It’s not a story about dancing elephants
Thursday, February 18, 2010





”ERG” has a problem. A huuuge problem.

It is too short.

Not just a little short. But all too short. Really, it is.

I’ve written 29 pages. I should have entered act two and started the B-story and “fun-‘n’-games”.

That’s done. A long time ago.

I’m in the middle of the story! My Ultimate Happy moment, my Point of No Return, will be on the next page!

That is a huuuge problem.

I’m not writing a feature. I’m writing a short.

A damn good one hour short.

Who in the heck want to make a one hour movie?!? It’s not a story about dancing elephants suited for animation.

I’ll write it though. It’s no point in not writing it down. But it is sort of a huuuge drawback.

Television channels generally like one hour movies. So, of course you should write it down.

Yes, I will. Who knows what could be made of it in the end. But. . . aaargh!

I think the length of a movie isn't as important as it once was. Video on demand is changing all the rules.

Désirée said...

I hope you are both right.
