Santa Fe here I come!!

So, its only a few weeks away until I will be in Santa Fe, New Mexico! Why you ask? Partly for the green chili, but mostly for the Santa Fe Screenwriters Conference. See I won this scholarship thingy back in the day after writing my short "Catch Me" (awesome by the way, the character bios are even better.), which pays for my week there. Its pretty cool, I get to work with a screenwriter who has actually sold something, you heard right, someone who has actually made money!! WOW! Its like a mentor program basically, working with him on my scripts and writing skills. Its pretty awesome. But honestly that's not the best part.

At the end of the week I get to meet with real Hollywood producers! Holy shit right? I get to pitch my scripts to people who have money, and could give me money, and I like money! Is it nerve wreaking that this might be my shot at fame, stardom, and hookers; absolutely. Am I terrified that I will fail horribly, and therefor fail at the rest of my life; again, absolutely. But I'm pretty sure I will get so pumped up that I will end up blacking out and not remember anything that happens. Plus even if the pitches go south, I still get to party with the producers that night, so at least alcohol will help with my pain.

I'm pretty happy with the three scripts I am bringing with me. The first is a straight up teen sex comedy, "Moviehouse." Its a lot like the movie "Empire Records" only in a movie theater. I love good coming of age movies, and I really feel in touch with this movie, yes there are a lot of evil dead, jurassic park, and star wars references. The second is a horror comedy about vampires called "Bite Me." Here's the logline for that.

A man reunites with his undead high school sweetheart years after ditching her
with a gang of vampires.

I know pretty awesome right? Its pretty dark, and it came to me in a very lucid dream after new years this year. Hang overs are awesome! The third movie is the one I'm most proud of. Its called "By Day's End." Its a syfy channel ripoff of the third pirates movie. But really its a character drama about death, acceptance, and finally living. Pretty deep stuff, but I love the characters in it and I'm totally excited.

So yeah I'm going to get pretty drunk, going to eat a lot of mexican, and hopefully not make a jackass out of myself. If nothing else, i hopefully will get some phone numbers and make some friends.
