1. Feature film script should be between 95 and 120 pages in length. Never longer. A script over 120 pages needs editing. Never shorter. A script shorter than 90 pages is too short. The perfect length is 100 pages for comedies, 110 for dramas. Cheat your margins if you have to, but better yet write and cut to the correct length. 2. Do NOT use camera directions. Ever. (Note: Historically, writers used to employ camera directions, but the… Continue

I am sure you will agree, the prominent buzz word for the day is "change". We as nation/ children of God are wanting change; in our government, in our school systems, in our communities, in our homes. More often than not, when you hear one comment on the need to change, it is in reference to someone else. We tend to be like those referred to in a parable spoken by Jesus. In Matthew 7: 3, we are cautioned not to be as the one who addressed the mote in the eye of his brethren and not focus on the… Continue

Keeping Joy in Troubling Times Knowing your peace and hope comes from Jesus. What an exciting time we are in today! Many would say that statement is crazy talk however, perhaps their hope is in their home, job or bank account. If there is one thing I have learned in the past few months is those things are not always there, they are not constant and they offer no hope or peace but for a moment. So where are we to find that hope and peace in today? We know the Word tells us that God is the same y… Continue

I sat back this morning reflecting on many dear friends who have this week decided to take their power back from things holding them in bondage. They are experiencing a couple of different emotions as they emerge victorious in taking their life back. Some are feeling strong and confident, while others are scared and weak. Feeling are important to embrace and recognize what impact they are having on you. If you avoid the feeling/emotion side of life you will miss out on so much growth and opportu… Continue

Today I had to close my eyes and take a break from all the turmoil in our economy as of late. What we are all hearing in the news can be troubling and even cause fear. However, we always have a choice as to how we deal with challenging times. Many panic, get depressed and even give up however, some like you and I choose to find options and re-invent ourselves. My new word for this last part of 2008 is Re-Invent, the process of embracing change or challenges and choose to Re-Invent or Re-Create… Continue

This morning as I was doing my devotions I was reading in Haggai 1:1-7. Twice in this was said "Give careful thought to your ways..." As I thought about this it became clear why sometimes we work so hard at something with no results and once we reconsider or reinvent ourselves things change. In our economy today we have to evaluate where we are and in some cases reinvent ourselves. This is the exciting part of life's journey when we get to reinvent our self! So today as you ponder the journey y… Continue

Today as I began the to do list and reviewed recent circumstances which I now choose to call new opportunities I realized I have two choices, I can be a log or a growing tree? As I pondered the two and their impact on the world I realized I choose to be the growing tree however I have log moments. As a log we sit and do nothing except give a place for mold, fungus and bugs to grow and thrive. A log day is an opportunity day, as opportunities happen around me I must choose to stretch my roots an… Continue
