Today begins the first of three Sunday afternoons shooting the hyperdrama. Two hours of interior scenes followed by two or three hours of exteriors today. I'll spend some time this morning figuring out how I'm going to shoot.
I got a start yesterday on reading student projects. I need to return them Tuesday, so there's much to do yet -- a full day tomorrow on it.
"The struggle itself ... is enough to fill a man's heart." --Camus

The Deemer Interview
Charles Deemer teaches screenwriting at Portland State University. He is a playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and pioneer in hyperdrama. He was the editor of Oregon Literary Review and the artistic director of Small Screen Video.
"Having written almost daily for over 40 years, I can say that writing is not a job or a vocation or a profession--it is an existence. It is a way of being in the world."
