Insomnia Bites

So I've started to work with my actors on the script that I wrote a few months back. I believe that I cast the right people. We're going through all the character prep for the three leads and its going well. They're asking questions that I've never even thought of. I think that this is going to be a good one. The only problem is finding a location. If I can't find that spot, then this movie cant be done.... This is where I start to panic.

A lot of people ask me how I came up with the story for Insomnia Bites. I put a lot of elements of my personal life into my scripts. At the time I started writing I actually based a lot of the dialogue on actual conversations that my friend Camber and I had. I really like her and wanted to do something to show her that I really appreciate her. And what other way than the only way I really know how... call me crazy. Its a real story and even though there is an element of mysticism and macabre, its core message is essentially the establishment of a healthy dialogue between friends.

I feel a great deal different about this script now that time has passed since I crossed the last t and dotted the last i. Things in my life are different, and its hard for me to look at it the same way. Subject matter of the stories we write should never be too far or too close to the heart. But I know that when this thing is done (hopefully), I want her to see it.. after all, wether she knows it or not, she helped me make this thing.
