Me, now and everything

INT. HOUSE-DAY

Michael
So I've been writing a screenplay recently
and it's a weird ordeal. While it's kind of
interesting to write out a story specifically
for film you can't however write about anything
and all the rules! I think I've already broken
aboutfive for not properly indenting. So anyway the
awards ceremony was fun, got three gold keys,
played my video which everyone seemed to enjoy,
went to a blazers game, got whole wheat pancakes
and got most of my homework done. A good weekend
I would say. So now that I'm almost done with the
screenplay (or I think I am we'll see after today)
I'll get started on the storyboard. It's bigger than I
expected and I think it will be over five pages but
I'll just count that as "growth" as an artist.

Gold Key Ceremony

So the ceremony is this wednesday at the Newmark. Now this is what I know:

1. I will be going last

2. I am going to be introduced

3. I will introduce my film to the audience then while they watch it I will sit in the darkness for three and a half minutes and wait...


Now I haven't been there for about three years. The last time I was for the Platform International Animation Festival and that was really fun (Adult Swim was there and they had Robert Osborne introduce their new show teasers, a joke I didn't get until about a year ago). During my say there I was on the ground floor of the theater. My eyes were always fixed on the the stage so I never really looked up. I just looked at some pictures online of the main theater and I never realized the scope of the room-




A full house would be something.

I'm not clever enough to think up a witty conclusion to this, so this is where this ends.
