in my room. just decided to go back to one of my original ideas. Cute Meet is going to be released in 2.35. Last night I told kevin we ned to grow the fuck up and make a feature. first step of that is to get out of the kiddie pool (the kiddie pool being 16:9 in this case). im barely looking at the first few frames in 2.35 and i already love it. ppl are gonna cream themselves at the fps showcase on tuesday.
Lame Ted…:P
Introducing our new game called:
“Don’t Be A Di*k During Meals With Friends.”
The first person to crack and look at their phone picks up the check.
Our (initial) purpose of the game was to get everyone off the phones free from twitter/fb/texting and to encourage conversations.
Rules:
1) The game starts after everyone has ordered.
2) Everybody places their phone on the table face down.
3) The first person to flip over their phone loses the game.
4) Loser of the game pays for the bill.
5) If the bill comes before anyone has flipped over their phone everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal.
Variations/house rules:
-Starting the game after everyone is seated.
-In the rare event that multiple people flip their phones simultaneously, the bill is split between said players.
- Feel free to invoke penalties/strikes systems.
Notes:
- No touching or messing with anybody else’s phones.
- You don’t have to stack the phones. This was done for picture taking purposes.
- I realize I should perhaps think of a different name for this awesome game. Because I don’t mean to imply that everyone who checks their phone during meals is a di*k.
- I recommend not being such a stickler or hardass on people about the rules and even initiation of the game. Basic premise is to just get people open to the idea of staying active and attentive to one another. But if someone has to take a call; they have to take a call =).
- Have fun! It’s really more of a fun concept in this new age high tech life of ours. Conversation is the spice of life.
I recently worked on a project with a client that got ahead of themselves. We spent some money in places that we really shouldn’t have in an effort to get the product out the door faster. When they saw the result, we immediately slowed down in an effort to ensure that we won’t be making any more hasty decisions. In order to explain this, I sent them over the “indie triangle.” The “indie triangle” dictates that you can only pick two.
- If you want Quality you either need Time or Money. If you don’t have Time, then Money must solve the problems that you’ll enviably encounter in production. If you don’t have Money, then Time must be the way you solve problems.
- If you don’t have Time or Money, you’ll likely not get Quality.
Independent film producers never have to worry about having abundant Time and Money. With rare exception, this does create problems in Hollywood productions. Michael Cimino’s Heaven’s Gate is the product of actually having too much Time and Money where Quality suffered as a result.

Quote of the Night
After watching the Entourage series finale again, i got a lil teary eyed and started thinking about my life and my friends through the next few years.
-Talking to Kevin ( http://sundaybest-and-brokenglass.tumblr.com/ ) gave me this thought, and i loved it.
