I've been in the industry working in some capacity for a little over 25 years. Most of that as a Camera Assistant or an Editor, with a sprinkle of Live Event Workflow Management to make things interesting.
For the past four years I've been trying to transition into content development but haven't really been able to really focus on it until now (funny that). I've managed to write three feature length scripts as well as one 13 episode mini-series in the vein of Band of Brothers (half written, the rest fully outlined).
Currently, to make use of this time we've been given, I am editing a 3-Part bio of Maj Thomas Jones (a key character in the history of Long Island) which I'm creating by illustrating each clip and running em through AE, and doing the research and outlining for a story about the massive Germanic invasion of Gaul in 406 which focuses on the plight on one small village in the path of the horde.
My primary concentration is on historical drama and I love doing the research and learning about these people and events and figuring out how best to translate their stories from the lives they lived to a respectful and honest dramatic representation. And its always been my dream to be able to do the work necessary to take these stories from the page the screen, big or small.
Although I'm very familiar with what it takes to make a movie or television show technically and organizationally, I'm at a complete loss when it comes to development and financing.
Thank you and hope to meet more like minded people as I spend more time on this site!
