I want to be a bum when I grow up Part III
I want to be a bum when I grow up Part III
After the band I just worked for the Man. Yes this is what you do. You work make some money, retire and die. Mmmm sounds fun. Well needless to say the desire to write became overwhelming. A script writer encouraged me to check out this medium for expressing my thoughts. I had no idea what I was getting into. I knew what script I wanted to write but decided to educate myself first by writing a sequel to one of my favorite movies. So I wrote Drop City the sequel to Blade runner. I read other scripts while I wrote this and it didn’t take more then 3 pages for me to get hooked. That was about 3 or 4 years ago. I completed Drop city and then started an indie feature that I thought had some promise of being made “Man of Wonder”. This is a story of the apparent death of Eric Stoltz and the reaction of a small town that decides to worship his work. After writing this and laughing several times. I began to understand more and more of the industry and just how hard it is to break in. So I decided to produce 3 shorts on my own. This is where I am today working on my 3rd short and writing my 4th feature. The 4th feature is one I hope to pitch and if it doesn’t make it, well I will make it. I have no delusions that my writing has gotten any better then my first poem, worm, but hey I’m having fun pursuing my dream of become an author or as my parents and grandparents would say, a bum.
