Back in the Swing of Things...119 Days and Counting.

Yes indeed, there are only 119 days until Summer and while some of you are groaning at this fact, I'm gearing up for one of the most hectic semesters of my life. I sometimes wonder if I do too much because I like what I do or if I do too much because I like being busy. In any case, I've had a lot to do recently and feel so much better than I did earlier.

Honestly, for me, sitting around is the most loathsome thing in the world- I need something to do or else I will go crazy!

And the thing I'm now working on is....The zombie apocalypse! Well, basically the gay zombie movie that I've been working on for a while. I need to get a script finalized (or at least in semi-coherent draft form) by next Tuesday. Luckily, I've already had some people express interest in helping me out (thanks, EP!) but I'm going to need a lot more! I know it's super early for this, but I don't like waiting on things, so, here is the basic cast list with descriptions, etc:

James- 21, fit and handsome, the "devoted" one; his world gets turned upside down when his boyfriend, Pete, gets turned into a zombie.

Pete- 20, slim and young looking, the "extrovert; " we don't see a lot of him as a human because he turns into a zombie pretty quickly in the film, so for the most part, he is a zombie and his main character motivation is to get his hands on as many brains as possible.

Lucy-19, the "silly" one; Lucy is madly and blindly in love with James and does a lot of growing up throughout the movie as she struggles to decide what the right thing to do.

Mike-22, the "villain;" Mike is the alpha male and wants to be in control of things. When he learns that James and Pete are gay, then he goes after them, forgetting the threat of the zombies.

Elizabeth-21, the "mother"; Elizabeth spends much of the movie trying to keep her boyfriend, Mike, from killing everything that moves. She isn't strong enough to stand up to him directly, but she does give her two-cents a lot. She also helps to comfort Lucy and James at certain times.

There are other smaller characters that appear for a scene or two and then we don't hear of them, like Dr. Reid and the Umbrella Man (he's fun), but for now I'm focusing on the main five.
Also, we need an army of zombies. Do you have what it takes to be in a zombie army? Of course you do!

Anyways, this project is going to be a lot of fun and I'm really excited about it. Let me know if you want to be involved, even if it can only be for a day (because that would help, too!).
