A couple days ago I finished something huge for myself. I finally completed a feature length screnplay. Coming in at 112 pages, The Black Legion is the first story that I took all the way to a rough draft. I'm really amazed by myself because I started it on July 7th and finished the first draft on August 12th. So in a month and some change I went from not even knowing the character of Jared Mackey and his world of science fiction and superheroes to having a completed idea and taking it a step further because now I have outlines for two subsequent movies. The goal at this point is definitely to sell this script, but in the meantime I'm just getting some friends to read it and tell me what they think before I go full on into trying to get it optioned. It's definitely a high moment in my life and after the deep since of accomplishment I feel now, I have to keep going. I have to write more because when I wrote FADE OUT on the Black Legion I had to walk away from the computer. I was completely blown away by the emotional release of it all.
Cheers,
Malcolm.

All of 2007 - in quick review
2007!!! The year of the *pause to look up the chinese zodiac* Boar(Pig).
It was a long ass year for me and a lot of things came to an end. Quit my first awesome job, (Blur Studios October 05 - May 07), started working for and left my first job at my first major company (Sony Pictures Imageworks June 07 - October 07), and then worked for a dream company of mine since I was a child (Jim Henson Creatureshop October 07 - December 07).
Along the way I made a new demoreel, took a couple screen writing classes, wrote several short stories (some meant for live action, some not), and started on a screenplay that I'm half way thru that I really need to just finish already.
Overall the year was mainly focused on work and things of that nature. After leaving Sony I ended up landing a gig here in New Zealand working for Weta Digital, but that didn't start up til 2008 *another, slighter pause*. The year of Splinter, also known as the year of the Rat.
cheers,
malcolm.
