I want to thank everyone who braved the cold on a Wednesday night to come to the premier of Impotent at Anthology Film Archives. (There are absolutely no refunds, so please stop calling me). \u00a0We’re planning on \u00a0setting up another screening in the near future. \u00a0I’ll post all the information on this site as soon as I possibly can.<\/p>\n
I thought I’d list a few goals for this year that have been swimming around in the old brain box lately.<\/p>\n
I’m hoping to get another movie into production soon. \u00a0It’s entitled ‘Zero’ and it follows the fortunes of four roommates, all artists, all talented, but none of them able to support themselves by their art.<\/p>\n
It sounds dismal from that description, but, for me, the best comedies start in that dismal, squalid place. For ex. any of Charlie Chaplin’s little tramp movies, Bruce Robinson’s \u00a0‘Withnail and I’, or Lindsay Anderson’s ‘If…”, all of which have been big influences on me.<\/p>\n
In addition to the movie I have plans for more sculptures. \u00a0I’ve been trying to figure out a way to take the ideas found in the piece ‘A Two God Universe’ and turn it into a series.<\/p>\n
Last week I hit on the notion of 1 – writing a history, or mythology, of the gods, how they came to be and how they created the universe, 2 \u00a0– \u00a0Writing a history of the religion they spawned, the human aspect of the story, 3 – creating images that were constructed in their name, such as statues, drawings of temples, etc., \u00a04 – \u00a0how the religion died out, or was stamped out by both external and internal forces.<\/p>\n
In addition to this I have two more sculpture series I really want to work on this year; ‘Fossilized Remains of Imaginary Creatures’, I’m still working on writing biographies for the creatures, and ‘Two Figures Pulling Apart’, this series will probably contain nine or ten more sculptures, you can read more about it in an earlier post.<\/p>\n
I’m really going to have to focus my energies this year if I’m going to get any of this underway. \u00a0It’s only January, so I’m still hopefull that I’ll complete a portion of these projects.<\/p>\n
Ok, that’s all for now kids. \u00a0Talk soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
