Spent the last few days dealing with a dead car battery, but that's all fixed now. All that's let to do this weekend is recovering from having to single-handedly push my car up an inclined parking lot. (In short, my body really hates me today).

With that said, I've decided that these past 6 days will make up my entire break from filmmaking, and I'll...

So, today is Day 2 of my "break" from filmmaking, and, despite swearing I'm taking time off, I spent my entire morning working on my long-term building project: my camera dolly. Built the first version in 2012 (no photo exists, only this shitty sketch):

Built a working version in 2013 for my film "Inheritance"

And now I've greatly improved it; I can get shots from

Don't worry, I don't mean from here. I have problems vanishing from this site as it is, so I'm still trying to work on that.

The break I'm talking about is from film production stuff. Although I know what film I'm working on next, all of the preproduction work for "Retirement" took up the better part of a year, and I think I'd like to...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.... Wait, no, that's not right. Fuck.

Yesterday, while working in this week's shooting location (yeah, that's more like it), I got all the equipment ready to go for today and tomorrow's zombie related shoot. While trying to cover a mirror, which I totally fucked up, I found a massive role of plastic sheeting.

Tomorrow, I'm shooting my fake "Undead Bastards" zombie film, which means I have to figure out every single light setup today (gotta make night time look like the day, so I can make it look like night time again). I also need to transport a bag full of modified fake guns without getting caught (because it's apparently illegal). Oh, how I love filmmaking.

And I've

If you call a film "Retirement," you will get a surprisingly large amount of advocacy groups, health groups, and life insurance companies interested in what you're doing.

So far... none of them have figured out the film is about a serial killer.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
