My stay at the European Film College is coming to an end, and a little over a week ago students could submit scripts for the 15 final projects. 65 scripts were submitted in total, and yesterday the selected scripts were announced, my script was chosen!

THIS IS IT, MY BREAK IS HERE, SCREW YOU, I’M GOING TO HOLLYWOOD, WOOOH… Okay, maybe not, but I’m still very happy. The 15-page script is based on The Veldt, a sci-fi novel from 1950, and I started some early production work today. I’ve gotten most of my crew together, I’ll be 1st Assistant Director, and I’ve found my Director, Production Manager, Editor, Ass. Gaffer and hopefully my Cinematographer and Key Gaffer. It’s going to need a lot of work on set design (and perhaps also visual effects) and finding someone to do sound may be harder than I thought. Anyway, I’m a bit stressed right now, since I’m also writing my application for ‘Den Grafiske Højskole’ in Copenhagen.

Also, six out of the seven students in my writing group at the school had their scripts chosen (including Simon aka. polt, grats!), we’re like totally awesome.
