It has been a productive & enjoyable S-a-t-u-r-d-a-y here in K-town, Kenfantabulousington, MD.

* Edited for a few hours early AM
* Did some dayjob work @ the lovely All Books Considered
* Had dinner w/ The Amanda
* Shot some ext night footage of Kensington, the film needs a few minutes of those
* Started a new blog, this blog
* Saw the Beastie Boys concert video movie Awesome, I Fucking Shot That! in Georgetown w/ housemate Allie. An interesting movie, in the best sense of the word interesting. A movie u can dance to. Nice to see the Beasties still rocking out after all these years. I see them rocking out even when they are like 75. Jackvalentistyle.

Pretty good day all in all.

Been Thinking about all the promo work ahead for the Date Number One 5/19 - 5/21 screenings in Seattle @ the Northwest Film Forum (NWFF), been coming up with some master plans. Around 4/10 they will start to go into effect. I will be setting up a new web page on the wilddiner.com site for the Seattle screenings, while I wait to see if the NWFF website will mention the event (they at present do not mention rental/"4-wall"/DIY events, only stuff that they themselves program, that could change, working on it). Even w/ that, perhaps temporary, problem NWFF have been very cool people to work w/ so far. Go Matt "Rentals" C & gang!

No matter what, all media in Seattle will know about the DNO gig there by the middle of this month baby. Hopefully at least some of them will mention the event.

Need to update my MySpace & Friendster sites to serve the film. That too will get done around 4/10 - 4/15.

awright, G'night! time to go sleep so i can wake up & edit, edit, edit.

Introduce us to your favorite painters & paintings.

There's a PBS (i think) show on French painters right now. Other, older, forms of art, & the people who made them, can be inspirational & useful for filmmakers I think. I've learned a lot from indie rock (some aesthetic stuff, lots of bidness stuff), maybe I can learn stuff from painting too. So in July & August I am going to blog about painters & I would like you to comment & tell us about your favorite painters & other interesting stuff about painting. Painting is thousands of years old. Filmmaking is a little over 100 years old. US Indie filmmaking as we know it is perhaps a little over 50 years old (w/ the beginning somewhere around the time when the Cassavetes generation got its inspiration/started work). Us new indie filmmakers - the digital/web/DIY generation, can probably learn a lot by taking a look at/getting to know, painting & other older art forms. I'll start w/ Edward Hopper . Here's page w/ a lot of info on him. His most famou...
