home
well, I was forced to delay phase 2 of Sister/Brother due to global pandemic. not ideal scenario but then neither would be endangering cast/crew and anyone they are in contact with. been at home, telecommuting to day job, project planning, watching movies w/ the kids, writing songs, teaching the kids screenwriting and filmmaking, cleaning the house, eating a lot of beans. guessing in about 10 days the shit will hit the fan and none of this will be cute. let’s all stay calm and live.
read: uncanny valley by anna wiener (real good), the lifecycle of software objects by ted chiang (enjoyed but disturbed), dead man’s mistress by david housewright (grabbed at random at library before they closed down so don’t judge too harshly), sing unburied sing by jesmyn ward (this profoundly messed me up. still feel cored)
on deck: the night swimmer by pete rock, transit rachel cusk
seen w/ kids: big hero 6, timmy failure, the parent trap (1998). ratatouille, escape to witch mountain (yes we got disney plus okay?),
seen w/ mm: seasons 1-5 of Bosch (actually good), beef house, dave (the show), Fargo season 1
seen solo: cya, mandalorian
notable sidebar: have watched no criterion/cinema save adaptation, which i like but don’t love and a rewatch of code unknown, which remains a+
songs: I used to take this seriously in college but not so much anymore. diminished time and attention = a chord progression + random thoughts + garage band + a little free time. songs here
etc: trying to run every other day, trying to maintain mindfulness practice, trying to homeschool kids, ping pong (thanks to my folks for the table!) yard work, cleaned out garage, listing multiple personal/household projects and hoping that just listing will take the place of needing to undertake, anxiety mgmt, applied for RACC grant, cut a trailer for Sister/Brother from everything we shot in phase 1, trying to walk margin b/t worrying too much and being too casual. Do you struggle here too? send me an email and let me know how you are. I miss you: northernflickerfilms@gmail.com
