Doing more research on demons. This time I just finished The Devils & Evil Spirits of Babylonia, edited by R. Campbell Thompson.
It’s a bi-lingual edition of ancient Babylonian plates.
Great info about demons and Babylonian religion in general.

As research for a script, I just finished reading The Testament of Solomon
It’s from the 1st to the 5th centuries. It contains a catalogue of demons Solomon enslaved to build the First Temple.
This printing contains a number of typos but I enjoyed it immensely nonetheless

I just finished this amazing book, The Origin of Consciousness in the Break Down of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes.
It puts forth the theory that consciousness developed just 3000 years ago.
The theory includes the origins of religion, science, schizophrenia, poetry and music.

Hi #scriptsky !
I’m new here but just wanted to share some good news. I wrote/directed my first short (late bloomer) this spring. So far it has been accepted into two festivals!
In Jan I was diagnosed w/ cancer. Naturally my mind turned to death. This film is the result of those (comic) musings.

Although it is really a novelty book, I found it full of meaning.

In June I directed my first short film and it is heading to the festival circuit!
Earlier this year I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. My thoughts naturally turned to death. This film is the fruit of those (often funny) ruminations.

I just finished The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage translated by S. L. MacGregor Mathers
This is the magic system Aleister Crowley adapted for his own system.
It is fascinating.

As research for a new film project, I just finished this informative little book: Joshua Tree National Park by Joseph W. Zarki.
I wasn’t aware of the park’s history of cattle-rustling, or how pervasive mining was.

I just finished this amazing book: If It’s Purple, Someone’s Gonna Die: The Power of Color in Visual Storytelling by Patti Bellantoni
It analyses great movies through their use of color.
I’m color-grading my 1st short film right now, and this book taught me a ton and gave me lots to think about.
