Ok, time for a break from twitter. Not by choice, my brain simply won’t let me go on.
Trying to decide whether to go with a webseries or feature length film as my big project. Then I remembered I have 4 pages of math homework.

…and Spring Break is over. I feel ready- school’s over in a few months anyways!
High five to Tony Gilroy et al for making Duplicity such an amazing film! Like a smarter Guy Ritchie flick (and I love me some Ritchie).

Watching @qoolquest give @WaleDC sage, experiened life advice - yet another amazing + unexpected twitter use.
Down to go see “I Love You, Man”, but am going to wait till it comes to the discount cinema. Also, did I mention that Coraline 3D cost $13?
I just discovered that Donald Glover (great actor,...

WatchTrailer for Sony Animation’s “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” - looks great, and the style is super fresh!
Wow, I should really proofread tweets more - looking over my last week of history makes it hard to believe English is my first language :\
RT @prodweek: Update: Christopher Nolan’s “Inception,” has setup production offices at Los Angeles Center Studios. http://is.gd/nNMq
Hmm. maybe i DO like screenwriting - not trying to learn+stick to “proper” filmmaking is working out brilliantly (so far)! الحمد لله
in the dialogue-writing zone right now. Rawr.
I’m not a Twilight fan, but I do love me big films, and they’re filming “New Moon” here in Vancouver right now - wish I could visit the set!
Chewing gum fascinates me. No clue how it works.

Slingshot Hip Hop - a documentary about...
Here’s another trailer for a Hip Hop documentary, this time coming out of Palestine instead of Pittsburgh. Slingshot HipHop is about the new Hip Hop movement coming out of Palestine over the last few years. Slightly dated (people can’t leave Gaza anymore, many of the buildings shown no longer exist, and the wall now closes the people in completely), but still looks amazing nonetheless....
Wow, really? Last time I was writing the feature was 2 weeks ago? Way to go, self. At least I did ~6 pages today!
liking TweetDeck so far - had no idea it was free! I like anything that runs on Adobe AIR even of the only other apps I’ve used was Pownce

Back from #Coraline. Good movie, took a while to really pick up the pace - 3D was interesting, but my eyes hurt now, so mixed feelings.

Script rewrites.
…and life imitates “art” once again. The peice of dialogue that I posted from the new film yesterday sums up almost all of our script rewrites:
So we basically added+subtracted a lot of the story, liked it, watched the raw footage from when we first shot, loved it, and threw away 99% of our changes.
I really wish there weren’t so many small issues with the first time we...
RT @boburnham: watching @iamdiddy on twitter is like watching donald trump try to monopolize the “5 cent lemonade stand” industry.
Dialogue from the new film
Ben: Plan A has failed! Attempt plan B! If there's any confusion, plan B is to make plan C!
Some time later: ...
Ben: ok, plan C has been formed - re-attempt plan A!

At this time next week, we should (Insh’Allah) be done shooting a new short film, “The Impractical Job”. It’s the story of a man (Ben Wright) who decides to rob a video game store so he can trade the games back in and buy himself some tap dance shoes.
We actually filmed about 85% of it in March 2007, but, due mostly to technical difficulties and partly to insufficient...
