By Attacking These Things- I'll Earn My Rings

| | Comments (0)

Hello reader, how was your day?

I haven't had my day yet, it's only 8:53 AM. I don't expect much, I just hope it's good.

You want to know what I think about all day? Movies. Motion Pictures. Film. I mainly think about independent films. And actors. The actors that I like and love, the ones that I want to have in my movies one day. Here are some: Michelle Rodriguez, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Scarlett Johansson, James Franco, Chris Evans, Evan Rachel Wood, and Chase Crawford; those are just some. The people in the previous sentence are inspirations, that are help molding what I want to be in life. One day, or days, if I ever get to meet them I'll let them know that. The very first person I want to meet is Michelle Rodriguez. Why? Because she's the best! She started it all, really. It all started during Christmas break of 2005, I was watching the Lifetime network and I cam across a movie called "Girlfight". The title was vaguely familiar, so I I started watching the movie. I loved it. And the end, I pressed the information button on my remote and found out her name, it read "Michelle Rodriguez", I said to myself "Michelle Rodriguez? I've heard her name somewhere before." And then it all came to me, I was naming all of her movies out loud to myself, and I never realized how much I watched movies until I start thinking of all the movies I seen.

Slowly but surely I ended buying all of her movies, an being a member on her fan forum. I am a fan indeed.
My family and friends always ask me, "Why do you like her so much?", and I never know what to say. I like her because she's a good actress and she inspired my filming aspirations. I just told you that. I think it's hard to tell people that because even though they ask, I can see in their face that they truly don't care. But that's what I have her fan forum for. I know they care.

The directors I look up to are: Michael Bay, Lee Daniels, Catherine Hardwicke and Karyn
Kusama. Michael Bay directed "Transformers" and "The Island". Michael Bay is just greatness. As for the rest: Lee Daniels, Catherine Hardwicke, and Karyn Kusama are independent directors. I want to work in the independent field. Usually, independent directors get creative differences. Creative differences means that they can write their own stories and add or take away from it, and they can still be supported big budget companies. Like "Juno" or "Lords of Dogtown" But directors that work with big budgets, like Michael Bay, have to stick to the script and he usually directs what someone else writes. Their movies come in al different shapes and sizes and I admire all of them truly.

Currently I'm working on projects. I'm working on something called "Seventeen", which is a story that takes place in one week and these 5 seventeen-year-olds as well as some of their parents, are all affected by this "six degrees of separation" type thing. I'd give you spoilers but my story/screenplay is rough. And what I mean by rough is: it's barely written. I love movies and everything about them, from the music score, which is the music that occasionally plays during the film. And I love choosing the actors. I also love the whole process, "Lights! Camera! Action!... Cut!" The whole thing. I love it. Look forward to seeing "Seventeen".
