Well, as of the time of posting, anyway. We’re showing some long-overdue short films created during my time at National Park Community College. I find it’s amusing that the vast majority of the videos we’ll be showing were either created by me or that I was involved with in so me way – people who stop by will be seeing my VG Theory Productions introductory splash about 7 times in the span of two hours, so that’s cool.
We’ll be debuting the world premier of “The Early Birds, The Movie: The Good, The Bad, and The Hungry”, starring Peter Danner Hess and Samantha Proffit. It’s arguably the most cinematic short film I’ve ever worked on, and there’s even talk among my partners that we will pursue a feature-length “Director’s Cut” this summer which could well find it’s way to film festivals if all goes well. What, you want to see what we’ve got so far? Fine, here’s the trailer(watch it on Youtube for higher-resolution versions).
Time flies, or something like that. It was a fairly hectic semester, let me tell you. Anyway, a new year, a new decade, and hopefully a few new shorts from Film Group this time around.
Between Physical Science, US History, Intro to Philosophy, Creative Writing, and, well, WORK, I am finding myself to be rather busy as hell. Even as I type, I am listening to a lecture from my Philosophy instructor, which makes typing kind of tricky, ironically enough. We’ve had a few film group meetings so far this semester, and it seems as though everyone will be working on some rather interesting projects. My own project, “The Wynter Project”, is currently on the back burner, but we will get to it as other films are completed, so that’s cool. Goodness knows I could use the time to finish up the script.
Just a quick update on my landlady: she’s still a bitch.
There is a small possibility of an experimental fake news podcast, depending on whether or not my employers(the college) approve of it or not. I honestly don’t know what to think about this. Working for the college has proven to me, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that I HATE Bureaucracy and Political Correctness. These elements of our fucked up society are both dehumanizing and decidedly bland, and when I found my studio for real, these will have no place in my business. I would very much like to follow the early Atari methodology, in that the employees work hard because they love the work, not because they’re being forced to do it. Fuck 9-5, fuck suits and ties, as long as you make multimedia magic, as long as you maintain respect for the studio and for the contracts, you are your own boss.
Well, anyway, it’s a nice dream, a nice change from the sterility of my current phase of life.
Ricky Coulter is most often found on Facebook, evil den of mass dementia that it is. Most of his content is set to 'Friends Only' at the moment, so feel free to send him a friend request - just be verbose and descriptive as to who you are, how you found him, and why you want to be friends, as he is a paranoid caveman and thus does not trust complete strangers.
