this has been a super awesome week!
sunday night i get bad news about the film i made with evangeline. we didn't get into austin film festival. we had been assured for months that we were a shoe-in by one of the head festival programmers. everyone up there loves our film and the head of the festival supposedly watched it twice because he loved it so much. but apparently last minute politics forced a decision between our film and another because of a slight similarity in premise and the other film had more connections to those in charge. so that sucks. but there are more festivals and we're already submitting to them. and at least i get a free producer's badge for the fest because the guy up there felt so bad that we got screwed.
you can watch the teaser trailer here.
then, monday i'm not able to work. so i go run some errands instead. on my way home my car is overheating. so i pull over and find out that my freakin' radiator is cracked. perfect.
tuesday i find a new radiator and a friend helps me install it. which was weird because i've never done anything like that. everything seems to be ok so far....
but then find out i can't work the rest of the week either. so not only was i broke before, but i'm super broke because i had to buy a new radiator. AWESOME.
oh yeah, and i found out i'm losing a roommate and need to find someone new by the 1st or i'm screwed on rent too. anyone need a place to live in austin?
haha, i'm sure something awesome will happen next week and i'll forget about all this. i hope.
oh! norm macdonald is in town in two weeks. that should turn things around.
