The greatest blogpost in the world....tribute

Truth be told I live a rather rave free life right now as school and decisions for the future (which is rather pressing at the moment) have taken over. That and my new film and TV blog which is going just swell. But I shall not, nay, I WILL not forget my blog origins and so I come to you today with blog that sees a paradigm shift in the house of Kalma....well, maybe.

As you don't know I've been torn with what exactly to do with myself now that my time at Deakin University comes to a close, if I should actually pass all my courses...hehe...he. I tried getting a job that would allow me to stay in fair Australia, but no such luck. The decision to become a professional screenwriter didn't exactly open allot of doors either, but it is my passion and I can't imagine doing anything else to be honest (Directing still comes in at Nr. 2, but the gap is wide right now).

But the solution to everything was so ridiculously easy when I first thought of it. It was staring me in the facial region all along: The New York Film Academy. They have a one and second year screenwriting program that would see me writing intensely for a year or two, developing me as a writer in a way I could never hope to achieve on my own. The choice about what to do next in my life became crystal clear. Yes, it saddens me to leave Australia and the friends I've made over the past two years, but it was in the cards for a while.

So now I await a reply from the NYFA and hope to high heavens that I'm accepted. I can see it now, roaming the Big Apple while all the while writing my ass off trying to get it good enough to sell. And the fact that my chances of having my scripts seen by Hollywood big wigs gets upped by X% doesn't hurt either....still gonna be hard as nails though, but I have faith in my ability.

If I do get accepted I will be headed for the U.S of A. in August/November of 09. I will be returning to Norway in late February/early March and hopefully my stay will be brief.

Fingers crossed.
