Tutoring business, Working at Warner Bros, and Glass Golem

Shit, cut to nine months later. I'd offer deep apologies were any one reading this. After a stint with Davidson tutoring during the ISEE season, I kept many of my students and expanded into business on my own as a tutor. Those students recommended me to other students and suddenly I am working 1.5 hours a day for the same pay... minus obscene driving time up and down Santa Monica Blvd.

Last week, I was picked up by Warner Bros and Rob Long as an assistant on the sitcom Sullivan and Son. I can't say I'm too sorry to see tutoring go, although I now work ten hours for the pay I made in two. Still, it's exciting to work in production (and eventually, on set). At the moment there is little to do and this badly necessitates a side project. Blogging? Something purely masturbatory, please. I could do reviews or something.

I get a lot of writing done on my more recent script, Glass Golem, but with the possibility of someone peaking in their head every five seconds, it makes such devoted work... less desirable. Still, two hours on it each day seems more than possible. While the last movie, Foster & Mephistopheles, came in at about eight minutes long, with Glass Golem I am looking for something bulkier and deeper. F&M, if anything, was mostly a dialogue exercise dramatically filmed, and a calling card for all players involved. The primary character, meaty to the point of psychosis, proved outside of Mats' comfort range, and thus the project itself ended up benefiting primarily myself. Mats played the sniveling counterpart character, the titular Foster.

For Glass Golem I have different goals:
a) Characters that sound less like myself. This worked for F&M because the movie was so completely dominated by the Calvin character that my style of humor was easily recognizable. I'll leave the implications of a psychopath character epitomizing my style of humor to the reader.
b) An action scene. I'm thinking the Golem character will jump on top of a car when he, Moshe, and Dodger are being chased by Dodger's ardent fans.
c) Intensely avoiding morals. F&M avoided to the point of coming out -against- morality, but in this case, especially with a "learning robot" type character, the pitfalls of pontificating characters seems intense.
d) A lead character that isn't Mats! This seems wildly important, as Mats and I CAN NOT work together as director and actor. Mats' breakdown on the F&M set caused an editing challenge I prefer not to repeat. Maybe, MAYBE, there is a part for him as Dodger's friend at the restaurant. The character's few lines could reduce the focus on Mats and require much less direction from me.
e) An increase in scale. F&M looks wonderful, but that may be because I kept the budget at zero and went black and white to hide the lack of color. It worked stylistically but who knows how difficult and expensive the new sets and locations, the color balancing, and juggling what looks to be over seven actors plus extras will be.
