| From An Interview With Mr. Payne:
You’ve spoken elsewhere about how Scorsese talks about a film being composed of five sequences rather than three acts?
I think it’s good to get away from thinking about three-act structure when you’re writing films. When you see Scorsese movies or Fellini movies you just see episodes. At the same time, you know that Robert McKee could go and say, “Yes, but it still responds to the three-act structure and here’s how…” Howard Suber, who taught film structure at UCLA and is a proponent of the three-act structure, used to say that in pretty much every film, no matter what structure, at the one-hour mark there is usually a major change. I’ve kept that in mind when I have watched films and you can almost set your watch to it. Within plus or minus three minutes of the one-hour mark there is some major turning point, a reversal or something. But that’s more about making an observation than it is about making a film… When I give screenwriting seminars or classes and they ask me, “What advice do you have for young screenwriters?,” I say, “Don’t read any screenwriting books.” I actually think the whole three-act structure is so deeply ingrained in us from living in this culture and watching movies that in order to come up with new movies – which is what I want to see – you really have to fight what you have innately learned. When you’re writing, you will find yourself being drawn naturally by gravity into doing something which corresponds to all of these things that you have seen. You have to fight that instinct in order to come up with a new movie.

| Really weird day.
Started off with my feature film acting debut on Wee Li-Lin's new movie 'Forever'. Got groped by an old woman, gross!
Then met up with the guitar team from AVA who are helping to produce my film, along with Aikland and Hanshen Sudderuddin. I love having such supportive and generous friends, love keeping it in the family--making movies with your friends is the best.
Off to KL tomorrow for Ayana Saunders' shoot! Good times. Best week all semester.

| I think I finally cracked the "Devil" script today. Unfortunately I am 10 days away from my shoot. Happy days are here again. I'm so excited right now--that magic feeling when you know you have a story to tell is amazing...
PERSONAL NOTE: Time Ellipsis is a wonderful wonderful thing for a writer.
