Ceara Comeau's Blog: Lessons From A Struggling Writer - Posts Tagged "sisters"
Book Sisters Productions
The month of September has been a roller coaster of craziness! But through the ups and downs, I had something really amazing to look forward to--filmmaking. Remember last month I said I was going to work together with a local filmmaker/author? Well, it's not just a concept now. It's officially a reality!
With my marketing and public relations skills and Killarney's filmmaking vision, we make an amazing team. What's better is that we're both writers, so we understand each other's dreams!
To be honest, I never knew just how difficult it is to maintain the marketing aspect of a project and the project itself. But, it's very rewarding in the long run because at the end of the day I can say, "Hey, I helped with this! I made it work!"
Book Sisters Productions is what we have appropriately titled our little company. Our first project will be taking my old Amber Oak short stories and turning them into films. That, in itself, is a challenge.
For those who haven't read my original stories, they were written when I was twelve. Being in my late 20s, I can see areas in these stories where I need to either explain things better or flesh out the plot entirely. It's definitely a lot of work, but what's fun about it is that I'm also writing them in the series they were meant to be.
While the screenplays are in progress, our little company is assisting in other films. There's never a dull moment, whether it be last minute props…emergency script adjustments…or planning out the film day to a T. Although I still have a lot to learn about "show biz", I feel that assisting in these upcoming films will help me understand things better and also help me better as a writer whether that be writing on or off-screen!

New Year, New Updates
So, it wasn't until I started scrolling through my past blog posts that I realized I actually didn't have any major life lessons that I learned this month! (Shocking I know).
But, I do have some pretty awesome updates for this coming year.
My film partner, Killarney Traynor, and I have been hard at working building our new film company--Book Sisters Productions. I'm sure I've mentioned the new venture, one or two times ;)
So far I've written four screenplays which are all in various editing phases right now. We are also having two logos being done up by my awesome cover designer, Matt Crafton of Space Viking Productions and we are also looking in to getting a sample theme song done by a mutual friend of ours.
Things are right on track for pre-production which we hope to start this June! While we are in the waiting stages for the new multi-film series, Killarney is getting ready to do her next film, Peacemaker. This will be a western theme. That is something she anticipates will be filmed in the spring which Book Sisters will be a great part of.
Along with that, Killarney's latest short film will be premiered on January 31st on YouTube. Here is the link for it, you don't want to miss it!
