the reckoning

i shoot my film this weekend. goodbye till mon! i'll be sure to have some stills of my beautiful actresses sunbathing on an amazing rooftop under the bk bridge. xo till then ps i love this song. not sure how to stream it on here right now, maybe later but here's the link Robert Wyatt's Just As You Are its my newest inspiration. reminds me of cassavettes

R.I.P. SIMON

one of the most loving creatures i've ever met.

good health

HEALTH is officially one of my new favorite bands. so so good. i guess last nite was the last official mall appearance. it was sad. they're amazing. the kids here go crazy for them.

ps i love sf reunions. i invite you personally to come.

plotting and waiting

we're in what's called "production period" through November 12th. It's been cool so far, except a few set backs here and there. I was the director of photography on the first film we just finished last weekend. basically, our class is broken into several crews of 5 or 6 and each of the crew members make their film with the rest of the peeps as crew. dp'ing was pinche stressful, especially because it was film. i could have done a better job (i think) if it was video, but i guess that's obvious. the thing that started stressing me out was exposure and focus, the two most important things a dp should be exact with.
right now i'm doing preproduction for my shoot thats happening on the 27th and 28th of oct. OMG. i have great actresses though and i think its going to be ok. plus, dave's gonna be the ill craft service/pa guy. the only issue is locations - i've had a hard time getting permission for a restaurant front and for this roof top. so, we're gonna sneak the rooftop which is a scary thing. i would hate to get kicked off mid-shoot.

ANYWAYS this is the town i want to visit asap. VALPAIRISO, CHILE

Non Abita Più Qui

wish you were here!
