Hey everyone, I've decided to start blogging my film experiences from the films I watch to the current headache of writing one of my own. To all those who bother reading and commenting I thank you in advance.
Today I listened through my first few /Film (SlashFilm) Podcasts. I heard Michael Dougherty talk about Trick 'r Treat (brilliant by the way) and how he was able to direct the first script he wrote after having his X-2 and Superman Returns films do ridiculously well in the box-office (neither of which I'm a fan of mind you). After being asked how he was lucky enough to meet Bryan Singer and be given the chance to take his own shot at the helm, he told /Film that "(he) knew him through friends". Well that's great for him but what about the rest of us "aspiring filmmakers"!? (That term makes me cringe). Perhaps if I studied film I would eventually be lucky enough to bump into someone who knows someone who may know someone... I'm starting to think I have more chance of being hit with a stray bullet in East St. Kilda.
Luckily it hasn't dampened my ambition. And hopefully this blog will not only serve as a springboard for ideas but give me more reason to write in general. I may have found my calling =P
Mmm...
