Infant mortality rate

From 1969 to 1979 the rate of infants under 28 days old who died went from 17% to 8%. This figure has taken another 30 years to now hover at around 6%. What this means is that in the year I was born there was a 50% decrease in number of children that were saved from mortality. I was one of these children. Perhaps if I was 10 years earlier this would not have been the case?

Spent a week in Chicago shooting the 4th Season of Young American Bodies. It was my first time being there in the summer, what a lot of fun. Got a chance to take a swim in Lake Michigan, saw the new modern wing at the art institute and found a bar that serves Charturse.

I’m in LA working on a new flick by the brilliant T. Arthur Cottam–creator of the sleeper gem Carbuncle.

The new film is called Objects and is the first feature of T’s to delve a bit deeper in the twisted yet perfectly poignant mind of Mr Cottam.

More to come…

Vent op de bank!

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 Jones piece is a pretty good read.

Honestly.

Maryland, Maryland!

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.
