What Day Is It?

Sometimes I find it funny that I'm making a movie about sleep deprevation and to finish it on time I'm actually experiencing that very thing. Sometimes, but not now. Day 3 of 4 hours of sleep each night. I'm still trying to get the front half of the movie sorted out - details, details, details. For the first time in 5 days I left the house yesterday - or wait, last night - or was that the day before - to goto Haiks and work with him on the soundtrack.

As Haik and I were getting punchy, we both realized that neither one of us has been formally trained in what we do. Haik didn't even learn to play the piano until he was 18. One year later he was on stage with George Winston at The Kennedy Center. At the premiere in Monterey we plan to stick Haik on stage and have him play a Steinway Grand while people take their seats. He's trying to convince me to play dualing guitars with him as well but alas, my breadth of knowledge of said instrument expands to a staggering 3 chords. Haik says to me "But man, you can play those chords really well!"


Haik shows me how it's done...at 4am (after a couple hours of sleep Haik went to work at his 'day' job today).

So not much to say except that I honestly think this movie will rival ORTA. The music is more invovled (as Haik reminded me - "Do you realize there is at least 2x as much music in this - and the movie is shorter than the last one! You told me I would be doing less work! Lying rat bastard!").

I need to do some research on broadcast-safe color filters, something I should have learned in film school had I gone. Need more coffee. One pot already down the hatch, time to brew more. Stay tuned, the fat lady is warming up and the PRESSURE CLOCK is winding down...
