Also, a revised version of “To Catch the Rain” has won First Prize in Short Fiction for the IUS Writing Competition which I entered this past May. As soon as anything is up on the web announcing this, I’ll be sure to post a link.

I suppose I should get around to uploading Zenith, right?

I’m updating the site a little here and there. Aesthetically, mostly, but stuff that should have been done a long time ago. I submitted both the newly revised To Catch the Rain and Foundling to the Kentuckiana Metroversity Competition. Also, to the Canvas: Creative Arts Magazine.

I’m looking to hopefully connect my Twitter to a sidepanel, update the links on the side to things more like the places I do freelance for, get these posts to automatically post to Twitter (which may cause a loop, but I’ll deal with that when I absolutely need to) and need to at some point use the FTP to get Leaning (another video with original concept by yours truly and filmed by Klein M.) on the site. So much to do and so little time.

Also, working on a new story to submit to the Kentuckiana Metroversity Competition this year!

Here is the story: Foundling.

Sadly, my group did not win the Insomnia Film Festival, but I still had a blast with it. Feel free to take a look and comment, as it’s linked under Works. It was my first film, and I think I may have caught the bug. Learned some things, too.

I cleaned up some pieces of To an Athlete Dying Young, mostly due to simply looking at it and feeling that some of it would be better off reworded and the like. When I have time, I’ll edit through them all and try to fix them up.

Also, if possible, I’ll upload a performance of the play I’m currently in at Hayswood Theatre in Corydon, Indiana. I play Harry Bailey and Mr. Welch in It’s A Wonderful Life, and it’s been a blast. Cheers.

I’ve been a bit slack this week due to my shift change at work, but it also means that I will almost absolutely have the time for my project in the next weeks. Midnight to noon shifts are basically dead, they tell me.

Anyway, I think the next piece I write I’ll submit to this contest at IUS. I’ve already written the main portion and have something like an outline, but I think it’ll be well done when I’m finished.

Also, just as another update, the Apple.com site put up my video. It’s, sadly, malfunctioning and unable to stream and people can’t seem to vote… But when they fix it, vote away!

Link to public posting of the film.

I’d like to thank Ben Corwin, Josh Williams and Klein Maetschke for the amazing weekend and fantastic work.

Thanks to Brianne Beck and Seth Parker, our actors, for putting up with my last-minute script changes. And to Josh Spicer as well for being Robin Darjeeling.

I’ll post a link as soon as I can, as well as some stuff about the shots and et cetera. Right now, I think I may just sleep a little longer.
