after weeks of total writers/filmmakers block i finally came up with the concept for my ten minute short film the night before it was due. i talked it over with china girl who was huge help in coming up with some locations where i could shoot and film ending, not to mention keeping me company over msn well into the early hours of the morning when i was still writing.

it is phenomenally difficult to come up with any kind of half decent story that can take place in under ten minutes. i ended up deciding on a kind of mini-adventure that takes place when a guy and girl meet after missing the same train. they end up doing a bunch of crazy and silly things around town for a couple of hours while waiting for the next train. the mini-daventrue will be shown in a montage form to condense the time.

anyway, there was also a lot of question within the aplication about my film influences and why my short film should be made so it ended up taking me until 8.15am to finish. thank god for red bull!!! i printed it out and handed it to miss sweet sixteen with a map of uni so she could hand it in for me (absolute darling sister that she is caught a bus into town for me to drop it off), jumped into the shower for 2mins and rushed to work in time for opening the cafe at 8.30am. talk about cutting it fine. i worked till about 6.30pm when i finally got to go home and collapse in bed. so glad its over! now i just have to wait for a couple of weeks to find out if im one of the 15 people chosen for the course. fingers crossed!!!
