Covered in Slush to My Knees

Day three of working at First Line Entertainment/Edward Bass Films started out pretty crappy. I walked out of my building to be hit with a downpour of freezing cold rain/ice. Not to mention the wonderful mix of snow/ice/slush/whatever that was coating sidewalks in all five boroughs and had to be walked threw for blocks and blocks between trains, subways and buildings. But other than that, I must say that I'm really liking this job so far.  All the people I work with are very friendly and they all seem to like film. And really, what better people are there to hang out with than film people? It's been lots of hours spent in front of my laptop reading threw script after script while taking copious amounts of notes for the past three days. This is going to, at the very least, be a great learning experience in what it takes to write a good script. Just the shear amount of time reading scripts written by other people, that producers/actors/directors are actually interested in reading and making come to life will only help my writing ability. Then, there's what I call the committee session. At least an hour or two every day is spent sitting around the livingroom at the office sharing our notes and impressions and brainstorming how to fix problems and debating the merits of certain lines of dialogue or scenes or what have you. This is a very fun and enlightening process and I enjoy it a ton. I'm loving the fact that I actually get to travel into the city and hang out around movies all day. What could possibly be better. Right now, life is very good.
