I thought maybe someday I'd have to commit suicide, but I never thought I'd have to grow up, or get rid of this stuff.
I received some good feedback from a producer and a composer and as a result I decided to step back and analyze the structure of the cut of LOST TO LOVE that I have now. I need to become more objective about it. I’m using an Excel spreadsheet to outline the action and divide it into acts, scenes, beats, and individual actions or events. I think that this will help me to see where there might be repeated beats, and therefore where action can be cut without hurting the film. I know there are stellar moments in there, but right now they are buried among too many other moments. In order to make the amazing moments shine, I need to lose the repeated moments and not-so-stellar moments.
