Going It Alone

I finally got ahold of the guy who backed the movie and the first round of interviews. He says that money is tight for him right now.

"Wasn't this supposed to be done already?" He asked. Yeah, it would've been done, had it not been for the shootings. I think I have enough money to go this alone. My plan is to try and squeeze everything into Friday if I can. I know that my camera guy has reserved the camera, but I've been having a hard time getting ahold of him, too.

With that being said, I'm getting psyched about the next round of interviews as the day looms closer. I'm just hoping that the weather will change, because right now, Friday's not looking too good.

I finished the collection of the writer I'm hoping to make a documentary on next. The poems I think gave me a better perspective on her, and hopefully, they will be helpful is fleshing out the narrative further.

Finally, if anyone sees the junkie who broke into Craig Zobel's car, please direct him here.

I Feel Really Stupid About...

I watched the footage yesterday, what I have thus far. Hopefully today, I'll start cutting a short video to upload to YouTube to show on the IndieGoGo website. I hope people like it, and people pledge.

Watched Shotgun Stories last night. Whoa. Intense. Straight out of an Erskine Caldwell novel, two sets of half brothers living in Arkansas duke it out after their father dies. Things get ugly. Really ugly.

Want to know something really embarassing? Through some casual surfing my ITouch last night, I discovered that Craig Zobel was one of the creators of Homestar Runner. How did I not know that? The creator of The Great World of Sound (go rent!) was also the creator of Strong Bad. I never put two and two together. Here's me and Craig at this year's SXSW:

I'm off to the Workforce Office. Tomorrow I plan on going to Ithaca...looking for work again. You know, I wouldn't mind going back to work, but it would be nice to take a job somewhere else, or do something completely different.
