I scored a movie that will appearing at the Georgetown Super 8 film festival (I also directed this movie). The deal is you have to shoot one roll of super 8 with no editing and they show it just like that.  You can make a soundtrack, but they push play on the CD player at the same time they push play on the projector, so you are guaranteed to have your soundtrack be synced wrong.  I took that to heart, but I really don’t know if it’s going to work.

We decided that it would be hard to create a narrative with only in camera editing so we wrote a little story about the death of the Greek philosopher Diogenes.  It stars Bradley Hutchinson as Diogenes (also starring in the Hot Dog Cycle and soon to be directing a movie that I adapted for the screen).  Please come out and see it on May 2nd (although the location is still TBA).
