Next Week

Hey everyone. The number of people that showed up for Friday's meeting was simply pathetic. Four. Come on, guys. I told you all that I would have some of the script for you all to look at and we get the lowest output club history. We need to step it up if we want to finish this thing on time.

Art Show, Sunday March 25th

One Congress Place

111 Congress Av.

Time: 1-3 pm.

Check it out. I have a piece in it as do our other friends. Taylor and I will be discussing aspects of the script to pass the time, so if you see us, pop on over for a sec., eh?

Also, A Dog's Breakfast. We are so close to getting a screening here! Mr. Hewlett and I have been in talks and we just need more people to Request A Screening. Of course, I've had over fifty people tell me that they'll get right on it, but at the moment, it has been more action than talk. If ADB came to Austin, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime (for many of us) chance to really ask questions about the different aspects of Independent Filmmaking, the business, hardships/values/victories, etc. that I am sure would be very educational to all of us.

And speaking of educational, David has written a short article with some great jewels of wisdom, so check it out: http://digg.com/movies/No_market_for_first_time_filmmakers

Here is also a O&A that is most enlightening...and really funny ^^;: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ33gdySoQ0

You can watch the very beginning of it here, but once they start asking questions I would switch back to the former link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAgJjOVKJdc

Sooo, yeah. There will be a meeting on Monday to go over the first installment of the script. Two 'sketches' happen to be on Flower's computer as I typed them up on the plane to Rep. of Georgia (when my eyes were blurring from exhaustion and lack of sleep, but that I had promised myself that I would finish typing up what I had written before I would allow myself to rest...), so I may not have that by Monday -working on it-.

Now, if you've actually been reading this blog, please post a comment. I would like to know if I'm wasting my time and looking back at previous posts, it surely is leaning in that direction.

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow is Friday, folks, and you know what that means? Meeting time! *yay* I've written up a couple of sketches/predicaments and will have them for you all to read.

Many of you have been asking about my trip to the Republic of Georgia and I am here to tell you that I am in the process of compiling and sifting through all of our 3200+ pictures and countless hours of footage in order to make a really cool presentation for anyone interested. I will be showing it at one of the film club meetings after it is complete, so be sure to check in here once in a while to catch the date I'll be showing it!

Also, is anyone going to McDonald Observatory with Astronomy Club from March 29th to April 1st? I want to film it and was wondering if I had an extra camera hand to literally "give me a hand" *har dee har*. If you are, please comment. Thanx!

While we're gone...

Alright, kiddies. Jacob, Christina, Laura and I will be off on a 'Location Shoot' in the Republic of Georgia until the 19th of March *wink*. And you know what that means? It means that you can check up on us at
[http://www.republicofgeorgiatrip.blogspot.com/]!!! (oh, my!)

So, while we're gone, I really do need people to do a little bit of Location shooting back here. Go to your nearest hotel (or one that you happen to be passing) and take pictures of the elevator and the lobby. At least ten pictures of the interior/exterior. Don't forget to snap a few of the ceiling and the floor as well as the buttons. And feel free to take a ride as a reward ;D

I will still have email, so feel free to drop a line or message me your finds. We will not have our cell phones and I'm sure Flowers would go through with his promise to sell Jacob and me to Chetchnia if I gave you all his. So, email is the best idea for everyone involved ^_^;

Have a fantastic Spring Break, don't forget to totally rock at SXSW and, most importantly, if you have not yet requested a screening at http://www.adogsbreakfastmovie.com/ for Austin...well, let's just say those Georgian sword dancers might give me a few ideas...>) *innocent smirk*

New Members

Welcome Deanna, Chelsea and Glen to our humble little Film Club! Glad to have you ^^.

If anyone is going to SXSW in the next week, please take lots of pictures and bring your video cameras to capture all the excitement. Ironically (and demmed unfortunate, too), I will be in the Republic of Georgia for the festival and will be unable to attend. That is why we need our Field Agents to go out and capture it all for me...er, for Film Club. Yeah, that's it ;D

Also, don't forget to check out www.adogsbreakfastmovie.com, make an account and Request A Screening for Austin, Texas! We ALL want this movie to come to town, eh?! >)

...Also:
I want this so badly as well ;D

Caption reads : (because even a fake show deserves fans)

Tomorrow...

I should be doing homework right now, but WWI will still be there by the time I'm finished with this post ;D Tomorrow and for the rest of this week, Film Club will be meeting before school to discuss points and ideas on the email I sent out and to which many of ya'll have been kind enough to message back -loving pat on head-. I have not been able to give them the attention and deeply concentrated thought I usually put into everyone's replies, but I have read them all over. Be prepared for the rest of the week, please. But, if you need to go to another club during the week before school, by all means do not let me keep you.

I want one...

So...who wants to buy me one? *heart*

This Morning's Meeting

Hey everyone. I'm sorry if I can't make it to this morning's meeting. As some of you may have heard, my Uncle has just passed away. We're all scurrying to make funeral arrangements and I had to make everything ready this morning for my Aunt, who's flying down today. So, that's what's up, if anyone was wondering why I missed the beginning of school yesterday and possibly the meeting today. I hope everything will go well (but I'm sure it will with Ian at the helm, Mr. Get-it-Done, who has every right to tell me to get my rear in gear). -ha ha-

I will hopefully be able to talk to you all seperately today during school.

ALSO: Everyone auditioning for Julian's 'Outbreak', that is TODAY after school. Don't miss it if you are interested.

COUNTDOWN TO REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA: 8 more days!!!

Film Club~~!

Hey everyone. I thought it would be prudent to have a Film Club blog that's simple to use and even simpler to get to. This is just a preliminary post so that I could have something up there until I get a chance to post everything up. Feel free to comment here!!!

I have begun to type up a rough draft for our 'ELEVATOR' short. It is very important for you all to respond to the email I sent out.

Also, do not forget to check out http://www.adogsbreakfastmovie.com, request a screening and make an account! I know everyone here would absolutely have a blast if it came to Austin.

Our meeting tomorrow will be all about the short so come prepared with ideas and a general overview of your schedules for the month. Thanks.
