The Ron and Justin Project

Hello, this is the first post of the Ron and Justin blog. Yeah, I know that was probably the most boring and unoriginal way to start the first post, but right now I honestly can't think of a better way to start it off right now. Anyways, the main point of this blog is to chronicle the progress of a project I have taken upon myself to undergo. See, I'm in this video class in my school which provides me with the opportunity to create short films, music videos, commercials, etc. Usually my teacher assigns a project such as, oh lets use a modern example such as the comedies we were assigned. Basically, she gives us the topic, and the rest is our own creativity to produce what we want. Now, obviously the whole point of this blog isn't to stray off topic and babble, so I'll just direct things back to the main point.
Like I said, this is the first post in the blog series, The Ron and Justin Project. What exactly is this project though? Well, as I noted above, I'm involved with a video program at my school and in there I've found that I love to write scripts. Sure, I've loved writing before, but I just recently discovered the simplicity and creativity to screenwriting. Anyways, on my spare time, I wrote a script titled Ron and Justin which in the simplest summary, is a modern day gay rendition of the classic Shakespearean tale, Romeo and Juliet. I honestly had no intention of making this film, but my teacher read it, said that she liked it, and that it was possible to actually create in film format. To make a long story short, I decided to pursue the dream.
The difficulty however, is that the script was 91 pages long when I first turned it in and it's grown to over a 100. On an estimate, each page is equivalent to a minute in film which means, yes, I have written about an hour and a half film. What's the big deal about that though? I just said that we make films all the time in my class. Of course, our films are usually about oh... 3-5 minutes long and the longest video I've seen produced as a project was a documentary that lasted 1/2 an hour. I'm about to try to triple that effort. I hope you can see the difficulty in this. So, what better way to store this windstorm of a project (and maintain my sanity) than to place the progress and thoughts related to the project in a nice and organized blog?
Now, maybe millions will read this series, or nobody will, (I'm betting on the latter) but hey, its still a fun idea and maybe someday I can look back and remind myself of the 17 year old boy who had a simple idea which grew to an enormous project. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy reading the growth of Ron and Justin.
