Hello, my fellow artists! Welcome to another exciting edition of my weekly blog. As you all know, I have two goals that I am focusing on this year. And each week, I am alternating between the two goals to provide updates that are hopefully inspiring and engaging. This week, we are back to my writing goal for 2024: Finish the 1st draft of “The Third Act” feature film script with Kelly Tighe. Once that’s done, do a table read, get feedback, and complete additional drafts.
My writing goal is moving along nicely! On August 28th, October 2nd, and October 9th, the PDP 3.0 Collective met to review the feedback we received on the first draft of The Third Act feature film script. We answered many questions and discarded things that didn’t serve the script. On Wednesday, October 16th, Kelly and I met to begin work on the second draft! It was a wonderful and heartwarming reunion. We were excited to start meeting again and create some more magic. The first step was to figure out where to start LOL. Where do we start with all this feedback? Once we landed on one thing, we expanded upon it. Hooray! We got the ball rolling! From there, we decided to take the next few days to rewatch the Zoom recordings from August 28th, October 2nd, and October 9th to make sure we had absolute clarity of the feedback the Collective went over.

On October 25th, Kelly and I met again. And this time, we came equipped with ideas because we had more clarity after rewatching the recordings. For example, I presented some ideas on how to make a crucial set-up in the script pay off in the end. I also identified dialogue that we can add to a couple of scenes to strengthen them. Kelly presented five main areas we can focus on to move the second draft forward exponentially. What felt potentially daunting last week now felt more doable and achievable. We are meeting on October 29th to begin implementing the above ideas! Keep reading below 🙂
See you all next week!
