Memo To: Independent Filmmakers From: A guy who just spent too damn much time staring at promotional film stills re: Cliches ————– Dear indie filmmakers, When selecting which film stills to use in promoting your work at a film festival, there are several common images which are horribly over-used: 1.

Finally home

Monday, December 12th, 2005

Some people have jobs. Me, I have huge fraking projects that comsume my day from dawn until well past dark. Sometimes I get paid for these, sometimes not. Came “this” (you have to imagine me holding up my thumb and forefinger a short distance apart from one another) close to pulling an all-nighter tonight, but [...]

In Which Our Hero is Fat

Mom has decided that as long as she and Dad are out of work for the time being, it’s holiday baking time. About 10 years ago, we made over 250 plates of cookies and passed them around the neighborhood. I think she’s trying to outdo herself this time (with the help of several adult children). [...]

I was so tied up with work today that I completely forgot my regular Pride/Center hours. Not good. I’m going to have to pull on some intern help to get [...]

I’m still here

Monday, December 5th, 2005

Between work (things are really crazy at Bob’s Event) and my father, I haven’t had the time to update much recently. I haven’t had much time to work on Pride either. So… since last I checked in… We almost lost Dad. As I wrote, the surgery on Tuesday went well, but the next night (Wednesday) [...]
