Today we did a "table read" after Clay's acting class. A table read is where you get a bunch of actors together to do a reading of your script. Overall, I'd say it went very well. It was great to hear the dialog going back and forth. Nothing really stuck out at me as being bad, in fact I really enjoyed it. On another note, I've been sick the past three days. My throat has gotten ALL messed up. I'm at the point where I can't really talk at all. Danielle has done and amazing job of taking care of me. She's made tea, gotten me cough drops, and made me feel great when I don't feel so great. The amazing thing about her is that if I'm in a terrible mood I feel better just from being around her. Not only that, but she doesn't even metion the fact that I'm in a nasty mood, she just recognizes it and helps me get through it. Rock!

It's been a crazy couple of days. First of all, it looks like I'll be going to Houston Texas the weekend of the 25th to visit Lakewood Church. That's a very exciting thing. They're flying me out and everything! Golly gee! God blessed me with a Palm Zire 21 recently. The amazing thing is that Danielle, Clay and I were praying for God to help me get more organized in my life. The next day he provided the Zire! Awesome! Allready things are much better and I'm alot more organized. Just because of a stupid little PDA. Clay and I wrote for over 12 hours yesterday to finish our film. We'll be putting together a budget and production schedule this week. The great thing is that Maggie said she would help storyboard the movie. It'll be great to work with Maggie again. Thankfully, she's only in Long Beach and not Paso Robles. This script was 31 pages, which means the movie should be about 35-45 minutes. That's quite a leap from our first film. The first film was only 10 pages and was about 11 minutes. Awesome stuff. As I continue to develop films and work here in Hollywood I really have to consider if moving to Texas and working with Lakewood would be a good idea. I still feel peace about it, but alot depending on what I see and what they say when I visit. I don't want my creativity to be stifled. I would like continue to work on short films while at Lakewood. I do get the distinct feeling that they would hope I would express myself creativly, which is important. So many things to consider. I'll keep in prayer about it.
