Some indieWIRE blogs page readers & others (see post below ) were having problems with the fact that I am mostly talking about Date Number One at this blog these days ("! the nerve, talking about his own movie at his blog!" :)), so, I just turned off the site feeds. Which means posts made at this blog should not be showing up at indieWIRE's blogs page anymore. This, I think, is the way to go at the moment, since I am more interested in writing about my own movie and less interested in writing about indie film & filmmaking in general right now. Later on iW blogs page, been nice hanging out over there for a while. Hello people-who-want-to-mostly-read-about-DNO-over-here, pull up a chair. :: 6/7/07 UPDATE: Feed's are back on. Will be blogging as usual re: DNO & other things. Any iW blogs page reader can just ignore whatever they do not want to read. - Sujewa

* This post was originally published in my other (& now retired) blog Filmmaking For The Poor in 11/7/05, so, it may be possible to pull together the gear described below for even less than $1500. ** The exact amount I spent was $1375 for the editing set up. But $1500 is a good goal to keep in mind in case transportation, additional taxes, other small expenses related to the purchases come up. How I Assembled A Digital Editing Set Up For Under $1500 (originally published in Nov 7, 2005) Of course even $1500, a paltry sum by Hollywood standards, is a lot of money for a lot of the poor filmmakers on this planet, but that amount is within reach for the disciplined American indie filmmaker with a dayjob of some kind (that pays in cash, as opposed to livestock or some other form of currency, I do not think the Apple Store trades their goods for chickens or pigs, yet). Here is the digital video editing set up that I assembled for cutting my new featu...

Anonymous commenters, unless they are saying something positive, are generally a waste of time and are deleted or otherwise ignored but I just received this comment, worth replying to, on my post announcing the Date Number One 7/12-18 run in Kensington: " PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop posting this info on the indiewire blogsite!Anyone and everyone already knows about this from your daily postings. In addition, there's no reason for you to constantly hog the indiewire blogs with all of your rantings/ravings/"memories" concerning your little movie. Indiewire isn't just a promo site for your movie - it's suppoed to give information and news about indie filmmaking. If you want to advertise, then buy an ad like all of us other indie filmmakers.BTW...I don't think you're dvd will EVER come out...you've supposedly been working on it for 8 months! Good luck to you anyway. - Anonymous" And here's my reply: 1. indieWIRE selects blogs that they like ...

Here's the intro to the show , put together by VBS.TV : " On the VBS original series Soft Focus, Ian Svenonius interviews musicians whom we revere and admire. For our premiere episode, we’re pleased to present a conversation between Ian and Will Oldham, a.k.a. Bonnie Prince Billy. Coming up this season are visitations from Ian Mackaye, Chan Marshall (a.k.a. Cat Power), Henry Rollins, Genesis P. Orridge, Andrew WK, and more. Soft Focus is shot on location at the venerable Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Ian Svenonius is not only a lyricist and performer of unparalleled depth and intensity (in bands such as the Nation of Ulysses, Cupid Car Club, Make-Up, and Weird War), but also a secret custodian of rock lore and a theorizer of cultural connections that the rest of us, blind in comparison, tend to miss. For supporting evidence, see his recently released book The Psychic Soviet . He lives, like many of America’s national treasures, in Washington DC." Catch the episode...

I hung out this past weekend with Iraq war veteran Jim White (if I recall correctly Jim spent a year in Iraq with an Army reserve unit & prior to that he was in the Marines for, I think, 20 year). When he is not busy being a soldier, Jim is a photographer & graphic designer. Check out some of Jim's Iraq photos & graphic design work here . - Sujewa
