Me? I'm starting a Media studies and business studies course this September, so I've had to give up my Job.

I'm going to the media studies college near where I live in september and Already enrolled I have been placed in a rather large class for that and the business studies also. :D

I figured if your going to be a writer and hopefully a director you should no business studies. On this course which brinsg me to my point, I don't know about the rest of you in america and so on but I'll be given the chance to direct and write for my exams within the course and also be able to cover Radio, Stage, Magazines and newspapers.

What about you lot? what are you guys doing??

Right now, I'm typing on a computer in my bedroom, replying to a post I saw on this one website about screenwriting. It has something to do with what I'm doing and so now I'm just kind of getting lost in typing aimlessly in order to formulate a reply and such.

I do pretty much from same thing from my job at a call center.

Right now, I am not doing anything really spectacular.  Soon, though, I have to get a full time job that will last for three months.  In January, I must quit the job and move out to Pittsburgh (a six hour drive from where I am right now) where I will be attending a film school called Point Park.  From there, it's wherever the road leads...

Good luck to you then AmericanSyco.

I'm in the midst of deciding to leave my I.T. job and head to film school for a year. I'm prepping re-writes on my optioned script, finishing the latest draft of my next project and in talks to head down to LA for a weekend to do some business...

Apart from that, sitting home sick from work and catching up with you guys!

Wow, Heretic, that's excellent news to hear. Good luck on finding a university, btw, which ones are you looking into?

Hmmm, right now, I'm balancing getting a job, high school, directing a short film, and preparing and co-writing a feature length film to film next summer. Yeah, I'm quite busy.

I'm moving to San Francisco in a week to further my education at San Francisco State. Once I am there I will become a pimp and start manufacturing drugs....oh, really, no.

I will though be balancing my days like this;

6:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Work at the courthouse.
1:00 PM - 4:30 PM: I have three classes.
5:00 PM - 10:00 PM: I am back at work.

So, that basically means I will have no life.

I'm working a boring repetitive midnight shift at a plant that pays 9 bucks an hour to buy a camera so I can make a web series, that's the dream. I have high hopes that it could be a success and to ensure that it doesn't fail I'll probably even enlist others to write episodes for me because I know greatness cannot be achieved on your own especially if you want comedy to work.

Heading to orientation at SAIT on Thursday, starting a lax week next Monday, then the week after we dive right in and go for it. I've been busy getting everything sorted out which is why I've been absent as of late.

[Statement recalled.]

Why don't you work a meaningless job like I do Alan? The pay is good in the factories andin terms of trying to get yourself out there any money can help.

I had a meaningless job for more than a year; it was at a callcenter.  Before that, i had a meaningless job at Wendy's for more than three months.  Before that, I had a meaningless job at Subway.  Before that, school was meaningless.  The more time I spend at those places, the more doesn't get done on the projects that have potential to get me and people close to me out of situations where we have to deal with those types of places.  I should spend less time on these discussion boards, and more time shortening my big list of things TO DO.  When that list is empty, I'll consider returning to a meaningless job.

How do to pay to live? I do think that having this job I do has really rendered the writing back from anytime to no time, I haven't written a new scene for my series in a few days but yesterday I took a piece of paper with my because you never know when you'll think of a great scene and low and behold I came home with 3 great scenes.

I'll do it again tonight in hopes of thinking of more scenes for the final 2 and also make some money so I can hopefully start the thing that helps get the film  ;) ;) made ha-ha

Good luck.

Aspiring film-maker, with dreams of becoming one of the best movie directors EVER. Either that, or just write my scripts like I usually do until I get the chance to pitch it or whatever. Currently ATTEMPTING to film a 3-part movie (three stories in one ala Sin City or Pulp Fiction) but my lousy "friends" never keep their word. They say they're going to do this with me and they're with me all the way -- yet, the film's not even shot once and I am still here wanting to make my movie. Liars... I even got a date for shooting, and they said they'd do it but never showed up. Never even called me to tell me they wouldn't show up. What I need to do? Be patient, for I might make new friends who have the same goal/desire as I do. Hmm....

Also, wondering if I should go to film school...

Quoted from Old Time Wesley I do think that having this job I do has really rendered the writing back from anytime to no time, I haven't written a new scene for my series in a few days but yesterday I took a piece of paper with my because you never know when you'll think of a great scene and low and behold I came home with 3 great scenes.

Dude.  In the last 48 hours, I wrote and edited episodes 27 and 28 of Banana Chan.  I'm rarely inspired so strongly, and when I am, I don't want the inspiration to die as I wait for a shift to end.  The episodes are great, and I'm considering beginning their new season early just to show off how great they are.  Episode 28 is one of the most dramatic scripts I've ever written, and I might adapt its story into a stageplay; it's about an arranged marraige that threatens to tear apart bonds of friendship that were meant to last forever.
