Script Group, Older Filmmakers, Writing Exercises, and a Science Fiction Premise

I managed to be busy this week, without actually doing very much. I worked on the script writer’s group, the older filmmakers’ club, and a couple of my writing exercises. Also, I have another premise for a science fiction story.

Script Writer’s Group

I’ve been a member of a script writer’s group for almost 5 years now. It has been an immense help to me. It is where I started doing the writing exercises I’ve been posting. We had a meeting this week to discuss the future of the group. We want to recruit some new members to fill out the group. If you are interested, please contact me.

The CSIF Older Filmmakers Club

The club is on a summer break. I will do some new member recruitment in the next month or so. If you are an older person who wants to make movies, please contact me and I can give you more information. 

“The Courage of the Laidback Librarian”

I recorded and posted a writing exercise I wrote back in late June. I hadn’t gotten around to recording it because I was sick after that. “The Courage of the Laidback Librarian.” A librarian's concern about the welfare of an odd young man leads her into a dangerous situation. https://soundcloud.com/dynamiclethargy/the-courage-of-the-laidback-librarian

“The Fortitude of the Adventuresome Husband”

I also posted another video on Vimeo. “The Fortitude of the Adventuresome Husband.” An adventuresome Husband leads his wife on what is supposed to be a short walk in the evening. https://vimeo.com/738997655

Space Aliens

Several years ago, I watched a pair of YouTube videos by John Michael Godier.

“10 Reasons Aliens Might Invade Earth” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXTHTLnviLU

and

“10 Reasons Aliens Won't Invade Earth” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU9iJB0ATpk

They popped up on my feed again this week and that got me thinking about why aliens would invade. It would have to be something that they couldn’t get easier elsewhere. For example, many of our precious metals (gold and so on) are rare on earth, but quite common elsewhere in the universe.

The only thing unique to Earth that I could think of was Doo-Wop records. Sha Na Na could be our only hope if the Aliens invade.
