Screenwriting : Did it take me four hours or three weeks? by Robert Rosenbaum

Did it take me four hours or three weeks?

I just finished a new script for a short film. It took me about four hours to write it down, after three weeks of writing it in my head. Fits the under ten-minute drama category. It was written with the restriction that I have immediate access to all the locations and set pieces I need to shoot the film. I'm already in pre-production in my mind!

Hey brother, whatever happened to your bunker in Brooklyn feature movie? Did you shoot?

Robert Rosenbaum

Dan MaxXx After editing the script for film and speaking with a bunch of other professionals I realized I did not have the funds to do this properly at this time. BASEMENT is too good a piece to try and rush (a feature) into a four day shoot. I am working on the developing it and hope to shoot next year. In the meantime, I wrote this SHORT film, which I can shoot in three days, with only three actors, and I wrote the story around assets I have access to!

....I guess that explains why us crafty schleps aren't getting lunch! Where's Dan MaxXx's lawyer when I need him?

UPDATE: I am NOW in pre-production irl! I have two producing partners who will also play the leads and I will be directing. If all goes well we will be shooting in November.
