Sci-Fi London Proves Lack of Taste

Looks like I'm not going to London.

The Sci-Fi London Film Festival posted their program today and it looks REALLY impressive...except for the fact that neither of my two submitted films are on it. I'm ok with this, as my finances are gonna be a little tight for the next few weeks. Besides, I've already got three trips lined up in the next few months--Athens, GA, Disneyland, and a Carribean cruise(!)--what you might call an embarrassment of riches, at least for me. To add the United Kingdom onto the heap would be just plain piggy, not to mention fiscally irresponsible. So, well done to the selected short-film makers who were accepted (all 15 of you). Your work looks amazing, especially the animated entries...

Been doing some animation tests today and drinking way too much coffee, the animator's best and worst friend. Best, because it keeps you awake and focused as the click-click-click of the shutter becomes like Chinese water torture, and worst because after the fourth cup your hands start to shake and you have to go to the bathroom every five minutes, which can make you forget what you were doing.

Going over to my friend Anthony's place this evening to show him the rough cut of FROM BEYOND. Afterwards, a few more tweaks, and maybe it will be ready to launch...
