Talking Indies in my Undies

Hi friends. This is an update on some film stuff I'm doing and a solo discussion on the "Open Screen" event at The Birdhouse in Knoxville.   

I speak with Michael Samstag (festival director of the newly announced Scruffy City Film and Music Festival) about the changes expected for next year, including the decision to discontinue the Knoxville 24 hour film festival after a 5 year run.  Get some.

I recently released a music video for Divided We Stand called "Saboteur." As I began to think about the creativitiy behind images inspired directly by music, I grabbed a mic, but kept it brief. Youtube link to music video http://youtu.be/l9xwFe0X2Pw

There will be a total of 9 episodes. I am cleaning audio and coloring. 

Somehow our Day's and Episodes have gotten out of wack. Anyway, I learned that I have an extra 24 hours to complete the film. Picture is locked and being scored by Jared Colinger currently.

I'm editing.

The weather forced a script change. So we did that. We shot the movie today.  Mike Stanley, Shelly Bryant, and Austin Webb collaborated as actors as we shot this adventure movie in Lenoir City, TN.

Things take a strange turn as I return to square one, come up with a new plan, and become sleep deprived. Visited my friends at Temple Dance night, and came home and I'm now talking to you. The shoot begins tomorrow. 

Had to give a shout out to J.C. Ratliff on this. Still speculating on what movie to make...

Day 2 of the 7 Day Film competition is underway. I'm still trying to come up with an idea to shoot... Trying to shoot a No-Budget 7 short film in 7 days. It's kinda working so far.

Just got back from the kick off of Knoxville Film Festival's 7 Day shootout. This is day one of the competion updates.

Let's talk the Knoxville 7 day shootout, but let's keep it brief.
