Trying hard to make some progress on our nascent screenplay. It's been a bit rough, especially since I haven't ever read anything about screenplays, and don't actually, like movies all that much! But we're about 109 pages into it and our story is starting to take shape (sure as hell better, I'd say.) Have found some totally great screenplay url's. Amusingly enough, one is from a guy who used to be called "new wave dave" about 15 years ago up at ... oh, lucasfilm? maybe? somewhere like that. He got his MA at Stanford in fonts, I think? A very interesting fellow. Used to throw big parties in the late late 90's, charge admission, and then make them into happenings. Too bad that there aren't more people like Dave in the silicon valley, to be perfectly honest. Individualistic, intelligent, with a lovely sense of style (not kidding), and a love of using tech. Heeeey, that's what the silicon gulch SHOULD be. Not just a bunch of non-aesthetic, compartmentalized, hard-working but marginalized working people. (well, except for Steeeve and Laaaaary, both of whom are a bit textbook in their aesthetics for my taste) BORING. Look at the architecture in the silicon valley. Ick. Oh well. I'll post some screenwriting url's one of these days.
