So the past couple days have been particularly fun and most definitely interesting. I am sleep-deprived, stressed, and it’s only going to get amplified from here. In my last “update” I discussed a couple of projects I was working to become a part of. The good news, I’m officially attached on both.

Your Vote Counts
This is the film I am attached to act in. It’s being Directed/Produced by a UCF student and we will begin principle photography next week. The cast is going to have a read-through later this week(changing schedules doesn’t have us all nailed down at one specific time yet). I will play a character called Barry Dease. Basically, he’s a giant douchebag. Think Richard, from Van Wilder, only more of the Jock type than Ivy-League prig.

Rise of the Quantum Keeper
This is the film I am attached to crew. Originally I was going to try and be someone’s lackey(P.A.)… but that changed when I was made Art Director. This film is a feature-length, low-budget Indie. It’s supposed to be headed out on the lesser-festival market(as I like to call it). We’re supposed to start shooting the first of November so that our insurance will actually mean something and doesn’t run out before we finish shooting. I will go into a little more detail of what my job is once I’ve worked in it longer. In a general summary of what Art Director is, I’m in charge of adapting the screenplay written scenes, into a vibrant, realistic set. I am working with the Director, as well as the Director of Photography(D.P.) in order to come up with a look for the film. Since this movie is a feature-length, low-budget Indie set for lesser-festival market distribution, the crew is small and unpaid. Thus, I have to take care of all the jobs underneath mine(Prop Master, Set Designer, etc.) as well.

Wish me luck. More updates as I continue working.
