shot my first short for film school.
it's called Joanne. it's on Vimeo . the password is joanne. it's only two minutes
take a gander
i loved making it. so rewarding
it was magical seeing something that was once in my head make it onto a screen
i can't even describe it.
the next module is "making short films". i am so excited
i am so lucky and blessed to have been able to have this opportunity
i think about this a lot
i belong where i am
life is good

anyway so life is really good at the moment.
i have a new camera and i took some photos yesterday of a fundraiser i went to
my friends' band were playing
decoy jet
they are really awesome
i was so pleased with the lighting they had
it made taking the photos even more rewarding
the rest are on flickr if you care to look
in other news it has been a few months now since my mum's book was published
she gets her stats about payment at the end of this month
she describes it as "chick-lit detective story"
it's about an investigator with a prosthetic leg who solves a missing persons case.
it's a really cool story
she was interviewed by the local paper and said that the fact that the main character has a disability, she likes the idea that someone could be inspired by the idea that you don't have to be defined by it and that you can still achieve great things even when you have these obstacles :)
it really inspires me personally especially as a filmmaker because
my mum worked on this book for a long time and she suffered setbacks like every writer
and she almost gave up
but she didnt
and that's the main point
like all my heroes have suffered these setbacks.
even lady gaga. she was dropped by her first label
and now look at her
so my mum and lady gaga are similar they are fighters even tho people don't think they are
they have the same spirit
like me
