Do you miss anyone right now?
A:Aren’t we all missing someone? Or are we just missing ourselves?
I was going to buy a skateboard this weekend and ride around listening to MXPX, but instead I registered for Improv 101.
Only time will tell if this was the right decision.

Somehow, this got stuck in my head.
The Hard Truth: Filmmaking Is Not A Job
#
Excerpts:
-“Unfortunately if I sought to get compensated for the work I do, my movies would not get made. If I sought to get paid like normal people are, I never would have been able to produce any of my films.”
-“We live to work, we should not have to work to live — but we do & maybe it is because most don’t realize part one. Reading in The New York Times how 37% of Americans between the ages of 18 -29 are not in the work force, makes me wonder if they are all becoming producers.”
-“I am not endorsing the practice of exploiting people for their labor. Yet, I support people making the choice of using their labor, albeit not at it’s proper value, to deliver the culture they want.”
-“Maybe first though, all of us need to demonstrate that we value and want a diverse and dynamic culture. Maybe we need to work a little harder letting those values be known. We need to show that there are communities throughout this land that love ambitious film and will vote with their time, labor, and dollars to bring it to their friends and neighbors. Paying artists directly for their work will go a long way to making filmmaking a legitimate option when it comes to choosing how to earn a living in this country.”

I am in the right place
Have you ever had the feeling that where you are is exactly the place you need to be and the people around you are exactly the type of people you should be surrounded by and you just feel that what you are doing is the absolute best thing in the world you could possibly be doing because it is exactly what makes you happy?
That’s how I felt at UCB today.
I was so excited to be part of Our Footloose Remake. Working on this with the brothers at Ghostlight was one of the hardest things I’ve ever shot. All over one night—every practical effect, every new set up—it nearly killed us. You can see the sun just starting to rise on the final shot.
But we pulled it off. I’m very proud of this. For reference, this is Scene 53 from from Footloose—the climactic scene where Ren and Willard finally confront their bully tormentors.
With Nick Clark, Evan Gaustad, Matt Wyatt, Will Hutson, Dan Kent, Brendan Joyce, Eric Toms, Hesley Harps, and Jessica Thompson. Cinematography by James Codeglia. Camera assistance by Brad Conlin. Editing by Dave Codeglia. VFX by Ghostlight.
Special thanks to Dave Seger for including us in the Footloose fun. And of course to Rob for the blessings.
Watch the original Footloose scene here for context.
When Chris showed this to me a few months ago, I think my jaw hit the floor of his office. Watch it. It’s amazing.
This was by far my favorite scene in the footloose remake. WHICH BY THE WAY WILL BE SCREENING IN BOSTON IN THE NEAR FUTURE…

An excerpt from Steve Martin’s Let’s Get Small
Steve Martin is one of my greatest influences. I was dissapointed when I heard he was a dick.
Halo ads make me want to play Halo.

This is flat out amazing. An interactive video that works very well with the song and is beautiful to watch. Click on the link and check it out. It’s nice to see someone using the internet’s power for something like this.
This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen on the internet.
