Labor Day weekend was slightly more special for me this year. Not only did I get an extra day off (in commemoration for the workers unions and fair labor acts, not expectant mothers as many falsely think), I also got the opportunity to see my screenplay, “Haggling,” come to life on the big screen! It…
I found out just a few weeks ago that my short film script, “Haggling,“ was produced by the Film Department at Full Sail University. It was chosen for the final class project, so it was produced on 35mm and involved a budget, real actors, and a full crew. I was thrilled to learn that the…
Now that I work as a writer (well, part time, at least), I realize that I take far less time each week to work on my creative pursuits. I’m spending anywhere from an hour to three hours per day writing web content, health and tech articles, and social media blurbs for The Daily Buzz, but…

I’ve spent the last two nights staying up until 2am. Not by choice, but that’s not to say I haven’t enjoyed the project. I’ve spent the last two evenings editing the footage from my documentary and putting it together with still photos, slides, music, and narration to hopefully create a usable short film. I’ve learned…
*GULP* Tomorrow, I will begin filming for the short documentary I proposed for my Publishing and Distribution class. In case you haven’t been following my blog for the last few weeks, I’ve basically committed to creating a very short [3-5 minute] documentary reflecting on my life as a yo-yo dieter and borderline OCD-calorie counter. My…
I started a new class on Monday entitled, “Publishing and Distribution.” As you can imagine, it’s all about… [wait for it]… publishing and distribution! Who knew? In this evening’s lecture, my professor expounded on the final project that we’re going to be working on throughout the class and delivery at the end: the creation of…
