new script in development, 'Hell Weekend' is getting a treatment

I've been really bad with my blog, sometimes, I forget I even have one.  Here are a few updates:

1.  Hell Weekend is in the final stages of completion.  Currently, I am writing a treatment before sending off the script to a prodco.  I'm not good at treatments, which I'll never understand why.  Maybe it's because I don't want to give anything, or too much away?  I don't know, but the one thing I do know is that I'm very excited by the story and the characters. If I get the actors I want, this could really be an amazing slasher.

2.  My third, officially in development screenplay, The Haunting of Willow Falls Manor, is currently being written.  I had barely scratched the surface of the script when I was contacted yesterday by an actress who is already interested in it.  The power of networks.  I can't say who she is, you may have never heard of her either.  I know I haven't.  But her resume is impressive and horror is her specialty.  So, fingers crossed.

3.  I'll be attending Flashback Horror Weekend here in Chicago on Sunday.  I'll be sitting in on director Tim Sullivan's "Slash Course," a presentation on film making and all that it entails. I'm very excited to go to this, as I want to increase my knowledge on how a movie gets made from concept to script to screen and all the little details in between.  I plan to take the next step into directing. 

So there ya have it.  Not much else to say except...keep screaming! :)

Have a great weekend!
