Screenwriting : Mission Accomplished (sorta) by Cheryl Allen

Mission Accomplished (sorta)

Hi guys...

In January of this year--remember, innocent simple sweet January, before the wolf looming at the door managed to rip it from the hinges and bust through slinging Covid over all the inhabitants--I made a committment to myself that I would write, cast, direct, edit, and distribute a short-film.

That committment alone was a huge moment for me. There is so much I don't know and have never experienced and it felt like a big step. So late in January I started writing and had a pretty good idea of what direction I was headed in - - along with a budget, some shooting locations and even a few actors etc I knew I wanted to work with. I was pleased with the project.

And then that wolf got the best of all of us. Long story short, I still may make the film I started to make but it ain't happening in 2020 and I have made my peace with that.

But I'm not the kind of gal to not live up to my commitments. It was important to me to get a project under my belt. The Universe must have agreed because I managed to eek out a very short short and I do not hate the outcome. :)

I hope you all are well and hunkered down in your respective homes awaiting the end of whatever the hell this year is...
