Here We Go

I picked up my SXSW badge this evening, and am now trying to stay warm and finish a script before the madness of the weekend sets in. We'll see what happens with St. Nick. I couldn't afford to print up posters or postcards, and I didn't send too many copies off to press. Will anyone come see it? I can't help but shoot myself in the foot sometimes, but I'm hoping that it somehow draws a crowd nonetheless, and that the folks who make up that crowd will talk about it. I want people to love it, I really do, but even more than that I hope that it just makes them feel something and that this something is a feeling they can't quite qualify. I don't know. Those are the types of films that I remember.

(But before that, there's the premiere of Joe's Alexander The Last, which is at long last finished. I was reading through the production journal we kept during the first leg of production; I can't believe that this little movie we made out of that apartment in Williamsburg is now getting raves from the New Yorker and Entertainment Weekly. And after that comes Kris' film It Was Great, But I Was Ready To Come Home, which we shot in Costa Rica in December, which I edited in Chicago in January and which at the last minute made a lot of people fall in love with it. I can't remember. And in between is my esteemed producer James M. Johnston's exceedingly dirty three-minute short, Receive Bacon, which is based on one of the funniest real-world sight gags I've ever seen.)

But now back to this script. We were supposed to have it to our producers over a week ago. There I go shooting myself again, and not just in the foot this time.
