The big project right now is getting a new job. I’m looking for something in the video world preferably with a focus on editing. To achieve this goal I am, of course, sending out résumés and updating this website.
In the meantime work on my thesis project Death Girl continues unabated. It’s a battle, but I am making progress. I just have to keep pressing through.

Alright, I’m done feeling sorry for myself. I’ve got a lot of work to do and I’m the only one who can do it. It’s nose-to-the-grindstone time, Ladies and Gentlemen.

That’s an improvement. There’s still a lot of work to do and a lot of questions to be answered, but less-terrible is certainly better than terrible.

I feel terrible. This movie is not going well to the point where I’m questioning if it ever will. I wonder if I’m really cut out for this. I have trouble remembering equivalent emotional highs to the emotional lows of filmmaking. I feel intensely sad about things and I really don’t have many avenues to express that. When I tell people I have concerns they always say it’ll turn out okay. It’ll be fine.
I’m not so convinced.
I feel very lost and very defeated and I’m not sure how I’m going to get this project off the ground and get my future in order at the same time.
I apologize for the downer/whiny post. I’ll try to force myself into a better disposition tomorrow.

Alright, jokers, I’m back. Future posts will mostly be about the rewrite to Love, Blood, and Violence and, of course, the infamous Death Girl shoot that’s rapidly approaching. In the meantime, though, soccer.
Yeah, I was watching soccer again. This time it was the San Jose Earthquakes versus the New York Red Bulls.
San Jose normally plays in Buck Shaw stadium on the campus of Santa Clara University. It’s the smallest stadium in the league. It seats 10,300. In this game they played in Stanford Stadium. They had over 40,000 fans. For those of you who watch the NFL that number would be a pitiful showing, but you need to understand that the MLS average regular season attendance this year is about 17,000 a game. Most teams play in stadiums that seat 25,000 or less. But for reasons that still escape me, San Jose fans packed Stanford Stadium to an official attendance of 41,028 fans.
In a meaningless game. During the regular season. In the middle of the regular season.
That’s impressive. I would hope San Jose’s ownership group, that just happens to be considering building the Earthquakes their own stadium near the San Jose Airport, took notice at this massive turnout. I’m not a sports business expert, but it may be time to put San Jose in a bigger home.
