All the things

Dear Diary,

​There is a lot to do when it comes to making a movie. Sheesh.  I figuring this out as I can and I am not afraid to ask for a lot of help.

A really HUGE shout out to Kristen Falso-Capaldi who has been mentoring me on this adventure. She is an award-winning writer, playwright, and filmmaker. I am thrilled that she shares her wisdom and insights with me.

I recently joined UpRiseHer, a She-centric co-working space in Providence and spending a few hours a week there working on this project.

It took me about two months, but I finished my film treatment!  This is a summary of the film I am creating and includes an overview of what the story is about, character development, an outline of acts, etc. I had to create a couple of drafts and change a bit of the scope of the story, but I am feeling really good about it.

I am going to be serving as the executive producer and will play a very small role in the film. I started working on my budget and timeline, too.  Next up: the screenplay!  It has been great fun putting together some inspiration as far as a location and a soundtrack.  You can take a listen to it here on a playlist I put together on Youtube.

There is a fantastic group that supports women in the filmmaking world - Women In Film - so I have just joined the New England chapter.  

​Well, I will end this little entry here.  I gotta get to work!
