Watch everything I've written that is on the web

Recently a friend of mine posted to YouTube a couple of videos of things I wrote in college.  One of which I wrote about before. That prompted me to gather all of the videos of everything I've written that has found its way onto YouTube onto one big list.

Together, that's nine videos, a combined two hours, four minutes, and fourteen seconds of content, according to YouTube's count. They are:

1. Ourmageddon.  A short film which is a finalist in the 2012 48 Hour Film Project, Boston. A post-apocalyptic buddy musical.

2. Motivations Unlimited. A short film which was a finalist in the 2010 National Film Challenge. A comedy about a romantic advice service.

Two Short Plays: My Boston Theatre Marathon entries

My playwriting discussion group has a guy who hates the 10 minute play.  Actually, to be fair, he hates that the predominance of the 10 minute play tempts playwrights to try and cram 15-20 minutes worth of story into 10 minutes for the sake of getting them entered into contests.

I'm someone who loves the form of the 10 minute play.  I tend to write towards constructing moments rather than resolving plots or exploring all aspects of an idea, and 10 minutes seems to be a good length in which to build the machinery that will unveil the perfect moment.  That's not to say that I don't write longer pieces (I'll get to those eventually on this blog), but the short play has been in many ways some of the most rewarding things I've written.
