In Search of Citizen Z.E.D.

Two types of movies that I lose patience with very quickly: time travel, and "found footage."

So, needless to say, a project that came to me a while back, and which now has a title (see above), is both a time travel story and a "found footage" one.

I'm really excited about it, because I've finally managed to think up a story that I think will address a couple of issues that I think are important, and do so in an engaging and entertaining way, without becoming preachy.

Beyond that, I don't really want to say much more right now. It's still in the early stages. Next step will be to write a treatment for it, and that will require some more thought.

In the mean time I intend to focus on this idea for a short, "Niobe," which I will begin plugging away on as soon as I post this update.

I've finished the first draft of Two Many Tonys and I'm letting it sit for a little while, as I work on these other things. By the time I come back to it hopefully I'll be able to read over it with fresh eyes and know what changes need to be made--beyond those that resulted in me changing my mind about some things as I was banging it out.

So, I'll be plotting and writing "Niobe," treating In Search of Citizen Z.E. D., and trying not to allow any more projects crowd my already limited attention. It's not easy. For some reason I've been coming up with other ideas that I really like, and older ideas I've had are sort of waking up and clamoring for my attention, too. One of the curses of doing what I do, I guess.

Anyways, time to work on this short thing, and hopefully manage to pound out something that'll be both engaging and under twenty minutes or so in length.

And watch football. Because I just can't help myself.
