INT. MAIN CONDO – NIGHT
11:30pm. Just made Mike and Keith their second cup of tea. Peppermint and Sleepytime tea respectively. Both with honey.
Producing an original piece of work on a time crunch requires inspiration, complete focus, and many cups of coffee and tea with a serving of madness. I know well from my speed filmmaking experiences with Mike and Keith. But writing an original screenplay for a feature film in a time constraint—to breathe months and years of character and conflict and journey to this infant of a storyline that we birthed less than 50 hours ago— is beyond crazy lake. I am not sure if anyone, even I, can understand the task that Mike and Keith have in front of them in the next few days.
But this is the thing: I know they can do it. This is probably the toughest and the least fun hill on the 28-day marathon (as of yet), and unfortunately no one else can run this part of the journey for them. (We would, if we could.) But if Mike and Keith keep doing what they are good at and let energy and inspiration flow straight from their crazy brilliant brains out onto the page, we will have a script and one talented team so ready to carry it out.
Meantime, all I can do is put the water on the stove and be prepared to produce the beautiful world they create.
In addition to sending us your best creative vibes, leave a comment with your best writing inspirations and words of encouragement for Mike and Keith and I will pass them on!
(Keith and Mike, if you are reading this, please resume writing and holler if you need more tea and/or Oreos.)
