Wew frackin' hooooow!

I just finished writing the first episode to my science fiction/fantasy epic trilogy called, Kings and Kingdoms [link]

Although i've written TONS of stories and shorts, this is my first feature motion picture screenplay. I've been working on this project for over a year and to be honest, the story itself has changed drastically since its first conception. (which is for the good i think). I started writing the script by a deserted pool in mid October writing here and there and occasionally on airplanes flights or late night or in my room listening to the soothing fountains just outside my balcony. Sometimes I'd come up with ideas in the shower or wake up in the middle of night and write my ideas down. I'd pace. I talk to myself. I erase... I'm writing this hoping for it to sound as real as possible with real human elements without losing it to a strange dialog period piece. Sci fi set to a fantasy world... Is that a period? Hell, I dunno. I'm really digging the story so far and I think it takes a piece of everyone's heart no matter how old or ethnic background you might be. Power, drugs, love, hate, betrayal, complications, hardships, extreme joy, and willing... a bit of comedy. It'll be an intense movie. PG13, pushing R for its violence and creepy ass creature attacks.

Hopefully when i've polished the script enough, I'll start my journey of creating all the visuals, wrap and master the 30 track orchestral score, (which can be found on my site), digitally paint all the Previs scenes to most if not all the major scenes, rough sketch the storyboards to most of the shots, and completely revamp the K&K website to reflect the newly developed story. Most of the characters and stories online now are back stories and the characters have evolved even more. but there's a few that still need to be taken off or revised. I wrote the entire thing on Notebook paper with pens, so I've now got the task of re-typing it into the computer. What a pain in the arse...

Once all these steps are done, I'll pitch it to a few professional writers to finalize the flow of the movie. From there, I'll target my actors. I'll do my best to hunt down the people I want to play the roles of this movie and present them with this 'K&K Package' and have them sign on. I want 2 well known actors and the rest I want to be unknown. Afterall, its on another world. From there, I'll look for my investors. Once that's in place, I"ll take the project to the studios and look to double the price for budget. From there... shit. I'm a GO! At that point, I'm hitting up DA for some of the best digital painters storyboard artists and start the real previs shot by shot. Set the schedule for the entire production, hire the additional crew and various departments. Next I'll sit in on Casting the roles in the film. Once that's all set, i'll coordinate all VFX shots with various animation houses. I want LUMA. but, if there's another animation house capable, i'm all for it. (am I giving too much away?) Direct (if the studios thing I'm capable which by fuckin' god I should be) Shoot the movie. edit, composite it all together, score the soundtrack. (I better anyway)... a few other steps... start a massive world wide marketing campaign... Premiere the film in an undisclosed location of my choosing... opening weekend in December. Prolly December 7th. My biggest birthday gift to the rest of the world.

cross my fingers... you guys goto the theatre. hopefully you dig it.

By then, I will have written the other two episodes and production will have already begun. I would like to shoot the movie and release 1 every 2 years.

Well.. that's my plan and by gawd I’m sticking to it.

On another note, I'm now working with X-Ray Dog Music. [link] in Burbank, CA. They provide trailer music licensing to all the major movies. You've probably heard their work every single time you've visited the theatre. (LOTR, Narnia, War of the Worlds, Pirates2, etc) So..... I'm getting there. One day at a time. Super, super cool dudes.

Films: I'm working a few features and a few shorts. I'll keep ya posted on that.
Art: K&K hard core.
Art2: I'm working on a "Spider Man" series in which I'm placing myself in weird places that are otherwise humanly impossible. Its basically a photo manipulation project. (climbing walls, scaling statues, balancing on rails/high wires.
School: Funct that. I'm done
Social Life: None. However; I'm Still looking for my Future Wife.

On a lame, I'm getting old note... my 10 Year High School reunion is coming up. I think i'll go. There's a select few that I'd like to see again. I'm sure over half of them are still living in my home town. :\

I suppose that's it for now. Its starting to roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
