Day 13
Hello everyone. Just wanted to provide an update on "Ginny's Faith." God has really been blessing this project. We have a new production company, IDAZ Productions with Daniel Kim and partners. We have grown by leaps and bounds. The promotional video is now ready for viewing. If anyone would like to view, please email me at fcatching2@aol.com and I will be glad to share the link.
We are now preparing for a sing-off to encourage the community to come on board with this project. I'll keep you posted.

PreProduction Yes!
I know it has been a while since my last blog, but I've been busy with the screenplay :)
It's called "Ginny's Faith." I'm so excited about it. It's been written, rewritten, polished and analyzed by industry professional Stephen Buehler. Now it's in the hands of a production company, in pre-production. Yes!

Day 12
Hello Fam,
I know it's been a while since my last post. I had writer's block so I took a break from the screenplay to get a fresh perspective. I'm enrolled in six month course at Screenwriter's U, where I will have a structured environment in which to work on the screenplay. We had our first teleconference today. I learned two very important things: it is important to develop disciple to write every day, and giving feedback using the instructor's Mastery Skills Checklist is more valuable than receiving feedback. Today is the first day of an intensive six month course. The teacher says that a lot of his students either have scripts optioned or sold by the time they finish the course and become a part of the Alumni Series. We shall see what the future holds. With God, all things are possible.

Day 11
Hello Family,
I'm still working on ACT 1 of the screenplay.
In the first ten pages, I must:
Introduce the main characters.
Establish the main environment.
Establish the time period.
Describe the routine, day to day way of life.
Provide important, relevant backstory.
Introduce the antagonist.
The catalyst or inciting incident marks the movie's first turning point. It takes the story from complacency to combat, the point of no return. It answers: What does the main character (M.C.) want, and what might prevent him from getting it?
These two questions make up the film's premise, describing what the story is about.
Only after these two questions have been answered can I pose the central question: Will my protagonist succeed at (describe his desire here).
That's all for now.
I've got to get back to work.
God bless,
Felicia

Hello Family,
This week's project is intense. I'm working on the first 10 pages of the script. It is very important that I get this right because script readers often determine whether or not they will consider producing the script based on the first ten pages. I am getting feedback from the instructor and class mates of my online writing class.
Best to all,
Felicia

Do We Truly Love Jesus?
Day 9 0f 365
A friend shared a very profound statement which really caused me to think. It was this.
Think of the person you like the least. That is the most that you truly love Jesus.
I'm reworking the screenplay. The structure is the same basically---just adding a deeper dimension to it. There are a few values that I wish to express in an entertaining way. Also,
I' m writing a character analysis for each of the main characters to further develop their story.
Be blessed.

Answer to Quiz Question
DAY 8 OF 365
Hello Family;
BIBLE VERSE
Joshua 1:8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Want to know the answer to the quiz question: name the 3 recent Academy Award Winners For Best Screenplay?
Simon Beaufoy for Slumdog Millionaire(2008)
Joel and Ethan Coen for No Country For Old Men(2007)
William Monahan, Siu Fai Mak, and Felix Chong for The Departed(2006)
I've been busy editing and re-writing the second draft of the screenplay. I've asked a co-worker to read the screenplay and I am eagerly waiting for her feedback. I have also asked a good friend, great director/editor named Shereen Collington for her feedback and help with the dialogue. Dialogue is not my area of strength. Shout out to my co-worker and to Shereen!
Until next time, keep writing.
Sincerely,
Joy
