Hey guys!

Thanks so much for checking out my blog!

This is such an exciting week in the world of "Sacrament". Today I am talking with newspapers in North Carolina about doing some articles on myself and the movie- it's a very strange thing to work on "self-promotion", but I guess it's a must sometimes!

The next couple of days I am going to be fervously working on my script. I have to send my most recent draft to my Advanced class by Wednesday at noon, and after a script workshop this weekend Jaclyn and I realized we had some re-working to do. The new draft is coming along slowly, but hopefully it will start clicking soon! I'm really excited about the new direction we're going with it, and am very appreciative for all the feedback we've gotten.

The rest of the week will be spent preparing for my Presentation on Friday! I'm much more nervous about it than I thought I'd be, but hopefully I'll be able to use the nervous energy as motivation. I met with Seth, Noam, and Paul yesterday and thanks to their hard work things are coming together very nicely. I just need to finish my text for the prospectus and get ahold of my storyboard artist and I will feel much better....

So, on Friday I will give a presentation to my Advanced Production Class. There are 18 projects vying for 10 allotments, so the competition is very tight, especially since so many of my classmates have such great projects. I will make "Sacrament" with or without the allotment, but getting the allotment would make it a lot easier- I would have access to lots of great equipment from the school and a stipend of $1600, all of which would make the process much easier.

I'm not planning on sleeping much this week, but hopefully it's worth it!

Thanks for reading- I'll do my best to keep this blog updated constantly!

Love,
Lindsay
