Back to the drawing board.

I have so many ideas big to small that sometimes to help myself quickly I need to think about the smaller ones.

I know how to crowd source and crowd fund a lot but because of my bipolar condition I get fearful where to “pitch” ideas. Probably people without these conditions feel the same way but mine is quite intensified at times.

My practical work is “pitching” idea’s so to get funding perhaps its OK to start with a small idea.

It’s not like I could go manipulate a theme park in a day but damn it I could.

So to get some funding to do what I want to do I have to humble down and give this smaller idea a consorted effort not that everyone is in my way or that I will get disapproval from anybody besides people that want me to be more practical even than this endeavor.

Sometimes I wonder why my life has to be so damn frustrating. Frustration is not the only and definitely not the healthiest way to drive my creative revolutionary wheel.

Sometimes life just throws those lemons one after another. Such situations make me be an a-hole sometimes not due to fault of others and sometimes so. I cannot feel guilty about decisions I make anymore because they are not snap decisions as much as crossing the line or allowing advantage taking to just keep building until I reach a breaking point.

It’s not my nature truly but sometimes nature does this and is perhaps a healthy event; both for those on the winning and losing end.

But you know in another respect if I’m trying to be build a team of top notch A+ people and help maybe its OK to think of such mannerisms in such terms of those entering my endeavor to help me with my creation, domain, project as it is indeed an A+ hole of creation.

With that said I’m a pretty stable rock of a person too; well mostly as I’m male I get moody not emotional.

Sorry people. I still love ya and all.

Sometimes cussing, cursing, loathing a driving force can be a good thing as you walk away under your breath thinking or mumbling so.

I’m fun and witty as hell too once the ball gets rolling.

What do you do when restoring personal credit can cause legal harm to those you don’t want it too?

Find loopholes I hope.

Tomorrow is my mother’s birthday and while there are other matters in life more important than family at times I must always remember how important it is to attend such events even if it is simply for a dinner.

I don’t talk about family much but I do have a son and parents that have been married 46 years. I also have extended family that I care about. I’ve left many friends from my past as situations are temporary much for me.

My life and world is simply different from their’s and it is hard to be relatable to non-media oriented people at times and yes even family.

My brain is so hard wired towards media it kind of comes down to food, dogs and weather. Oh, and borrowing money. LOL!

I know it sounds funny but usually those subjects keep me out of trouble if I just take the clue and quit trying to manipulate everything into media. It’s actually tough as years of dedication have done this to me good or bad.

That’s about as honest as I can be.

Bank proposal’s and professional help. That’s all I have to say about that.

What’s new for me is an awesome outlook.

Everyday I come up with new story idea’s and while I don’t particularly care to write them out much I still think it is important to jot dot, catalogue and group idea’s.

It’s not that I can’t write and write well; it’s just sometimes I see the world I’m trying to mold myself for as more of a manipulation of idea’s I prefer to run with.

I once made a “pulse” of America audience forces template that rang true much and while there is no 100% predictability factor to anything I still think it is helpful to stay mindful of such.

A lot of veteran’s out there periodically post about what’s selling. I think sometimes years into the future as to what will sell. So far I’ve been pretty good about it.

Yes this could be better written and it is directing on the page. But it was just something different I tried. I cannot divulge what the story is about and it actually becomes much sicker; as sick as The Revenant. In addition location and time is known and depiction is more detailed but many should get the just of this effort. Action is also capitalized in a better version.

I also have a post traumatic scenario involving a young woman and a sick situation but I decided not to put it up as it truly is sick; as sick as The Revenant.

This is also a story based on true events.

Again this is a very rough draft as to give nothing away nor is this a military holocaust scenario or resident evil or horror in the traditional sense.

VERY COLD OPEN:
Screen is black, music starts, sick, sleazy, cheap, grainy
yet well orchestrated like seventies porn, thrashing metal
also punk like, angry, angst, violent.

EXT. LOCATION UNKNOWN, TIME UNKNOWN

VIEW IS AERIAL
Music continues background in tone.
It’s twilight, dawn or dusk, faded city lights in distance
not well maintained. Thunder pops lighting streaks,
dilapidated building comes to view. Frames roll gritty as
building rain in foreground, background, no touch of grey,
all grey.

View gets closer to building, sun starts to rise, grey gives way to variance
in tone, color, yet still gritty, foreboding as we inch
closer perhaps wishing it had stayed grey to ease what is to
come parallel to musics preparation for us.
Death, destruction, crime, corruption, homeless tattered
clothes, covered in filth, reeking from visual depiction
alone, a true holocaust representing ages all.

View comes to street level pans and holds at building entrance. (More detailed)

INT. DILAPIDATED BUILDING
Upon entering building “Ratso Rizzo’s” place from Midnight
Cowboy looked like a palace in comparison. Outside was no
better or worse than inside, strewn around, same picture of a
human holocaust. (This is also much more detailed)

Music ends only to be replaced with coughing, wheezing,
moaning just as sick and sleazy as the music. Not a sound a
normal human wants to hear or could even tolerate prolonged
without getting ill themself. Picture is now engrained within our minds as we exit.

In hindsight this could be considered troll bait but it was never my intent to do such to people. 

All screenwriting starts as crap. It is sad that some people at one time actually thought this an efforted attempt at some real completed work of screenwriting. Why would anyone put up anything golden unproduced on any site except maybe a cancelled show spec. This was just an attempt to show a different skill set for a few director’s who might want such polished.

It was sad some personal attacks this caused. It could have cost the firing of people in today’s world. Anything in blue was not in the original post.
