Baba Yaga: The Making of an Independent, Low-Budget Horror Film
Having recently returned to screenwriting, an activity I did with tantalizing, if ultimately disappointing, hints of success as a young man, I have rediscovered the disappointment of sending scripts out and getting no responses whatsoever. Never one to take defeat gracefully, I have decided to just go ahead and make my own damn film, and to do it as an experiment in radical transparency. To this end, I have been blogging every step of the screenwriting process, as well as making the screenplay available as an online document as I wrote it, with all revisions available for the especially obsessed. Now the first draft is complete, and it is on the the process of preproduction and revision.
