Bright Flames TV update

We are still rehearsing. Getting tired of that because we don’t have a completion date yet. The community studio has gone though yet another change in staff and apparently changed to another network as well.

As of now, we have studio time scheduled for December 23rd. We have had studio time before and we were double booked. Hopefully this time, we will have the studio to ourselves.

Robert wants to use that time as another tech run, but with the cameras recording. Hopefully we can get some good footage to use and work on improvements.

But, I have to say I am tired of this. So ready for final shoot. But, I am also excited by the possibility of future episodes. Robert has written a brilliant script for Episode 1 and hopefully after completion, Bright Flames will be picked up by a larger network with better organization.

Doing a PSA

Earlier this week, I received a call from Bryan Ridarick who I believe is a student at the Art Institute of Atlanta. He is shooting a 30 second PSA for The Foundation for a Smoke Free America. I believe I saw the audition notices, but had conflicts and dismissed it.

Bryan called me because Teresa Sanson, who I am working with on Bright Flames referred him to me. Bryan said he receive a lot of younger people, and not what he was looking for.

After visiting my site, he called me and were able to work out some dates with the rest of the cast. Next Saturday we will shoot.

FADE IN

EXT – FRONT OF NEW HOUSE – MID DAY

INT – POOL AREA – MID DAY

(BRENDA invites her friend over named DON along with other friends to hang out and have a cook out by the pool. Don brings his friend SCOTT over to the open house. Don gets Scott’s attention in noticing Brenda. Don and Scott are standing together at a distance from Brenda having a drink. Don lightly hits Scott on the upper arm to get Scott’s attention.)

DON: Hey she’s hot.

(Scott’s attention is fully focused on Brenda with great interest as she is socializing with friends.)

SCOTT: Yeah!

(As Don and Scott are watching Brenda, Don looks at Scott and asks Scott if he wants to go and talk to Brenda.)

DON: You want to go over there and talk to her?

(Scott doesn’t hesitate to answer with Yeah. Scott also wants to go and meet Brenda.)

SCOTT: Yeah!

DON: Go over there now!

(Even though Scott wants to meet Brenda he still stands next to Don. Don motivates Scott to go over and meet Brenda.)

(As Brenda is socializing she takes out a cigarette from her pocket. Scott becomes disappointed and disinterested in getting to really know Brenda. Scott has a condescending look on his face.)

SCOTT: Oh no, she smokes!
The foundation for a smoke free America.

positive and out-going. Always looking for that right woman to have a
future relationship. Hates it when people smoke.

Bright Flames Troubles

The first attempt to go to the TV25 studio for a tech run was thwarted because the studio was closed for repairs and failed to tell anyone. We were scheduled on a Monday that week.

What we planned on doing is a tech rehearsal. Create the set, light and sound and some lines, just to get an idea of how this would work.

Yesterday we tried again. We were originally scheduled at 5:30 PM and then rescheduled to 3:00 PM. They double booked that time slot and we waited. The station manager said that the show currently filming would be done in sections so they would be out soon. So we waited.

And waited.

And waited.

So after two hours, I finally left to eat and go to Bartending School. I hope Robert was able to get in and plan things out. It does not sound like the Station is well run.
