Blog This TV
OK, so it’s been a while since I last blogged. What been going on in my life, you ask? Well, first off, I got a brand spankin’ new computer. 2.4 Ghz dual processor Pentium with 2 gigs of RAM and a 500 gig hard drive. In other words, if it had wings, it would fly. And it’s pertinent uses would not just be exclusive to killer gaming, but also faster and better movie making.
Speaking of which, I’m on to a few projects already this summer. First off would be “Gangster’s Guilt,” the new short film from L.D. Taylor that deals with violence in urban communities. The film tells of one man’s struggle to raise a daughter in Oakland as a single father who escaped the gang life, and another man’s struggle to escape the gang life and get a career. How will they both end up? Can both men manage to live life without getting caught in the crossfire? You’ll have to see, once we get this thing finished.
Another project which I’ve just started on this week is a ketchup commercial which I’m entering into a contest on Youtube. I’m hoping that this one will fare better than the last time I entered a Youtube contest. Also, I’ll be filming a commercial this Saturday for a trucker drink, the name of which I haven’t been told yet. It’ll be a good chance for some exposure though. I’ve also heard that a commercial I helped with for the COM film program recently premiered on Novato public access. How exciting is that, to get your work shown on TV?
And lastly, here’s something else fun to mention. Last night, I attended a sneak preview of “Into the Wild,” a new film directed by Sean Penn telling the true story of a young man’s journey living wild in the two years after his graduation from college. Having grown up in a family with no love, Christopher McCandless grew to despise the world established around him and chose to live as a drifter, not being able to integrate with the world around him. The movie was pretty good, but that wasn’t the cool part. The cool part was meeting Sean Penn afterward and getting to shake his hand and congratulate him on a fine job. I’m not the kind of guy who breaks down when he meets famous actors because I realize that they’re just people too. But that was still cool.
More to update soon, but not after I shovel seven more tons of dirt and rocks from my backyard as my new summer job to pay off my computer. I haven’t done it in days, yet my hands are still sore. That’s work, children.
