corona sucks

WARNING: RANT AHEAD

I can't believe I'm living though a pandemic, very weird. It feels like everything has either been shut down or put on pause except for going to the grocery store. I'll admit it, I kind of like quarantine. I've actually been working out, watching films, and dedicating time to a couple other personal projects. I'm really lucky to be able to relax during quarantine while others have to worry about work, their health, their family members. But this post isn't about that. This post is about corona. I hate corona. All it does is make things harder for me. Both of my actresses dropped out so I'm probably going to have to act as the main character myself and relinquish control of the camera to someone else, which I hate. I also have no idea on what I'm going to do about the second half of the opening. You know, the part with dialogue. I guess a monologue? Maybe I could try to use my mom instead of a friend for the dialogue half but she has a thick accent so I'm thinking she could say her lines in Spanish. Surprise! It's a foreign film now. If I use my mom I'd also probably have to rewrite the script to make it a mother daughter conversation instead. She got surgery recently though so she's on crutches and it's going to be kind of hard to provide an explanation for that in my opening. Also, I think including another language in my film could also switch up my target audience. I don't know. Oh, and to make matters worse none of the music licensing companies have gotten back to me so I haven't even properly planed how I'm going to shoot the fist half. And now that everyone is going into quarantine I have a feeling that the process to get my request accepted is going to be even slower. I checked out copyright free music from Youtube but it kind of sucked so I won't be using that. I'm also worried that there's going to be some sort of government-issued stay-at-home order because I was planning to film at my old house. I only started thinking about that because that happened in Illinois, where my sister lives. But probably not. Florida's government doesn't seem very proactive during this time. The good news is that I got an extension!! April 12th. At first I was super happy about this but then my brain turned on me and I started freaking out about how I wasn't going to be able to come out with a good film opening. So I don't know. This whole thing makes me feel anxious and when I feel anxious I usually put things off. But I can't really do that in this case because I have a deadline...So, I guess I'll just have to push through.
