No More Geocities

Another quick notice in this flurry of busy times... Geocities is no longer in operation. Anything that was on Geocities in the past for Thomas Productions (which refers to anything prior to the directorG.com domain even existed) now has been demolished.

I'm therefore glad that a few months back, I transferred over all of the images from the Washington D.C. fieldtrip to GPicturama! Otherwise, I'd have to start from scratch to repair that site, since none of my pics at that point (in '99) were originally digital yet -- scanned each and every one by hand. I hope I transferred other stuff, too... About to find that out.

Doc Submitted Yesterday

It's done! Journey of the Mind was submitted yesterday to the Arizona State U festival, different from what? The web page for the movie is now under construction, and should be ready in the next few days.

There's a possibility that this documentary could also get shown on a local television station... More on that as details arrive!

Executive Producer!

This is the week I must submit Journey of the Mind to the festival, Different From What?, at Arizona State University. That's why the timing is PERFECT for a new person to be on board: Jayne Ham.

Thanks to her, it is now possible to completely afford the submission fee of the festival and beyond! She now is being credited as Executive Producer. Awesome to the extreme!

Jumping for joy...

That's Wild

Things are still SUPER BUSY, but here's a quick rundown from the past week:

Nearly done with Journey of the Mind.  Am already adding B-roll footage to the mix!  Postmark deadline is October 25th, but I know I can send it before then.  Also am nearly done with a private wedding video. Huffina huffina!

What additionally occurred last week on YouTube was the 3,000th viewing of The Dog of Pompeii (Part 1)!  It's status stands at 3,062 views.

Great early reviews (though still waiting to see Ebert's) for Where the Wild Things Are!  Must see it!

4,000 Things To Do!

I'll be quick, because of what the title suggests, but that number is significant because Scenes from Being John Malkovich (2006) has surpassed 4,000 views on YouTube! It's current status is 4,011. Wahoo!

BTW, great footage this past weekend for Journey of the Mind (2009)! More on that soon.

Title Determined

As of this week, the title for my documentary on epilepsy has been solidified: Journey of the Mind. For a film about personal lifelong epilepsy, I think that about sums it up.

So far, there will be at least two names added to the credits of this: Neva Nickols-Hirschkorn, the Executive Director of the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California and person who I spoke with on the phone to get permission for filming neurologists at a conference, and Kay Barg, my former teacher and an associate producer of this project.  This is all not including the names of neurologists...

There actually is an additional set of guns firing simultaneously (in a good way, of course). All I can say at the moment is that when it rains, it really does pour!
