Becoming a "Strong" director

I can't say this summer has been very productive so far when it comes to my personal projects. I have been working long hours on Extreme Makeover and it's been hard to motivate myself to do anything else. I've been there over two months now and we have slated 8 episodes out of the 25 we need for the season. The job was supposed to last until October but now they are saying it may go until December, which is good for my bank account but not too good for my sanity. I'm hoping I can find an assistant editing gig on a film soon.

In the meantime I have embarked on a new goal: to direct at least one film project every month. These projects can be whatever I want, music videos, short films, a commercial, doesn't matter. I just need to be directing stuff. It's the only way I can get better and the last time I directed something was March 08...that's not good.

So, my July project is the pilot for a new web series, "The Legend of George Strong Bailey". It's based on a short silly comedy me and my friends made at Biola. We loved the characters so much that we want to see more of them and we're hoping other people do to. You can watch the original short film below.
