Still Awake


For one reason or another, i'm still going. I guess I'm still on a high from getting the film done, and then the anticipation of seeing it on the big screen. Tonight at the gala, our Hari won best editor, and the film, itself, won the audience award. I know it was our acting that help put us over the top, that and best use of a cell phone in a short. There was that.

Twas very cool to have my mom fly in and share this with me. I got very lucky in the parents department. Mom is here with me; Dad is back in Long Beach, minding my unruly dog, Dixie. Being here in ABQ, amidst all this talent, makes me want to go back home, get to writing immediately and return to shoot something else. With the preparation for the festival, it's been hard to hang out in a creative space. But I look forward to returning with new material.

In the meantime, I'm going to get "Talk Me To Death" in as many places as will have it. I think people will be open and welcoming to it because nearly all of us endure someone's annoying, TMI cell phone conversation daily.
