The Red! The Phantom! The Sony whatever! The 4K, the 2K. The final cut system. The this, the that.
So what.
All I know is the six inches right in front of my face. And that’s the script. They haven’t invented anything to help write a script for the masses. But they’ve invented a lot of fancy camera’s for the masses to become filmmakers. I would implore myself and others. To work on the script a bit more.

JJ Lask, grew up in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, he never made it past the ninth grade, but to his credit he spent five years there. In 2002, Lask released his debut novel, ON THE ROAD WITH JUDAS; in 2007, he made his directorial debut with the film adaptation of the novel, which premiered in the Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival. JJ’s next film project, THIS IS NOT A PIPE, was selected for the Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab.
What are you doing for new years? Going to a party? Watching the ball drop on tv? Going to bed early? Going to get fucked up? I know what I’ll be doing. Sitting home writing. Because I am inches away from my second screenplay since ON THE ROAD WITH JUDAS. And I can’t think of anything better to be doing.
With each blog post I am going to try to give a secret tip that helped me make my film.
So, here’s the tip for new years.
Write, write, write. The only way a screenplay gets done is if you write it. Screenplays are really really hard to write. I wrote a book, it’s 389 pages, that was a ton easier than a screenplay.
So when you’re at your new years party just remember there’s people out there writing their scripts and those are the people we’re up against.
As Halloween approaches, witches and goblins cast their best tricks on the boys: a disappearing van, an event-based plan, and some spooky movie screenings at the Sunset 5. Even Brian creates his hairy own ghost.
As the tour hits San Francisco, the boys hit the streets harder than ever in an attempt to pack a full house. They look everywhere for a heart, a hand to hold on to, and a face of somebody who needs you. Everywhere Rennie looks, he just finds trouble.
The boys are running out of money so they hold an impromptu late night screening and take their profits straight to the bank. The vegas-bank.
