Good morning all. I am currently in a bathrobe, eating French toast, sipping coffee, and updating the news for all of you interested, curious, or bored with other things in the world. I know…I know. This kind of update is usually reserved for twitter feeds and Facebook subjects. Well, you’re welcome.
Patrick’s Story wins again. Holy crap, that is kind of awesome. The upcoming Humanist Film Festival help in Portland selected the film to be played during their three day festival. They have asked Patrick and I to attend and come to speak about the movie and participate with the festival. I have no idea what award we won, but who cares! I am just glad that another big screen is happening for this film.
On the other front is A Deed without a Name going to Tribeca and Cannes. Yes, that is right. I sent A Deed without a Name to both of those. Tribeca is a festival in which a film needs to premiere, so A Deed won’t see the public light of day until such time as I know if it’s in or not. I wanted to get an IMDb credit for it though, and it turned out that Cannes Independent Film Festival had just opened its door. I figure I can be rejected for $25 with Cannes as well as anywhere else, so why not. Why not indeed. I am already buying my plane tickets. Not because it will be accepted, but because I am an optimist.
So…Galaxy Sailor Productions…how you doin’? Pretty good, I suppose. I am feeling a little grown up, which is uncomfortable and enlightening all at the same time. I was a featured guest on the show Meet The Startup a little over two months ago. I was really excited to be a part of this group and be on their show. It was a really fun interview, and I think I spoke well enough to not be hated by people. Check it out and see my insight into film festivals, film making, and the film world here in Portland. It kind of made me feel like I was sorta kinda maybe accomplished in some way. Weird.
My most current project is still Part of the Ship/Part of the Crew: The making of El Tiburon. I have to keep digging away at the footage, as well as get my interviews done. More than that, I need to get a kickstarter going so I can pay for the post on this baby. Months of time, and lots footage means I need to get this beauty done. There is a fantastic story to be told beyond that of the building of a ship. I just gotta keep the freaking lights on. Things are getting tougher out here in the production world of film and video.
Ok, time to get a move on!
