In order to stay on schedule and have a film in production by the time I’m 30 (April 15th, 2010), I’ll need to begin pre-production about 4 months out. In order to begin pre-production, I’ll need a finished script. And in order to have a finished script, I’ll need a first draft (that college degree sure comes in handy sometimes).

I have (hopefully) a clever concept for a story, as well as a bankable star in mind with whom I have a very good relationship. More on all of that later.

I’ll be generous with myself at this stage: I’ll plan to have the first draft written by August 1st. Given a standard length of 120 pages, I’ll need to write a page and a half a day, every day, from now until August. They don’t necessarily have to be good pages; the most important thing is to get the story down on paper.
