I started writing a screenplay for a short film based on a feature that David and I are developing. You could say it’s a drama with a horror theme, laced with simple, realistic violence. It involves what you might consider vampire-zombie hybrids possessing a touch of magic. The easiest way to sum it up is “I am Legend” (the book) told in the style of “A History of Violence” (the movie).
I miss touring film festivals and want to make my best and longest short film yet (only toured with one 2-minute short and one 5-minute music video). This time around, I can afford more travel and promotion. I hope to use the short film festival tour to promote the feature.
The hardest thing for me right now is motivation. Because I shoot and edit all day for a living, it’s difficult to keep the creative juices going after hours for my own personal work. Nonetheless, I am excited about the idea.
We’ve also been brainstorming about an idea David had about a fictionalized account of the War in Heaven between the angels. That is pretty ambitious though. The furthest it could get at this point is a screenplay.
“It is noteworthy that the Old Testament itself does not at any point actually mention the rebellion and fall of Satan. This non-Scriptural belief assembled from interpretations of different passages, would fall under the heading Christian mythology, that is, Christian traditions that are derived from outside of church teachings and scripture.”
