What do I write about (?): I’ve been reading consistently, currently Archetypes and the Collective Unconsciousness by Carl Jung and three other books– I’m not a bookworm: I read multiple titles because I find it constipating to read just one book at a time. The book I highlighted has been self-liberating, it brings into consciousnessContinue reading “Conscious Unconsciousness”
Dusting off my First Spec Script: Studio
So the first pull from the digital shelf is Studio, my first spec pilot. Set in 2012, it’s about Tanner, a blissfully privileged and charismatic college sophomore whose tuition is cut suddenly due to his divorcing parents’ legal fees. You can find this current edition at my Screenwriting tab, all the way to the bottom.Continue reading “Dusting off my First Spec Script: Studio”
Blank Canvas: Shelved
Let me say it: Blank Canvas was not published last month. In its current state, the intended message of the story got lost while filling holes in the subplot, and the array of possible patches strays from the main plot. Thus, instead of blindly writing nonsense to complete the screenplay, Blank Canvas‘ dignity will remainContinue reading “Blank Canvas: Shelved”
21 days till Blank Canvas
The past few drafts of Blank Canvas were complete overhauls then empty busts; the inspiration began hot but quickly cooled to a dead freeze. But here I am, flirting with the original story, but this time it feels fresh: it’s been a few months since I read this rendition of Blank Canvas. The separation spoutedContinue reading “21 days till Blank Canvas”
One Month Till the Release of Blank Canvas
An update on Blank Canvas, a screenplay.
Thoughts of the Morning- May 1st, 2022 | A Collaborative Film Opportunity
Greetings. There is an important update: I am embarking on a collaborative journey with filmmakers to submit a film to Sundance 2023. It started with a call for screenwriters from an Instagram story- I responded and then networked with Director Shyra. This is a great opportunity. With love and sincerity, Jose Michael Rubio
A Morning Routine
The morning begins with a singing bowl mediation by Temple Sounds. Thirty minutes into it, I read an uplifting book– for this instance, it was Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson. The end of the meditation concludes the reading session, then I ask myself: “What good shall I do today?“ TheseContinue reading “A Morning Routine”
Thoughts of the Moment- April 14th, 2022 | Blank Canvas 2.0 Kickstarts
Well, at the moment, I am writing this post at my girlfriend’s house. She is watching Survivor Season 42 while doing her nails. So, yesterday I read the outline for Blank Canvas 2.0, and I enjoyed the fresh direction. My focus will now turn to my major commitment: completing Blank Canvas by June 2022. Thus,Continue reading “Thoughts of the Moment- April 14th, 2022 | Blank Canvas 2.0 Kickstarts”
A Plead to Dream
Dreams are reflections of our perceptions- a mirror that reflects metaphors of our current disposition. They can warn us of potential defects by bombarding us with nightmares, praise our circumstances with a shower of positive sensual experiences, or remain mute and uneventful. They can be easily ignored and forgotten- though a few linger in ourContinue reading “A Plead to Dream”
Thoughts of the Moment- April 12th, 2022 | Change
I realize these posts feel forced. So, these Thoughts of the Morning will be redirected to Thoughts of the Moment. This will ensure that each post has something to say and will be posted during anytime of the day. With love and sincerity, Jose Michael Rubio
