New Blog Schedule
I have already been posting a blog on stoicism and polymathy weekly. I will be adding a new blog named Exploration Beyond. Exploration Beyond was originally designed as a podcast a few years ago, but the lack of a good recording space kept it on the drawing board. It is where we will use our curiosity to explore the possible technologies and futures of the human race. I hope you will join me in this exploration.
The new schedule will be:
Why Should Writers Watch Silent Films?
You enter a dark room lit only by a large screen displaying a silent film. A soundtrack of music plays as characters tell a story without spoken words. In the days of silent cinema, directors relied solely on visuals to tell compelling stories. Silent films, with their exaggerated gestures, facial expressions, and physicality, communicated emotion, tension, and plot without a single spoken word. For novelists, these films offer a masterclass in understanding and utilizing body language as a powerful tool for storytelling.
Status of projects
Fire of the Dragon: In 2022, an independent film company hired me to write a 30-minute script for a movie that had already been shot. Once I wrote it, they shot and added the scenes to the movie.
Fire of the Dragon is an international film filmed in Colombia and the United States. It is a story about one man's fight against human trafficking, as we follow David's journey as he learns about the horrors of human trafficking and how human trafficking affected his own life. David must face his past, present, and future while searching for answers to bring him clarity, closure, and justice to close this chapter of his life finally. (For the record, I didn’t name the character. I promise)
