Well, first of all I've confirmed my locations. We're going to be shooting at the Piedmont High School, in one of their classrooms, and then in the quad area. It's a nice campus and I think it fits the film well.

Other than that, I have my storyline for the most part locked and I'm onto writing an outline. I've cut Dimitri and Julia, the science and computer nerds, to give center stage to the two main characters. This will give me more time to develop character for the two of them, as well as develop their relationship together. I'm not quite sure what the last draft of the treatment was like, but I'll post up the latest one tomorrow. It's like draft 9 or something, so a lot of changes have been made.

I've been working hard at casting the film and I think I've found the bully, but auditions still need to happen as I have a lot of people who potentially could play the role. I'm having some difficulties with Kristin playing my lead, but hopefully she'll be able to fix things so she'll be able to play the part I so desperately want her to play.

What else is going on....hmmm...

I'm going to meet with my DP soon about the look of my film, as well as some things I'm sorta hoping to do. The only thing I could really find that matches what I'd like my film to look like are a few TV shows. The first is Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, which is a show on nickelodeon.

So it'll be a bit like that, with a mix of Clarissa Explains it all. I'm modeling my bully after the bully that appears in one of the Clarissa episodes. Basically, it's fun vibrant colors, deep focus, low key lighting ratios, we'll probably rarely go above 5:1.

Really, I just need to get on casting and writing this thing. I'm working on it though, don't worry! Things are really coming along.
