Los Angeles Short Film Festival
Luis, the Assistant Director from the failed movie we did a documentary about, had a short film in the LA Film Festival at the Arc Light. Blake Anderson was in town, so we headed to the theatre together. While I was waiting for the show to begin I saw an art exhibition that I really enjoyed. This photographer turned ordinary women, through lighting and make up, into 1940's starlets. The transformations were amazing. He would take ass-ugly women and somehow turn them into femme fatales that would have had anyone's tongue wagging. Also, Blake and I were hanging around outside the theatre before the show when, low and behold, Keanu Reeves walks out with a couple of his buddies. According to Blake he, "checked me out," and come to think of it, have you ever heard of Keanu having a girlfriend or some big-Hollywood relationship scandal?
The show starts and after three shorts I realize that that I am at or above the level of the films I am watching. There were a few that stood out. There was an animation piece named Memorial that blended graffiti and computer animation. Then there was another movie about getting old and not caring what people think anymore. Can't remember the title. Then Luis's film comes up. It was OK. It was about a girl losing her mother and how the father deals with it. They shot it in Mexico city with local talent. The best part, though, is that it was written by your and my favorite person: Marco Martinez Galarce. The funniest part of the show was when people started clapping after a commerical for porsche (they thought it was a short).
I got a Thai massage earlier in the day and it gave me an idea for a business that I could start. It would be called: The Cuddle Factory. There's something soothing about a 95 pound girl man-handling you like a piece of meat. That's what gave me the idea. People need cuddling, and lots of it. You come in, sit down, and order your cuddle partner out of a catalogue. Forty dollars for half an hour. A lot of people are starved for human affection, especially in LA.
Smash and Grab: I'm going on an PA interview Thursday for Corner of the Sky Productions. My contact is the producer of Evan Almighty, the sequel to Bruce Almighty starring Steve Carrell. I asked the guy today if there was room for upward mobility, compensation, or a chance to be on set. The answer to all of this was no. So, I'm going to the interview for experience but I'm definitely not accepting the job.
