Found and was captivated by this film in late June, well before I knew the estimable Vanja Cernjul would be lighting Raymond's "City Island" movie. When I asked Vanja what project he was most proud of having lit, he said it was "Wristcutters". Synchronicity. [source] Tags: Faux Press Art Metaphrasty

Hello from the Sound Department from Jan McLaughlin on Vimeo. Shozu auto-crossposts cellphone-created videos to Vimeo for me. Very nice-looking, and a different kind of community than the YouTube, to which Shozu also automatically uploads cellphone videos on my behalf. The downside? Tougher to keep track of overall hits. I don't personally care that much, but marketers and advertisers do. My guess is that in social media terms, responses count more than hits. I like what Hugh McLeod has to say about social objects. What are the social objects of a film-in-progress? What are "City Island" social objects? Perhaps audio, video & stills form a part of those objects. I would love to get Jeff Pulver to do some stories about "City Island" blogging efforts. My guess is there are 'concerns' among the beautiful intensity. Of course there are. It's the bleeding edge of the digital now. A Pulver breakfast @ "City Island" could rock for everyone. Insert brief PRAYER. [Vimeo] Tags: Faux Press Art Metaphrasty

.:. Faux Press .:. Cait and Chas are getting toasted in heaven together. Count on it.Also, for Raymond K. _____ POST NOTE: Re-vlogging this because I m a fan of Raymond, who s a fan of Emily, and I m a fan of Emily s dad, who wrote the first comedy-for-the-page that made me laugh out loud. Found John Mortimer courtesy of my maternal grandfather, whom I loved, and who loved Mortimer s humor. I m also a fan of Hugh MacLeod who turned me on to Young Adam, one of my favorite films, and in which Ms. Mortimer appears.

Worked with composer Robert Miller on "Happy Tears" recently. While setting up a Google clipping service for the film, found Mikael Carlsson's site Upcoming Film Scores, where he mentions Miller and the fact that he scored two other films on which I've worked: "Trumbo" and "The Caller". Have not intersected much with composers before, but because Rip's "Happy Tears" character might have had to learn to sing and play a Miller tune, we spoke and emailed back and forth on technical issues for a while. Gratifying to learn that this is not the first time we've worked on the same projects. Small world. "Trumbo" is in New York and Los Angeles theaters starting June 27, 2008 - check HERE for show times. Based on what I've seen, it's something well worth seeing.

Makes me cry. Experimenting with iMovie's export for iTunes. No frills. It copied the file into the iTunes directory as well as left a copy in the movies folder. Not too bad.

.:. Faux Press .:. Wee Meg s going to be invited into the house so Dad will have an indoor pet pal by next winter. As soon as he figures out how he can have her in and out without messing up the floor with muddy paw prints, etc.Meg s is a barely-contained glee.I aspire to that. The border collies always bunked in the kennels until a favorite - Glen - began to lose his eyesight, and they brought him inside until his passing. Then Moss too was brought in for his retirement days. She s one of the most loving dogs he s ever had, with a sunny disposition sure to boost Pop s spirits, much as Mom s Pipsqueak cat has done for her.

.:. Faux Press .:. CUSS WORD ALERT.Documenting an idea of masculinity.This is the version of masculinity upon which I was weaned.It informed my life for decades.Now, I challenge it intellectually if not in my heart. I'm torn. Having rejected this way of being masculine intellectually, my heart knows not what it wants. Ironic that we had gathered together as a family to speak of drinking and drugging.Ultimately, we are each responsible for our behaviors, no matter what history or experience informs those behaviors. The past is not explored or given as excuse, but explanation / exploration toward understanding, and understanding toward forgiveness and change.Change for the bertter? Damn straight.I told a friend of mine about the intervention we'd hoped to initiate.His first question was, "Was anyone hurt?" Thankfully, I was able to tell him, "No."He then related the story of how in 1991 his sister had been murdered and brother crippled by a 3-strike drunk driver. Brought some things home.This is serious business, bro.My brother, I love you. Please don't kill anybody. I beg you. Get some fucking help.Dad & his pals were lucky.Your luck's not that good. We know this.Times have changed.DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE, motherfucker.DON'T FUCKING DO IT.

Play the mp3 From Christopher Lydon's Open Source Radio, a history and analysis of new and old media by one of my media heroes, Jay Rosen, including an important meditation on the nature of objectivity and why objectivity became important to news. Plenty of food for thought in this podcast. Thanks, Mr. Lydon and Mr. Rosen. Well done. [source] [mp3] [Rosen's Blog] [Open Source Radio RSS Feed] Tags: Faux Press Road Node 101
