My pretentious film maker picture haha
2012 has been a great year. A crazy year, but a great year.
Lets do a recap… (In order for this recap to work and be effective, I am going
to write it all in one GIANT sentence and you have to read it all in one breath
and really fast… Okay?) Ready? Whitney and I moved clear across the country
from Orlando to LA, we broke down in Louisiana but we made it, we had a blast,
Joined 728 which is the worlds most illustrious lighting technician local,
worked on lots of cool stuff, ReRe-Animated did amazing at the film festivals,
Ruby turned 2, I turned 30, Whitney is still young and beautiful, I directed
Teddy Jackson’s “The Way You Rock It” music video, I started this blog, I
directed Drop Tank’s “Cheap Shot” music video, met lots of amazing people,
worked with great friends, made new friends, enjoyed old friends, wrote lots,
made lots of big plans, got a mentor, experienced some amazing stuff, survived
the end of the world, and had a great Christmas, just Whitney and I in LA. Did
I miss anything? If I did, I am sorry, it’s been a very busy year haha but
please remind me! |

| for 2012!!!! |
2013 is gonna
be a big year, I know that’s what everyone always says, but I am sure its gonna
be great! I am going to really make directing a major focus in 2013. Most
people always make new years resolutions and then do them for a week or so and
then just forget about them. Well I am not going to do that. I am going to make
a list of resolutions for 2013 as a director and declare them all to you so
that you can hold me accountable… If I make them public so that other people
can see them, I am forced to do them, or at least struggle for them and not
just forget, right? Sure hope I don’t embarrass myself…
1.
Loose 10 pounds.
2.
Learn another language.
Wait wait wait, not that type of resolutions, I mean resolutions
for me as a director…
1.
Direct 10 Projects. I know there is only 12
months in 2013, and some projects take a long time to get going, yet alone
finished, but I am going to be super ambitious. I thought about making it 13
for 2013, but that might prove to be a little to much… Okay, you talked me into
it. 13 projects from Jan 1st to Dec 31st 2013… Wow,
that’s gonna be tough.
2.
1 of those 13 projects is going to be my first
feature film. Not only am I going to direct 13 projects in 2013, but 1 of those
are going to be my first feature film.
This one scares me. Not only do I have to find the project, but convince
people with money to spend that money on a feature length movie for me, me
Wesley Alley to direct.
3.
Win a best Director at something… haha I don’t
really care what, it could be Best Director award for the Best Director sitting
in my own living room for all I care, just needs to be an actual award haha
4. I want 1 of my 13 projects do as well as
ReRe-Animated in the film festival circuit. Although with film festivals like
they are, it might be 2014 before the festival run finishes… so this one might
be tough to judge. But none the less a goal all the same.
5.
Finish writing 2 feature length scripts. I know
that’s not a lot, but with all the time I am planning on spending directing,
and working 728, I am gonna need some time for my loving wife, so I cant make
myself to busy.
And that’s 5, I figure I better cut myself off before I dig
myself to big of a hole. Well actually I am sure that I have already done that,
I hope I don’t make myself look to bad in all my fans eyes but I want to
declare all these goals to everyone so that I will work even harder to get
them. Plus, if I put them in this blog well then I can look back at them over
the year to judge my momentum and remind myself of what I am doing.

| Something I saw |
Looking forward to a great year, lots of great directing
projects, lots of 728 work, lots of time with my wife, etc. Work and spend time with friends, and
continue to meet new friends, grow as a director and as a person. All the good
and the bad. I cant wait to live every second of this next year. Bring it on
2013!!!
