I am a contributor to the next brain child of my hodge-podge posse. It’s a film Project called As The Dust Settles, and it will be made at Burning Man.

Somehow my face ended up in the bargain bin at a Dutch bookstore. Luckily my friend Otto liberated it and spread the good news to me. Aside from the tite of the Translation, ‘Bastard on the couch,’ I hear the Daniel Johnson piece is a pretty good read.

Honestly.

We will be screening at the Rhode Island International Film Festival this weekend.

When: Saturday, August 9th, 7pm
With: Hakim and Leaving Barstow
Where: Cable Car Sinema, 204 S. Main St. Providence, RI

We’re in Baltimore with Happy New Year, a festival that likes and spotlights the short form. Last night’s opening night Program was a collection of great short pieces; it made for a refreshing opening night, inspired interaction between the audience, filmmakers and festival organizers. Before their film, each filmmaker came up to rap with Barry Levinson and made fun of the brevity of each celebrated piece.

I’m on a panel today at 3:00, and head to the theater at 5:00 for our screening. The sun is out, I’m gonna stand in it.

Our little movie makes some waves today on Arianna Huffington’s little news machine.

Here’s the madness from the Siman Mobile Disco show in Austin at Southby!
