I said there would be some new footage by now.  As you can see there isn’t any.  I lie a lot.  I did write something though that I’m pretty pleased with.
I just got done watching the finale of Dexter.  Ho-ly shit.  Words cannot describe how good it was.  I’m going to bring this up, because I love Jennifer Carpenter, but that scene with her and Michael C. Hall where they are talking was one of many absolutely amazing scenes.  I know I seem to kiss her ass a lot on this blog, but she is fucking phenomenal.  I read a tweet by SHO_Dexter that they should just give John Lithgow the Emmy right now.  They really should.  Everyone who’s seen that show would probably be absolutely fine with that.  OK, I’m going to stop.  I hate the fact that I have to wait so long for a new season.  That ending was an absolute shock.  OK, I’m stopping.  While I could write a whole page just on Jennifer Carpenter, I think this is enough.
It’s tough for me to concentrate after that show but I’ll do my best.  My new script still needs to be revised, but I like it so far.  I’m going to try and commit some time to it every day.  I hold on to projects for way too long.  Or I lose interest or something and start working on something else.  See, I’m OCD and ADD at the same time.  I’m OCD about film making and stuff and I’m obsessed with it.  But my ADD makes it so I constantly get really excited about the next idea.  Only I’m not done with the first idea, so it doesn’t really work.  I need to focus on one project from now on.  Or maybe I just need to write constantly to keep up with myself.  I suppose that couldn’t be a bad thing. 
In other news, Do Nice Guys Finish Last got a fully operational IMDB page:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1561452/
They listed me as a stunt coordinator.  OK, whatever, sure, I’m a stunt coordinator.  It’s also listed as being in Post production.  Nope, it’s done.  Chris is on there and so is Caine.  If you go to my IMDB page, I now have two films listed there.  I’ve hit the big time now people.  It’s all smooth sailing from here.  In all seriousness, it’s kind of cool, but that’s about it.  It does sort of add to my legitimacy though.  I’ve had conversations like this before:
“So, you do short films?”
“Yeah.”
“What kind of short films?”
“Mostly comedies.”
“really?”
“Yeah, I’m on IMDB and everything.”
“O my God!  Really?!”
I don’t know why, but that’s sort of how it is.  Almost like they thought I lied to them or something.  I’m not a liar, it’s bullshit. 
Note: See title of blog.

Still plugging away at the festivals.  I’ve sent it out to five so far.  The last one was sent to Australia.  I thought that was kind of exciting.  I sent it to something called The Sexy International Film Festival.  A festival that focuses around sex and relationships.  I swear to God, they have a festival for every thing.  I’ve seen festivals focused around dogs, cats, homosexuality, ethnicity, religion, the environment, racism, sexism, and many other isms.  At least a sex theme festival is something that’s generally loved by the public.  Who doesn’t like sex of some sort?  Since DNGFL had to make a long trek to Australia, that required a visit to the local US Post Office.  Could there be a worse run organization without it just completely collapsing on itself?  There was this lady there who said they were holding a package for her.  Apparently they keep all of the packages in a giant disorganized pile in the back room.  Brilliant idea during the holidays by the way.  So, the attendant had to go to the back like 4 times to look through everything.  Each time she came back she told the lady “It’s not back there.”  After the fourth time, she found it and gave it to her, so the line could move forward.  I laughed out loud when I saw this.   Here’s the scary part about this though.  These are all government employees.  Essentially these are the same brand of people that RUN OUR COUNTRY.  You know how when you walk up to a postal worker behind that little window and they look like they should have committed suicide like a week ago?  Just how miserable they are and how much they don’t give shit if you get what you want or not?  It’s kind of funny if you really think about it.  Despite all of that DNGFL is on it’s way to Australia.  The reason I bring this up is that while in the post office I started thinking of a comedy revolving around the Post Office, but it quickly turned in to a drama involving suicide and drug abuse.  I bet I could turn that in to a comedy.  Overdosing can be funny if you shoot it right.  The movie Dear God has kind of an up beat theme to it, but after my experience yesterday I can assure you that it was %100 fiction.  It’s about a con man turned postal worker that decides to try and scam people that have written letters to God.  He inadvertently ends up helping them and when the other postal employees catch wind of this, they decide they want to help people too.  Hilarity ensues from this point on.  It’s kind of indication that the post office sucks based on the fact that they need the power of almighty God, just to turn it in to a feel good environment. 
All of that aside, this Saturday me, Caine, and possibly Chris are going to get together this weekend to shoot something.  So, I might just have some new short films up.  Nothing super fancy, but they might be funny.  Caine is funny, that’s pretty much all I have working for me right now.  Neither of us has written a script or thought anything out at all really.  All we know is that we’re going to have a camera, it’s going to be day time, and we are going to shoot something.  I’m stealing an idea from Six Finger Fist here, but what ever.  If anyone wants to give us a title for this new short film, leave it in the comments, and we’ll base our short film off of that title.  Why not, right?
