fortunately, i stick to a throughline ...

... a bit easier than i ever stick to any point.

i told AD Chris this when he first agreed to work on Keskarel. Chris is a novelist and good at big picturing, and as i told him he would have to do from time to time, he always finds a polite but firm way to say, "I think you're getting off focus."

i would like to find more good people to work with. until Act One of the Quicktime Storyboard is complete, i don't think i have quite enough to show anyone i was asking for money. but that is the plan. if you or anyone you might refer to this blog is interested in this process, thinks s/he can learn something, and, like Chris, can also teach me something, please contact keskarel AT gmail.

i have one requirement. my college theater teacher insisted that all his actors learn how to do a simple softshoe because "sometimes being able to do this can help you get a gig." i am an expert paralegal writer - i love doing it (don't know why). it is not a skill that i could take and pass a test on - either you can do it because you can do it, or you can't. i did not feel that i had a skill until i knew i could pick up virtually any video camera and figure out how to use it in 20 minutes or less - 20 minutes being the time limit of most basic tests for camera operation.

my requirement: because i believe in the softshoe theory of having that extra skill, no matter what crew role you have on Keskarel, if you do not know how to operate a camera when you get here, you will have to learn how to use all of the cameras on the set because having that skill might you get a job.
