Since my Miley Cyrus post that I spent all of 90 seconds on is still getting hits 

I figured a follow up would be apropos.

A Betrayed Inception

This is one of the very first projects that I've been involved with since it's inception which is a very rare thing and already I've been tasked with not only coming up with the first draft screenplay but also as the First Assistant Director.

Here is the teaser trailer followed by the kickstarter campaign to familiarize yourself with the project:

Gina returns from deployment only to find out that the biggest battle of her life - has just begun.

To ALL movie lovers! 

We have got a new short film like no other! 

It’s fresh, unique, and personal.

We have stated $5,000 as our goal because we want to make sure we reach it, but we are hoping to exceed the goal, because the reality of it is, with more funding we can make an even better film. When it comes to making a film, time is money. So, we are using the funds to do the following: to rent equipment, pay for permits, locations, insurance, post-production such as, sound, enhance the look of the film, music, and of course, the most important thing is to feed the cast and crew. With your support we will simply have a better movie.

And of course, there are risks involved in the making of any film, such as delays, setbacks or disappointments over the course of prepping for the movie, shooting and completing the movie. But, we as a strong filmmaking team we are confident that at the end we will come through, we will succeed and we will have a very awesome movie for ALL to enjoy!

Upon successful completion of the movie, we will submit to film festivals across the country, as this will allow for more people to see the film.

Thank you ALL in advance for your support and trust!

Jack Black Ouija Seance Surreality

Thee Jack Black Seance may perhaps be the most surreal experience I've ever had. But before I go into the details of this most surreal reality let me go back to shitty pipe dreams circa Summer of 2004.

The foul of our lord 2004 

was pretty much me stressing out about 

how to not lose my humble abode in the trailer park 

due to the fact that I had gotten outsourced from my job at SSI Tech 

in the cheese wiz utopia back in December and 

by the time summer rolled around my unemployment was basically cah-put.

my humble abode from October 2001 to April of 2007

But for whatever reason one of the movies that I remember well from that horrid summer of nothing is ever going to happen to me was 'School of Rock.' You know the one with thee Jack Black. Well I thought it was o.k. Still really don't care for that lame ass song they came up for the end cause I really didn't think it rocked all that hard considering that the rest of the movie did 

a fairly decent job of hard rockin. 

But it was the movie that made Jack Black a household name 

and then I would go on to realize I had seen him before else in other things. 

Most notably in 'Bob Roberts.'

As 2004 turned into 2013 I would slowly grow to admire Mr. Black. 

Most notably in King Kong and especially 

with Tenacious D and making squeeze box tolerable to listen to 

and I make it a point that whenever I'm at the Venice Beach Boardwalk 

I got thee D 

in my m p free player. 

So thee D 

was really starting to become the soundtrack to 

the beginning of my experiences here.

Onto the present day and I am completely blown away by him in 

the movie 'Bernie' 

and of course in Mount Super Fabulous fashion 'they' actually did an A and Que with Richard Linklater for it and I unfortunately missed a screening of it the night before at the holy fabulous Arclight where Black and Mcclain were actually there for the A and Que. 

Here is the Richard Linklater A and Que link that I was actually at:

Richard Linklater A and Que for Bernie

So, well, woe is me life, onward and upward I shall progress . . .

As thee pick of destiny would play out I was somehow destined to have an experience that featured me witnessing, in person, the following and what may be perhaps the most surreal experience of my existence:

Now when I lived in my trailer park home back in the cheese wiz utopia my shitty pipe dream would basically consist of me winning an oscar and mentioning 

how far removed it was from that trailer park existence. 

This may not be winning an oscar but for me this is an amazing example of living a life that I tend to question the sanity of whether it's actually going to start paying off anytime soon and the universe saying dude, it may not seem like it now, but it's totally worth it.

In the three years I've been here and to see my own progression this is 

one of those stand alone moments. 

And for a brief second, or two, or a few, 

I actually felt like I was back in that foul year of our lord 2004 

having a shitty pipe dream of a life that was way beyond my reach of possibilities . . .

Obama's affordable excuse

Today was a very interesting day, in that, I had to re-prioritize a project that I had been trying to get out of the developmental hell phase since July.

Unfortunately today was the day that I really thought was going to happen a month ago and my spot on intuition told me was going to happen as I approached the end of July as I was really starting to get a feel as to where priorities were but as Hollyweird projects go,  turned out that it was today so . . .

Here's to that moment when your only response is to say . . .

FUCK IT, 

WE'LL DO IT LIVE !!!

Well, at least the first part and that basically your left facing a wall of nothingness so you re-prioritize and re-think how from now on your approach is going to be a bit less of how one might say . . .

a priority 

and hope that your not stuck dealing with a dead fish with zero momentums or motivations and excuses of why something is just not possible cause you really tried to make it work with what you have or had or something ???

But anyways, here's a short clip of an idea that Jimmy Kimmel totally stole from me:

"There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results."
