One foot in Austin
So I arrived in Austin on Saturday to do a week's worth of work at the Austin School of Film, helping them with promotion and scheduling. I always have a good time working with Karl and Anne, coming up with ideas for new classes and ways of getting butts into seats for our existing classes.
I watched the latest version of Bryan's short, now called Grammy's, and then on Sunday we went through it together and did a polish on the editing. Also hung out with good friend Chris Doubek. He's in a short film that is apparently playing in the largest short film festival in Europe, Claremont-ferrand Short Film Festival. I shot a short with him over the Christmas holiday that I'm getting more and more excited about as I begin to edit it. It's a strange idea that I don't want to say too much about here and now. It was an experiment in process and content and may only be interesting to me, but that's fine. It's a movie I'd want to see.
I lucked into a ticket to see David Lynch's new film Inland Empire at the Parmount Theater on Wednesday night. It's 3 hours long with an hour long Q&A with Lynch afterward. BP, who has already seen it, says it's a mind-hole-f%@k. Can't wait!
