Just saw Gretchen by local filmmaker Steve Perry is best described as Napoleon Dynamite with a chick. Pretty funny, but kind of pretty standard funny. Yes, we all get it, tuxedo t-shirts are funny.
After Gretchen I went to a screening of Fired! by Annabelle Gurwitch (Melvin Goes To Dinner) and had my book signed by Annabelle and David Cross afterwards.
I gave David a copy of Schadenfreude Hotel & Casino, which he is featured in, but doesn't remember, he tried to remember, but I kept telling that he didn't. He was very gracious that we had made it and asked him to be in it and that I got him a copy. David is a very very nice guy. I look forward to hanging out with him on the set of Alderman.
The whole Film Crew showed up today, including my favorite people, Lighting Director (and producer of This Old Cub) Hollywood Heard and his Best Boy Anamal. I've worked on movie crews since 1994 and you can take the stars, I'll be drinking it up with the Grip and Electric, a far far better class. Real guys with real stories. I even did a short on the set of Heaven's Fall where I followed them around for one whole day.
We went to the party for Ovie, the producers of Darkon.
They just continue to impress. A young company with years of experience under their roof, and great people besides. I expect to see their name over and over in the coming years. The sort of random chance meeting with people that can only happen in the atmosphere of a film festival.

I hope that "24 hours until the premiere of Heaven's Fall" is some kind of inside joke because the �premiere� was Monday night and there are no additional screening times indicated for �Heavens Fall� on the SXSW website � not on the �Heavens Fall� page and not on the day-by-day Screening Schedules. So if there is in fact supposed to be a second screening tomorrow, somebody from Strata might alert SXSW to put it up there because otherwise, there goes your audience.
Haha. Thank you, yeah, that would suck. Actually I wrote a lot while in Austin, didn't have time to format all of it, so I was teasing the release of my vast writings from the rooftops of Austin. Only one premiere and I will tell you alllll about it tomorrow. But I have a feeling you were there, friend. Thanks for the heads up.
