I will get back to original posts soon (probably when I have a week off in two weeks!), but here’s something that everyone should try to do more often.

More professionalism: Rejection
Today I received my first rejection e-mail (I wanted to say letter so badly) from a film festival.
Maybe it’s my schedule or maybe it’s the fact that I’m still waiting to hear from another film festival, but it’s not really effecting me in any deep way. I know that I’ll be seeing a lot of rejection. I’m starting at this super young, perhaps earlier than I...

It's the Small Things
I would like to do more with this Tumblr, but I’m finding it pretty difficult to find time for myself with my current work schedule. According to my recent quiz scores, I’m also having a hard time finding the proper time for classes.
But, I digress. I’m here to rejoice with you, internet friends! Two of my shorts are now on IMDB!
Yes, I now have something in common with...

Is this Goddess DVD really as bad as the one... →
Does anyone know for sure? I find the commenter’s statements questionable because, well, there aren’t subtitles. It’s a silent film with cards with the dialogue and story elements throughout the film (as I recall).
Love the film, but if the transfer is terrible, it’s not worth owning, is it?
So, if anyone can help me out, that’d be cool.

Six Hours of Sleep is not Sleep Deprivation
True! I was sleepy, though. Very sleepy.
One of my favorite set of sentences that I wrote in the first draft are as follows:
“Mayhew is an alcoholic. He’s violence.”
Six hours felt like sleep deprivation to me because I’m rather anal about sleep. I’m an early-ish riser, but I require a certain amount of sleep. I get tense over it. This is why starting a...

Coen Bros & Bechdel: Barton Fink
A strange thing happened last night. A friend of mine came across the youtube video series known as “Marble Hornets.” We watched every single video that has been made to this date, which took us to 1 AM. I still had work to do (and, quite frankly, I was a little paranoid, as the series is pretty decent) and I didn’t end up in bed until 2 AM. I had to wake up at 8 this morning.
In this sleep...
