Wow, it been a while. Due to constraints beyond my control I wasn't able to renew back in August. Right now I'm living in a hotel in Cary, NC and have the swank slacker job of working in a record store. Looks like I'm headed back to school in the fall, I've put out a few applications and have a few dozen more to put out. Anyone out there who knows a good film school in their area send me an email, I'll apply there too. Hopefully one of the ones in my area will accept me so I can continue to work with the great crew that has half assembled around our love of movies.
