Poon Job's Palace

since I last posted. For starters I left the film I was working as a line producer on due to many reasons. Among which was a shitty script, shitty director, shitty lead actor, shitty budget, & shitty delayed schedule (coincidently one guy was responsible for all of this). So I decided I didn't want to spend 7 weeks in Vancouver that would have no doubt turned into 3-4 months. 3-4 months of my life wasted on a film that will never see distribution. It was finally too much to bare, plus the writer/director/actor/general-douche responsible for this all was talking mad shit about everyone, including myself. Now that I walked his "epic" is seriously in the shitter and probably won't start filming until next year, if at all.
But it's all good cause I am working on a few other films. I finally formed my own production company. We have a website and all...we're so professional it's ridiculous. Anyways, this weekend I directed my first short. We finished editing the bulk of it yesterday, and need to mix the sound a little bit, but it should be up and running on the net sometime this week. It is all done in glorious HD which we will host on our site and post a lower resolution on youtube and myspace.
I will not reveal more as, I wan't the zero of you that read this blog to be surprised. We will also be working on a series of new shorts in the following weeks, among all the other things.

So the last few weeks have been pretty busy with scheduling, budgeting, and casting issues. So the director took off for Vancouver (where we plan on shooting this gem) this weekend and left me all alone running this shit down here. My production manager decided she wanted to take a vacation, which was overdue I guess. My executive works another job on Mondays so I have no one answering the phones for me...and I consider myself too important to answer them myself.
So I sit in my darkened office, usually teaming with troglodytes and douchebags, all by myself. Its as if all my slacking this weekend carried over to the work week and I don't have anyone here to pretend to work for. Even this blog reflects my general malaise.
In other news I saw the directors last film and all I heard about it was how great it was. How groundbreaking it was. How magnificent the symbolism was. What was my take on it? It is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Its target demographic must have been the blind, deaf, and dumb. Never before have I seen such remedial symbolism melded so seamlessly with bad acting. It also featured quite possibly the ugliest cast I have ever seen. Now I am no spring chicken, but when I can fully say that I am better looking then everyone in this film, even the women, it is a sad state of affairs. It truly is shocking why such a great film (winner of 15 independent film festivals no less) hasn't found distribution yet.
It truly instills confidence in me as half the scenes in this new epic are stolen from the last movie. I don't plan on staying on in post-production unless I am given full creative license to edit the shit out of this piece. Good thing I have classier shit films to fall back on. I'm crossing my fingers for Dorm Daze 4.
