Seven movies I would like to make (or at least start on) in the next year.
1) 3m20s silent film for this left-hand side thing.
2) Very short documentary "Patty Gets a Haircut."
3) The talked-about, then somewhat abandoned "[sic]."
4) A short (10- to 15-minute) documentary on someone's weird job.
5)"Girl and Tree." 6) 20-30 minute movie that I don't want to talk about quite yet.
7) Full-length Mike Leigh-esque film with a big musical number at the end (that includes a string quartet in the back of a pickup).
You would like to help me with these films? How kind! Here is how.
1') Give me an idea what this silent film should be about.
2') Opie, after you've seen the footage a couple of times, let me borrow it for a month so I can transfer it to MiniDV (which I can then edit in my computer).
3') Be patient while I figure out exactly how I want this to work.
4') Find me someone with a weird job.
5') Find me two actors within a 2-hour drive of Richmond who will work for the 56 cents I have in my pocket plus 13 percent of the gross.
6') I need a dolly for my camera. Buy me one.
7') Give me $4000.

If your name is Alexander, the e-mail address I have for you at Mergetel does not work. Please give me a proper one.

i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
