The Pact (Part Two)

As you all know, I lied. I said I was going to update this blog once a week in order to keep myself motivated and to keep you fine people who’ve been reading my musings to keep reading!

I’m sorry. Things came up. We can all relate to that, right?

Let me start by saying I am sincerely going to try and redeem myself here by writing once a week from now on (unless something comes up!)

So what came up, you ask? I was thinking. About many things. Too many things in fact, to the point where my thoughts became so convoluted it took me a while to decipher them. So here it goes:

Don’t make movies without recognizable actors (even if its a horror film). You will hurt yourself in the end, I promise. “I Am The Bluebird” is not a horror film, but a high-concept sci-fi drama, with no recognizable actors (I hope they aren’t offended when I say that — some of them will be, I have no doubt). In truth, you may have seen them in something, but that’s not good enough. You have to say, “Oh! That’s the guy from (insert show/movie/whatever here)!” If you were searching in the store, and saw my film in its pretty white case with a bluebird necklace on the front, you’d probably say something like, “WTF is that?”
