What’s Merrel Up To?

Oh no, here comes another life update!

Since February, I’ve been doing production work on two hours of documentary television which will air next month on the National Geographic channel. I’m excited, as this will be my first on screen television credit. I’ll post more details about the program as the air date nears, it’s going to be a good one.

I’m finishing up a “very special” romantic comedy script with a writing partner. First draft will be done in the next two weeks. We have an “internal” table read lined up for revising purposes before it goes out to people who expressed interest in the project (Some of whom I met at United Filmmakers & Actors.)

Still working as a script reader. As I’ve mentioned before, it is a great crash course for any screenwriter.   The quality of scripts vary greatly, but writing other people’s synopsis’ and coverage helps you stay sharp for when you send your own projects around. Plus it’s a chance to look critically at your peers work.

I’m gearing up for a major revision of my untitled project (which actually has a title, as of this week.)

Since January, the script has gone through three revisions. After putting it in the drawer for a month and some very detailed notes and discussions with a mentor of mine; I’m ready to take a stab at it again.

Stay tuned for some meaty announcements!
