THE SHOWER is Coming Together
The team has made some excellent progress on financing THE SHOWER. We're not all the way there in terms of the all-in budget, but we're close enough that this project is looking like a reality.
We're starting to shoot little videos and stuff to post on the main site, with the idea of carrying that into production diaries and so on when we start principle photography.

We're Making a Horror Movie
It's a contained zombie horror-comedy called THE SHOWER, by Samurai client Alex Drummond, who will also direct. The idea is to do it on a very low budget, natural lighting, limited locations... basically, a mumblecore horror film. We're going to do a Kickstarter in the very near future.
The domain name has already been registered, with the idea of doing production diaries, interviews, etc. before and during the shoot, and later as a place to sell DVDs and merch.

Shit Fantasy Football People Say
I directed this.
I don't really watch football, fantasy or otherwise, so most of the jokes go past me. But it's a fun piece with a lot of energy, so I think it plays.
And of course thanks go out to John and Liz at X's & Y's for the opportunity...

On Being
I'm editing a novel at the moment, and thus putting a lot of time and thought into sentence construction. The fulcrum of a good sentence is a verb. If you have a verb, it's hard to go wrong.
I've known since junior high that even "is" and its variants ("was," etc.) are counted as verbs. But having stared at this fact for several hours, I've noticed something interesting: so far as the English language is concerned, simply existing is a verb... that is, an action. Just being is equal to doing something.
The basic function of existence is action.
It's easy to see how this applies to living things. For example, if human beings are doing "nothing," they are still breathing, digesting, thinking, sensing, and so on. A tree doesn't do a lot of running and jumping, but it's absorbing nutrients, engaging in photosynthesis, growing, etc.
Pushing the idea further, I realized the idea also applies to inanimate objects. Any object that is doing "nothing" is still performing at least one action, and that is decomposing. If humanity winked out of existence, for example, a thousand years from now very little would remain of my motorcycle.
We live in a reality in which anything that isn't being used for a purpose gives itself up for other entities that in turn do use them. There is no such thing as an object that will go unused, down to a molecular level, even if that action lends itself to basic continued existence.
And thus, it stands to reason that the more you act, the more our reality is designed at a basic level to give you whatever is needed.
