Wrapped the UNCSA production "The Man From Outer Space" this weekend. I worked as 1st AD and set photographer. We had a fantastic team that worked efficiently, maintained focus, and captured some terrific performances.

This afternoon I spent over 4.5 hours talking with a local production company about coming on board as a screenwriter. I toured their offices, discussed some of their previous work I'd seen, talked about where I'm at professionally and where I'd like to see myself going, listened to them pitch a few of their projects and pitched a few of my own, and wrapped things up by watching a couple episodes of Dr. Who with them. Very positive experience and one I hope leads to a personal relationship if not a professional one. Hopefully both. The next step will be sending samples of my work and getting their feedback. I'm confident they'll like what I send them.

It's amazing to watch the energy I've invested in my personal, spiritual, and artistic development gathering momentum. New opportunities present themselves every day; I feel overwhelmed and thankful.
