rewriting... but for real this time?

It's official - I'm jumping back into the feature film rewrite! Betty Fleetfoot is off to the races again hehe. I hope to jump into the actual reworking of the 2nd and 3rd act scenes soon!? We shall see!

rewriting... but for real this time?
My true and faithful beat sheet (from save the cat)

First - it's so incredibly nice to be back at it.

It really is. Tho it's been a good break (and I'll go into all that sometime) I'm thrilled to be blessed with a bit of time to work on this project again.

Last time we really talked I think the script rewrite was stuck at half done.

I hope to change that. 😅

Texted a friend who might be helping me produce this film (shhh)!?

As of earlier today, I have been able to go through the entire 123 pages of the Betty Fleetfoot screenplay which is MAJOR for me!!

Details include:

  • Locking the first 50 pages (by literally changing the font color to white so I can't re-read and re-edit anything)
  • Taking notes on what needs to be changed for each remaining scenes.
  • And miraculously being able to come up with a rough draft of the new major beats for the remaining 73 pages.

The plan (Lord willing) is to work on turning the random scene fragments I have laying around into a full draft over the next few days!!? We shall see but I'd appreciate your prayers for focus, wisdom and creativity!

Obviously I also need to work on cooking up the videos I have been holding off on finishing for a while haha.

All to say - I've got plenty of work to do.

But that's a good thing 😄

God bless,
