WhY? Because I got this new project a-brewin'...
I had this movie idea freshman year that I was hella stoked about. Worked on it for a while, wrote treatments, an entire script breakdown, and maybe even some pages of dialogue. I've since abandoned it. Grew out of the story--or maybe it was my macbook crashing that initiated the loss of interest. Suffice it to say, Michelle, My Belle will never be made into a feature film, at least by me. So rest easy, I will not ruin your favorite Beatles song.
Anyway, during that otherwise miserable time in my life, one of my favorite things to do in the dorms was put on my fatty headphones, ignore Dominique, start up Sutek's Tomb on Neopets, and listen to a special playlist of songs I was compiling for this movie. I had specific songs for specific scenes, including (obviously) the title track, Elliott's Coast to Coast, Stan Getz's The Girl from Ipanema, and Dave Brubeck's Take Five.
It gave me such pleasure to rearrange the songs according to how I thought they should be listed on the soundtrack. I listened to that playlist to death. In retrospect, nothing really came out of it.... but I do remember having a ball.
And now I think I'm ready to start working again.
Haven't delved into the deets, but I know where I want to go. This idea's been percolating in my dome since last summer, and I'm finna get back on my griind!!!
To assist me in the procces, I'm gonna need a little inspiration from Greek mythology, Sophocles, the Locarno Film Festival, and maybe a thing or two from my life.
Oh, and this bix.
Summer, I won't let you down (if you can return the favor).
