Filipino Movies and Impatience

I am re-editing The Wilderness lately, and I have noticed that the editing process has been taking longer than I thought it would. I then realized that there really is not much dialogue in the story, and I am trying to be particularly descriptive. I’m not really sure if there is a quicker way to do this outside of paying someone for editing. With that, I am also growing impatient as I really want to send this to literary agents. 

I watched a Filipino romantic comedy called I Love You, Hater recently. It’s interesting because the comedy and acting is just different than what I’m used to here in the U.S. There is just this over-the-top type of acting in Asian movies that I’ve seen, whereas things seem steadier over here. I thought that it was fun enough, but it would be more of a rental than see in the theaters, in my opinion. Thankfully, I have a Movie Pass, so it was no skin off my back.

Things have been something of a grind, and I can tell that I am just getting more impatient in achieving my goals. I can only hope and pray that it’s all worth it, as I have sacrificed a bit, mainly my time in trying to achieve.
