The blog is feeling a little lonely right now, I suppose everyone spent this weekend doing vacationy things as they well should have. I wish I could argue that I’ve been equally busy, but I’ve just been m.o.b. (missing on blog) while my laptop sits 2 feet away from me at all times. I’ve been [...]

I feel a little strange posting personal news, but bare with me.
This week, when checking in at my old job at Cinépool Inc., I found out that Cinépool co-owner David W. Clarke had a heart attack earlier this week and slipped into a deep coma. I won’t go into the details of everything; I barely [...]

This weekend has been a continuous turnstile of handing off Assembly projects. The filmmaking step, which took place last week, was the most difficult stage to find (and keep!) participants. Understandably, filmmakers are more reluctant to take on projects as they need a camera, sound and lighting equipment, editing gear, and have to find actors [...]

As you’ll see from the segment of an email back and forth below, Astria Suparak has got my back. All our backs. What I mean is - though some of the artists on Indyish.com aren’t necessarily pumping this co-authored site full of daily blog posts and products, they are still stitching us into other circuits [...]

The first batons have been successfully passed off in the Assembly Relay.
Risa and I met yesterday at the Croissanterie with the filmmakers taking over the screenwriters’ scripts that were written this past week. It was great to sit down with this excited group of creative folks and get to show them Celtx and hand [...]

Assembly1: “Lose me in translation; find me in the double helix” is written as a series of voiceovers in between which [...]

That’s right. It starts Saturday. There’s still time to sign up if you haven’t yet. Just make sure to send me an email by Wednesday and I’ll hook you up with the appropriate info.
First comes writing (FEBRUARY 10-16)
Then comes filmmaking (FEBRUARY 17-24)
Then comes music in the baby carriage? (FEBRUARY 25-MARCH 2)
Um right. Whichever step you’re [...]

Looking for a fun filmmaking challenge? Indyish’s latest film and music project, The Assembly, offers a collaborative assembly-line style experiment, designed to stretch the scope of your work and inspire new connections.
Writing teams will be given a common starting point, the original sheet music for a song by a local music group. Their challenge is [...]

in the spirit of Lickety-Split’s awesome new video and film festival, Daughters of Joy!, I thought I’d pass along this call for submissions for an upcoming eros-oriented academic conference. As Mark Grief eloquently argues in this month’s Harpers (in an exerpt from “Afternoon of the Sex Children” from n+1 issue 4- quoted below) desire in [...]
