Someday I'll Breathe Again

I'm never sick this long. Never. I picture my immune system as a 6'4" ripped dude carrying a baseball bat with nails sticking out of it. Named Diesel. I've never bothered to ask if Diesel is his name or the bat's name. Wouldn't be polite. Or safe. (BTW, Diesel came along way before Vin Diesel, so he's got dibs.)

Yesterday I dragged my best friend out to Boston for the premiere of Razor Man, a movie by Keto Shimizu. She directed Threads after this movie. Last night they held a screening at the AMC Loews on the Boston Common. I was really excited to see it. The trailer on the site was what initally convinced me to audition for Threads in the the first place. I also wanted to see what they were able to do with all that 16mm techno-gadgetry they have. I'm more than glad to say it was a success on nearly every level. I never asked about the story or any particulars so I could see it with a fresh eye. The shots were beautiful, the framing was amazing, the story really worked for a short. Not too complex, but not too simple either. It leaves you room to make a lot of your own answers. The actors did a great job. It makes me super excited to see the next batch of flicks, cause I'm in 'em.

Speaking of which, there is a teaser trailer online! The movie I did last week, Cillian, was shot on Canon XL2's with 35mm adapters. You can find it here, under "Selected Works." That's me in the suit.

Other than that, nothing of note has happened. Haven't heard about the film audition I did last week. Won't hear about The Crucible til at least tomorrow.
