Shooting did not go as planned at all. The costume for my actress ended up being far more authentic then I origonaly thought. Early during the shoot someone saw the costume and reported to the police. Nearly 15 squad cars showed up on the scene ten minutes in as well as the fire department. I was let off so long as I agreed to relocate.

So the script has been writen, my cast  and crew have been found, I have the schedual worked out, and I have all my props. One of those props(fake blood)is showing up late so I ended up making my own. made it out of corn syrup, food coloring, koolaid, and flower. Now just to shoot the film. shooting will take place this friday april 29th 2016.

Hello friends. As always hard at work in school, and the project I am currently working on is a short film adaption of Octavia Butlers stand alone novel Fledgling.

The plot of this book follows a fifty-three year old girl who is a member of a race of beings called the Ena, or vampires. The story starts off with the main character waking up in darkness not knowing who or what she is, and it follows her on her quest for answers and healing.

My short film will only encompass the first ten minutes of a scene that takes place in the second chapter of the book. I have a screen play written, and I have began thinking about casting, location, schedule and costume.
