My pals the pipers were this summer in Scotland. This video -- not their first, but the first I've seen them edit and chip away at -- represents a grand step in storytelling. Lovely to see the highland cattle and Isle of Skye. Hope Paula will soon say what the music here is. Glad to have Paula & Charlie making remnants of their lives to share. Richer for it.

Now that's a teeny-tiny transmitter...

Report from the Animal Kingdom :: The Rooster Returns

2009-08-31T07:18:00.001-04:00

For the first 3 years I lived here there was a rooster kept me company in the mornings. He disappeared for the entirety of year four, but now he's back. If you listen carefully, you can hear him throughout my reading of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and now, again, behind "Washington Square" too. Welcome back, Mr. Rooster.

Recorded the audio with the iPhone.

The Marketing of "City Island"

2009-08-24T06:18:00.003-04:00

Director Raymond De Felitta is in the throes of preparing "City Island" for release in the United States by screening it all over the planet (Poland, Brazil, etc.), including an "OTX screening" in Paramus, NJ.

Of the "City Island" Paramus screening, Raymond says in his blog:

I hate to be the one to tell you (being as I'm the creator of the subject of this little lab experiment) but our movie scored a mind-boggling 91 percent approval rating.

Movies that score 61% are considered to be doing well.

Just saying.

If you're interested in a look behind the curtain that cloaks the mysterious process of marketing and distributing films, Raymond's telling all over at his blog. Check it out.

One of the producers writes of the screening:

I have been told by many savvy insiders that they have never heard of a film scoring so high in a test screening.

Very good news indeed; and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Re-Vlog :: DIY DAYS PHL - Nina Paley - Nina Sings The Blues

2009-08-15T11:21:00.002-04:00

SITA SINGS THE BLUES Distribution Project Report ?If it?s free, how do you make money?? 5 months after the Creative Commons Share Alike release of her animated musical feature Sita Sings the Blues, Nina Paley presents the first round of hard data from the project. Contrary to MPAA propaganda, the more the audience freely shares the film, the more they purchase DVDs, theater admissions, and merchandise; witness the $$ numbers that prove it. Nina Paley is the creator of the animated musical feature film Sita Sings the Blues, which has screened in over 150 film festivals and won over 30 international awards including the Annecy Grand Crystal, The IFFLA Grand Jury Prize, and a Gotham Award. Her adventures in our broken copyright system led her to Copyleft her film, and join QuestionCopyright.org as Artist-in-Residence. She teaches at Parsons School of Design and is a 2006 Guggenheim Fellow. www.sitasingstheblues.com
