My draft complete.

As mentioned previously, I'm slated to be directing a short film in the coming months. Well I'm glad to announce that I've finished and turned in my completed draft of the screenplay. Once approved by Sundi Lofty, the woman who wrote the original stage play, we will be in high-gear for pre-production.

I'm really happy with the way it turned out. For the past few years I've had a hard time getting myself to put pen to paper and just sit down and do a screenplay (mind you I have ideas out the yin yang, and fully outlined stories for days). Only God knows how many books I've read on screen writing in an effort to "prep", for all that time to actually be my procrastinating due to fear.

It wasn't until last night that I realized this was the first full screenplay that I ever wrote. the satisfaction of being able to say that I've completed a screenplay puts me on a cloud higher than 9.

God worked it out though, and I think the story of Amora will pull on the heartstrings of many. Keep checking out the blog for updates!
