Hunting Vermin!
Hi Joshua, totally agree on your comment about needing a reel to get PAID options as a director - I've seen people get hired otherwise simply because they avail and are willing, but when you care so deeply for the content of work it's best to be hired on those grounds!

Looking for actresses!
I'm directing a commercial for a hangover cure... looking for a few actresses in the Vegas area. Headshots and resumes if you have.

Whenever the inspiration, story idea, element or component comes to me I pen/pencil it down. I am currently writing 2-3 hours every other day for a project. I use several coffee shops. Quiet or not, doesn't bother me, and I prefer using a notebook with Final draft.
I mostly write wherever I can. Inspiration most often strikes when I'm at work or when I'm in no position to write...I take a lot of notes. On anything. At any time of day or night. I can play with an...

I prep for it. Like Kelta said, I use music to keep me on track. The very first thing I do when starting a new screenplay is I put the score together. As I think about the major scenes in the script,...
