oh, i've got the same problem:not sure if that's reassuring for you,for i am quite mad, teehee^^ i'm always saying it's pretty busy: but it could be a lot less busy, if i just concentrated more. it's this weird form of laziness: when i am working, i'm loving it, but it always takes me some time to get myself to it. i'm always thinking "oh, i feel like doing this", but i'm never actually doing it. and when i am doing it, like a week later, i'm thoroughly enjoying it and then i always get angry with myself and feel frustrated, because i enjoy writing and i always think "why didn't i do this sooner". i think i've got discipline issues :( and i do organise, but i always do about half of what i plan ... but maybe that's just how life's supposed to go :D i always tell myself to stop crying about it and just do sth about it.maybe it's the amount of work that scares you off a bit,then you should just take some more, relaxed time planning your weeks.even if you do half of it, its still sth ^^

Haha ^^ I'm the third one, he says: the one that looks like he's never listening, but actually is! i'm not entirely sure what the short is gonna be about, the deadline's somewhere at the end of may, but I'm hoping to have completed a script (i was gonna start it next week, i think, during the holidays^^) in januari. it's either gonna be somethin absurdly funny, about the bizarness of daily life (the thin line between boredom and absurdity^^) or about a writer who doesn't dream anymore - which is a problem, because he uses is dream as inspiration - and he finds out that's because his dreams end up with the wrong people ... oscar worthy stuff, i'd say ;D btw, i was wondering, have you ever read (or tried to) Joyce's Ulysses? i'm about halfway, but, with your studies, I think I'd understand a lot more of it, because mister joyce likes to mess around with language a bit ^^

and during the first two years of the studies(now i'm at the 3rd)we got a more general film programme:not really focused on writing yet,but more on the technical side of filmmaking(sound,editing,camerawork,lighting),but to be honest I don't remember a lot of it :D I try to re-read some books from time to time,just to keep things fresh, but I'm afraid i'm not made for directing ^^ i just prefer writing so much more.there's so much stress that comes with directing,you have to think of a gazillion thinks.and when things go wrong, your head explodes(goes for me anyways).i still have to direct one short (about 8mins) this year,i hope it works out fine^^there is,however a shortage of screenwriters in Belgium(because the industry still has a long way to go)and I’ve even found a few jobs outside of school already, so I hope I’ll be able to make a living out of it and keep doing what I love:) sorry for long post ^^

oh,i'm still just a student,so no one's made a 'real' film of one of my works^^but we get to cooperate with students of other departments sometimes, for example: i'm working on a war short right now (as an exercise in genre-actually it was because of all the research i did on the holocaust,i got interested in poland!)and also a radio play.so i write,they direct.but most of the stuff we get to do we do on our own-there's sth new every week,i guess.sometimes small(this week i did a short dialogue),sometimes big-for some assignments we get to work all year.and even though it's film school,they're pretty openminded towards what you write:film,theatre,prose,...(a classmate of mine is even doing a graphic novel now).the course also demands we see a lot of movies,plays,tv shows and read books,so we get to analyze a lot of them,so using a bit of imagination i guess you could call it reviewing^^

ooh, you put it so well ^^! the studies I do never go that deep: the theoretical stuff we see is more focused on the language of film (montage, imagery) and the media (and how it (ab)uses this). very much an eye opener, because there's, just like language, so much more to watching the telly than you'd think. apart from that, there's also a lot of focus on the theories of narratology; (which i thought was very interesting, because, again, there's more to storytelling than one would think) and some filosophy and semiotics as well. but the biggest part of the studies is the writing itself,because the programme is far more practical than theoretical, in the end. which is why i do it, and love it, because i'm not much of a "study person",i prefer getting busy ^^ so we get to write stuff all the time,which is nice:)there's a bit of everything, but i prefer scripts for film and the occasional piece of prose ... it gets pretty busy most of the time, but i love doing it, so that's allright :)
