Sooo...

So I am currently about 70 pages deep in the script. I keep thinking about the story and how I want to fix the beginning before I finish but that also sounds like a bad idea. If I want to have it done in time for the annual Eerie Horror Screenplay contest it needs to be done soon. Having until wednesday off with no schoolwork may just be the perfect opportunity to push through and finish this bad boy up...

Starting to get good...

I have officially entered the parts of the screenplay that are starting to get into the story, the awesome, gory, action picking up parts of my epic tale. Downside... I just got a script reading internship this week and have to read two scripts per week and provide extensive reports.... Yes this will affect my writing time, but I think it will also improve my ability to write  a solid screenplay.

Wanted to give you guys a taste of what I am actually writing as well, Its about a college grad who cant get a job until he finds one at the mortuary his mother is buried at. Until the script is done and copy-written I dont want to say much more, but I will drop hints along the way. Thanks for reading my blog, more to come...

Funerals...

We have all been to at least one, they are trying and times of high flying emotions. But what if you worked at a funeral home and no one showed up for someone's final moments before being put into the ground. Would that make you angry, sad, emotional in any way? I am trying to create this imagery in my head but something just isn't clicking yet...

So I found this earlier today...

So I was looking for a real menacing gravestone to describe and pretty much be a character. I dont know about you guys but this is pretty much the scariest one I could find, disregard the pretty leaves and shit... If anyone finds anything better let me know...

Been a few days...

Whats up... it has been a few days since my last post but I have been hard at work on the screenplay. A solid forty pages and I am starting to break into Act II. A scene in act one I could use some help on would be a party montage. A chose DMX's rough riders anthem as the montage background song, but what would you chose?

Happy cinco de mayo...

Id like to wish mexico a happy independence day by celebrating with margaritas and burritos. On a directly related note... the new trailer for Machete was released today and fuck me does it look awesome. There is a goddamn machete fight betweeen Danny Trejo and Steven Segal!! WTF!! I hope this does so much better at the box office than grindhouse did because I could certainly use more of these types of flicks.... and could prolly write one too...

Dialogue... keepin it real

Dialogue is one of the most important aspects of creating a movie everyone will remember watching. If the dialogue is not genuine and does not reflect the way society interacts with each other it is utterly useless. I feel like the majority of films fall into this category. People remember and memorize for that matter, word for word, great dialogue. Horror especially lacks the in depth human interactions that become memorable and worth quoting. Army of Darkness, has some amazing one liners, American Psycho, Hellraiser, and even Scream provides some memorable dialogue, quotable pieces of art that will live on in horror culture.

Welcome my friends!!!

Hey what's up everybody... My name is Chris Drzewiecki and I am in the process of writing my first screenplay. My first, as fucked up as possible, hope you pee your pants, the dialogue will make you realize the meaning of life... type HORROR screenplay.

The document as of right now is officially 12 pages long. The opening scene will hopefully pull any reader into the world that is Tissue(s). I have scoured the internet and read countless forums on writing the perfect screenplay and I know that the first ten pages will make or break any screenplay. Hell, people have attention spans that can be measured in nano-seconds... I hope they will at least read the first ten pages.

This blog will document my process, hopefully acquire some followers I can bounce ideas off of, and will follow my screenplay... from my mind, to an agent and to a theatre near you.
