i’m sorry i always called you a creep on the internet.
you were also a sweetie pie.

If you happen to be in town this weekend, the Montreal World Film Festival is showcasing a bunch of coms work. Like Cinema L’Amour, for instance, which screens August 26th at 5pm at the NFB theatre downtown. I hear the sound design is really sexy.

On July 9th of last summer, Pete and I took off for Armenia and began shooting pilgrIMAGE. Thirteen months, 8000 dollars and more than a few slack offs later we logged our first tape. But on the bright side, it’s not like there’s some national broadcasting company expecting it to be on TV in less than three weeks.

Oh wait… There is.

Cinema du Parc is closing in three weeks! Apparently, the dollar cinema was more competition than they could handle. (Remember when it was 2,50$ for members and all they played was Atlantis and Throne of Blood and Harold & Maude?) In any case, they won’t be validating membership cards after August 3rd so we’d all better get cracking and check some of their final screenings out. They’ve got Michael Winterbottom’slatest “Road to Guantanamo” and Feuerzig’s psycho-doc “The Devil and Daniel Johnston”. Their last week of programming is kind of a “best of parc” which seems like it will be fun, too.

and so is this blog… or at least it will be soon enough.  sit tight.

November 30th – breathe in / December 16th – breathe out.

so I know it’s all I talk about these days, but if you’re into technicolor dream coats, then check out this flash animation by Gregor Ehrlich, cut to a telling of Joseph’s famous bible story by Jonathan Goldstein.
