Board and Budget REALLY Begins (not really)

So I’m now on page 91 of the printed out version and on page 71 of the re-write. Yes, so far I’ve cut 20 pages. But they were pages that need to be cut.

I started the Board and Budget yesterday, well, not really. I went over to the computer lab to see if they fixed the bug. I played around with the program, adding locations, adding cast members, etc. really it was a Data Entry Power Hour. After using the program for about an hour I did some experiments with it as far as saving and restarting and stuff. Everything seems to be fixed which excites me. Doing the board and budget is probably one of my favorite parts of the producing process. It’s great when you take this huge daunting task of a 100 page screenplay and break it down into elements so that when you look at you can say “wow, this won’t be hard at all”. Of course that’s not the case but it does look like it.
