Yes, it is true…and greatly behind announcement here. The trailer for A Deed Without a Name has been out for almost a month. I have posted it here on my site in both the official Deed page, as well as part of my reel/work page. Yet I haven’t written about it. Time to change that.
The film is completely edited, and has been completely colored, and only needs it’s music. I am having Ken Webster, of Innervoice Studios do the music. He is the same composer from The Last Stand, and I am thrilled to have him scoring my newest project. Ken’s work is great, which is why I am having to wait until August to have him write the music. He is so booked at the moment that I had to wait in line. So it goes.
I am extremely happy with the feed back I have gotten from the trailer, and the feed back I have gotten from the few people that I let watch the film. I had a few marks for technical things, but no one has made any statements that the story has issues. So I’m cool with that. I will have the trailer posted below.
If I haven’t said it yet, in enough places, Patrick’s Story is going to Austin. Stay tuned for more details.
And, yes. I hauled a ship. Well, I hauled one third of a ship, but that one third ship in my van was a pirate ship, so that has to count for something. Right! Recently, as the ongoing documentary of the pirates building a ship continues, there was a dramatic change in location from where the ship was being built, to where the continuation of said build will conclude. As a documentary, it probably wasn’t the best idea for me to interact with the subject, but I did. I helped haul a giant load of lumber. The documentary and the ship building can now continue. Oh, and I got footage of this move. It was glorious!
I believe I have stated many times before how I stand on my beliefs toward attitude, and how that effects your perspective on the things you do. Especially the goals you have set or are achieving. To no small degree, I fight my own demons on trying to keep my eyes on the prize, as it were. I am an extremely insecure person, and I am constantly comparing my self to others, and usually not in a good way (for them or for me).
It is a terrible place to be; in your head battling it out for supremacy with forced that are aligned against you but really don’t exist. Yes, they don’t exist. Well, they exist in my head. The point is, to have a good attitude means having the right perspective. To have the right perspective, you need to be paying attention to your own world and realizing how good you have it, and that no one can derail you more than you can. I am my own worst enemy, and I hate that about me.
I love what I do. I want to do it all the time. Why won’t someone let me do it all the time? Well, I am the only one that really limits that. I know that money plays a big factor in that, especially when I don’t have any, but at the same time I have accomplished a lot, with very little, and very quickly. So when that paces slows I have to remember that I have jumped a shark tank, and made it across to the next ramp. I need to make sure I am lining my next ramp up right and not worrying about the other people jumping their own sharks. If I don’t worry about my own shark tanks, I will end up in them with the shark, just as the adage shows that I will.
So I guess this is just my little moment to let me psychosis breathe a little in the open air of the blogosphere. My own self medicating moment where my ranting about the self can make me realize that I don’t have it bad, the universe isn’t out to get me, and that I am the only limiting factor in what is real, what is perceived, and what is accomplished.
Ok, I want chocolate. And to pet my dogs.

Unbridled passion often leads to murder, as this film noir short amply proves. A Deed Without a Name takes you into a world where a twisted game of sexual cat and mouse is commonplace, where being good…might just get you killed.
