m reading.

American Sky by James Grady. Very good. So far, I’m enjoying it.

That fell, sorry. Sorry to disappear on you. Yeah, I am really looking forward to reading this one.

I love this author, Katy Brent. Yeah. Yeah. I read another one of hers where this protagonist is murdering guys all over the place and it’s a laugh. And it’s a laugh. People are being murdered. I’m laughing.

Anyway, I’ll just end by saying I read this a while ago, a long while ago, and The Torqued Twerked Man, and I got to say, I think it would make a most interesting movie. It would be different, that’s for sure. It would be different. Anyway, that’s it for me, and I’ll be seeing you. Take care.

I’d tell you what I’m reading on my e-reader too, except that really it’s not as much fun and that would just be like reading from a list and, meh, what’s the point, right? I can’t even show off the book to you. Oh, well, whatever. See you.

PS: Watch out for spelling and misunderstandings when using AI transcription. Hmm?

Before You Jump Into the Screenwriting Trade

Just a quick note to say that I have no idea why I picked this image. I just thought it was funny!

Hi. I spent a lot of this weekend reading this. I don’t know if you can see that, but this is the screenplay to Glass Onion adapted screenplay written by Rian Johnson.

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
