Where have you been?


I was going to write about Bionic Woman, but Ken Levine pretty much summed it up.

I still haven't had a chance to watch the rest of the pilots because some things happened and then there was stuff going on and now I'm subbing for a friend of mine while she takes most of her classes on a stupid field trip that is annoying her very much. But the time I was going to spend watching all the pilots I am instead spending my day relaxing and watching important episodes.

Then I was going to write about the dream I had where I blew my mom's head off while telling her I loved her, but I don't feel like reliving that right now.

So I guess I'll just elicit some stories from the gallery. Yesterday I started looking up various festivals I'd like to submit the short to. Of course we'll be doing all the big ones because I dream big, but since my chances of getting into Sundance are less than stellar (although I do have some fantasies about premiering at Cannes on my birthday), what else is there? La Film Festival? Cinevegas? Anybody had any good experiences with any of the smaller festivals? I don't want to submit to any of those ghetto fundraising things that suck.

And yes, I know I'm months from my finished product, but I enjoy planning ahead.

  3. For my money the only festivals worth submitting to are the Academy Awards qualifiers, which can be found here: http://www.oscars.org/79academyawards/rules/rules_shortfest.html

    Of course, if you get an invite from a festival and you can talk them into footing your travel bill then who's to argue with a free vacation?

  4. I've been to CineVegas twice and had a great time. Morning: coffee with filmmakers (they do a lot of Q&A stuff). Afternoon: movies - the perfect place to be in Vegas during hot summer days. Night: Parties!!! I saw John Ritter there shortly before he died. Hunter S. Thompson too.

Please leave a name, even if it's a fake name. And try not to be an asshole.
