Winter Re-Run :: The Welding: Bride's Song - I'll Cut You if You Cut and Run
The song -- "I'll Cut You if You Cut and Run" -- was written by Carol and me - the bride's lyrics to my music - and was played by Brooklyn's Hungry March Band the day following the blackout of August 2003.
What a beautiful nightmare it was.
More footage from "The Welding" perhaps forthcoming. This serves as part of the collection of sketch /trailer footage I've made toward producing "The World's Longest Open Love Letter" film.
Wish me luck.
Again.
When I boot up my phone it says, "Try Again," which are words captured from inside a bottle top by an artist whom I know by the name of H.D. I bought the print from her. Perhaps it's time to hang the art collection. Again.
"Try Again."
I'm just saying.

Web Therapy :: Getting the Tools Right
"Web Therapy" uses 'social media tools' to create the production delivery / storytelling 'device' of the web cam as character & narrative tool.
Good stuff I think, based only on this third of an episode.
3-minute web cam psychotherapy sessions?
Um-hm.
Large-concept; easily improvised, shot & edited; respectful of busy folks' schedules...
The flash site's a little bit slow-to-load and lame (get over Flash, yo), but the humor's pretty darned funny.
Oh, the site's lousy with Flash.
AND I can't upload my own avatar.

Re-Vlog :: My Buddy Clark of ZipZapZop.com
ZipZapZop makes me laugh. Again.
This is something that needs to be taught to younger generations along with how to make a grass whistle and other important things.
Who knew?
ZipZap says:
Dancing Caterpillars seem to be a recurring theme here at ZipZapZop… This time, I discover that these little Eastern Tent Caterpillar pests (there were literally thousands upon thousands of them here in May) are quite responsive to sound vibrations. It makes me wonder if perhaps some kind of audio mechanism would keep them away…

Okay. It's true: The Three Stooges collectively form part of my system of alter egos.

Bwah-hahahaha. "City Island" Blooper
Yes, we're getting really good tracks.
Yes indeed.
Many compromises and imperfections, but...it's all there (mostly).
Tired but satisfied.
Greek in proportion.

Excerpts from Dailies of City Island
And I can't help but think it's a really good thing that the production's sharing exquisite moments before the fact.
After only a week of production, the crew is of one mind about helping to make "City Island": it's gonna be a great little movie.
POST NOTE: added '&fmt=18' to the end of the YouTube url within the embed code in order to bring you a higher-resolution version of the footage.

Grace :: The Story of the Remote :: Dirty Joke
.:. Faux Press .:.
Learn to listen.
Here's a telling of "The Story of the Remote".
The image is from an earlier post wherein I show you part of the woman who speaks in this podcast
The upside of the dismal-looking and feeling foot situation is that she has a better way to flip her husband the bird.
She is my hero.
Her humor in the face of enormous pain astonishes and inspires.

Instant Documentary :: Behind-the-Scenes
The goal was to get as many of the crew on film as possible, in as little time, with as little trouble and as much fun, while creating a memorable souvenir of and for the people who made this film.
Clearly, everybody eventually had a really good time with the concept.
Please note that this is posted only for purposes of my reel.

One Elephant in the Room
News outlets should come to understand this concept, too.
Talk down to your audience at your own risk.
Thanks, Hugh.
Raise the barre or die.

The Binkie Interview
These young ladies made my summer mornings as special as special can be. Neither I nor any of my siblings have kids, so hanging out with my friends' kids daily if only for a little bit, for six weeks, was charming. Getting in touch with my 'auntie' self.
Aren't they lovely?
