    28

    I just turned 28. I live in Los Angeles, i’ve worked on feature films, television shows, and a bunch of other small projects. I still haven’t accomplished much, but i’m working at it.

    Birthday’s are a great time to take stock of your life, to see what you’ve done on your time on this planet, and to set some goals for yourself for the future. I have a simple goal.

    WRITE MORE.

    If i’m to call myself a writer, i’ve really got to step up my game. The best way to do this is to blog, every day, for as long as I can. So i’ll start today, my birthday.

    From the start, the day has been off. Working at 5am on your birthday, at a job that pays the bills, just so you can write, even when you don’t, is just that more depressing. Luckily it was followed by a three hour drive with someone I didn’t expect to have as interesting a conversation with. Followed up by an inpromptu birthday party/dinner, and then a movie by myself (something that I really do enjoy).

    It’s a good birthday, filled with enough birthday messages to drain my phone battery and leave me in a bar bathroom trying to coax it to give up the address of my hotel.

    I’ll finish up here, it’s a good start. 

    P.S. Mojito’s + 5 hour energy drink = A great time

  • Derek Housman's Space

    Derek Housman has been making videos since the age of 10. His first video was a set of fake commercials with his sister, a tape he continues to taunt her with to this day. He worked his way through high school at a local video store where he gained his influences such as Quentin Terintino, Kevin Smith, and Steven Spielberg. He continued his love for making movies by working on over 30 short films in college, culminating in shooting a pilot for a TV series. Derek worked in the New York film scene and studied for two years until his eventual move to Los Angeles. He has worked in various fields, such as motion picture development, reality television, and most recently new media. He continues to write, direct, and produce content for various media outlets.
