Turns out they were just misfiled. .

just another name

A week or two ago, while scouring the disorganized shelves of the used book store on my (probably) never ending quest to find a copy of Norman Mailer’s Picasso biography, I discovered instead a copy of Wil Wheaton‘s book Just a Geek. I talked myself into buying it (which really just consisted of saying, “Hey, look. It’s one of Wil Wheaton’s books.” “Should I buy it?” “Make it so.”). I started reading it just a few days ago and soon realized why I don’t blog as often as I always tell myself I should. I decided a long time back to stop myself from posting anything truly personal and always use my “fake it till you make it” voice. I’m determined now to change that and really open myself up here. In the past any writing of that sort usually appeared over on my formerly “secret” livejournal account. Now though, if you’re following along here you’ll be exposed to what I’m really thinking and doing and even, on occasion, feeling (and yes, everything here will continue to auto-magically appear on the lj and other places).

To kick off this new mode of blogging, today or tomorrow I’ll be latching onto Damien’s idea to do a new first/introductory post.

filmmaking in georgia

As someone who makes movies, but really doesn’t want to move out to L.A. and get caught up in the beast that is Hollywood, this news is quite welcome:

By the end of September, film, TV, commercial and music video productions had spent $285 million in Georgia on hotel expenses, catering, local hiring and more, nearly doubling the $146 million attained in all of 2005

Of course, that’s just Hollywood coming here, so it’s still primarily not productions in which I’m interested, but it means the infrastructure will be even better here for the films I make. With only one member of my six member filmmaking group who will still be living here next fall, I’ve got a very vested interest in any developments that will allow us to keep making the films we want to make.

(Speaking of my films, if anyone is interested in helping out on the new film, send an email to iwanttohelp@wackoproductions.net)
