GOOD WORK TODAY

Hacked my way through the last of the new reel (replacing the reel I chucked out), and now I'm blasting into the third act of Draft Three. It feels good. Much darker, scarier, more adult. Not sure what I've done to the budget, but the movie has to first of all work -- a nicely budgeted movie that doesn't work is worth nothing, while a movie that's a bit too expensive has hope at least. Anyway, I'm not an expert on budgets, and there is more than one way to skin a cat.

(Incidentally, that expression refers to catfish. And there is more than one way to skin a catfish, I gather, catfish being notoriously hard to skin. I guess I can find out more if I manage to get to New Orleans this spring.)
