I cannot wait to make my first film.
The rest of the world CAN-
however I have been totally inspired by this short which was created by Nick Terry so I may go ahead and take those screenwriting workshops that my friend Max Teaches.
How to Make Your Own Film (Or Die Trying)
This video was created by students here in Washington State at Shorecrest High School for a Video Production Class.
(Shorecrest High School a public high school in Shoreline, Washington (grades 9 through 12). Shorecrest was founded in 1961 and its mascot is Otis the Fighting Scot, and students refer to themselves as “Scots,” or the “Highlanders,” a reference to the Clan Gordon. Shorecrest is one of the two high schools in the Shoreline School District.)
The video was well done, the choice of the song was excellent-
however
the way they tied it together and told a story?
It’s pure youtube magic
so check it out and
ENJOY
and pass it on if the spirit moves you to do so…
which I’m sure it will.
a.m.
This video is produced by the Shorecrest video department. It is directed by Nathan Kartchner and Cody Will-Braton, James Huffman as creative consultant Director of photography and Steadicam operation by Kollin O’Dannel.
Don’t panic.
This is not a charity thing.
This is a job thing and my friend Max
really, really wants it;
If she makes it- and you can play a part here
she can become
A writer in residence at a winery and I’m not making this up.
So this is how it works.
Her application is a Mini-Movie and to be considered for the position she has to win votes.
This is how you can help.
First you watch her Mini Movie
Once you are there you vote for her Mini-Movie.
Now this is the tricky part.
Go to your e-mail and confirm you voted – if you don’t do that your vote won’t count.
Remember Florida?
Well, we don’t want issues like that to pop up here so after you vote scoot over to your e-mail box and confirm your vote.
Now.
You may be wondering why I’m campaigning for Max.
All joking aside, she has teaches writing Screenwriting Classes and from what I’ve learned she’s fair and tough and cares about the Craft and I respect her for that.
That is the truth.
Oh
and
by the way
Did I mention she’ll post a picture of herself in a bikini on her blog if she wins?
Hey.
It’s a talking point.
In fact it’s the only talking point.
And when you’re in campaign mode you have to stick to those suckers- it’s a rule.
Now
VOTE VOTE VOTE
FOR MAX!
!And tell your friends!

This is a commercial.
In the first one he’s a scientist who gets hit with a fish, in the second he plays the same character and shows up with a clipboard AND A BEARD!).
Oh.
And he helped write it-
God help us all.
ps…i just figured out how my truck got those dents in the hood and on the roof…geeze kid…if it turns up in one of these things you are SO going to have to buy me an expensive gift.
VERY EXPENSIVE.
( for real Diego, I’m proud of you- for standing true to what you do and for being your own man…even if it involves getting hit with fish and sticking it on youtube
love from Mom …and Pops of course….)

aka
Mr. David Tennant
okay…in this interview he talks , but like anybody LISTENS…I mean I just watch his mouth move…but really, he seems interesting enough

A Voice From Snohomish County, Washington
calling for change
amm
Lyrics:
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics…they will only grow louder and more dissonant ……….. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea –
I write a lot about Bruce Campbell and David Tennant– in my opinion ( and this is my blog so…) they are the only two actors worth writing about.
That is until Tom and his Best Buddy the Church of Scientology flew staight into my face and mashed against my skull like a bug on a windshield.
Okay.
This is what I think about Tom Cruise and Scientology.
Tom Cruise- I work near a mental health clinic – they are very discreet and the people who work there are wonderful. They are giving and kind and practical, the well being of their clients are paramount to them.
For the love of all that is good, make an appointment with them. You and that guy who stands on the corner by my bus stop and sings hyms and leaves offerings of food to the Gods Dwell In The Abandon Hotel can go together.
FYI Tom I’ve just noticed that the guys ears are bleeding so make your call them pronto- the clinic guys, not the Gods In The Hotel
And to the Scientology Attorneys who have sent Cease and Desist letters to the websites showing this video…all I can say is Homeland Security, NASA the Pentagon and a local law enforcement agency have been to my blog alone…so bring it on big boys- I will be more then glad to show my support to any provider who shows this clip.
Now here is a link to a news story – there are no pictures of men in black or the Outer Limits or Twilight Zone theme playing in the background- I’m guessing because it wouldn’t fit.
Does anyone know the theme to ” One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest”?
Click the link below to:
okay I couldn’t resist…here’s the
South Park Take On Scientology.
This was actually a comment but needs it’s own post…so please check it out and follow the links- I’m not sure why everyone who partcipated in this fun community event were excluded from sharing in the fun….but that SUX.

I am one of 200 volunteers who appeared in the winning Springfield Vermont video. After we won, our local Chamber of Commerce turned its back on us. They excluded us from the premiere, giving our seats to the elite in town instead. And not even a thanks or mention of us in the public ceremony outside the theater. Read more about it and check out some of the sights and sounds of premiere day at our new website:
http://vtvid.110mb.com
This non-profit website was created by and being maintained by Edwin Fransen of North Springfield, Vt. The main reasons for creating it are:
1. To give some proper credit to the video volunteers mentioned above who seemed to be forgotten by the media and community leaders once our video entry was submitted and voting begun.
2. To serve as a one-stop link to all the photos, video, audio and many written materials currently on the internet related to the filming of our video, the winning of the contest and finally our big event, world premiere day of The Simpsons Movie on July 21, 2007. In time, as these files begin to be withdrawn from the internet, we hope to get permission to actually host copies here and preserve them as part of the town’s history.
3. To be a source of information on the Town of Springfield, Vt. for tourists and anyone possibly interested in moving here. The Springfield Regional Chamber of Commerce already has this base covered on their website but I hope to offer additional information and links not found on their site. This will be in a separate non-Simpsons section of the website.
I will also include some Simpsons cartoon character content not related to Springfield, Vt. Images I may come across on the internet particularly amusing, interesting or different. But since there are already over 100 websites on the internet about the Simpsons run by devoted fans, I don’t feel any need to spend a lot of time building one more large online collection of Simpsons images and humor.
