FUDGE

What a day!  Lovely, Still was mentioned on NPR today!!!  LISTEN TO THE WONDERFUL INTERVIEW WITH MARTIN HERE!

I feel really blessed.  It’s going to be a busy month, flying all over the place.  Everything is finally taking off with Lovely, Still.  All sorts of interviews and press!  Wow, this has been 3 years of dreaming about my film playing in real theaters and now it is happening.

I can only be gracious past this point with my film.  I wonder if people will see it?   I wonder what reactions in non film festival theaters will be?  It is sort of an odd film.  I’m sure a huge group will immediately right it off because of the old person love story thing.  But maybe they won’t.  Maybe something sensitive is needed.   Luck needs good timing and preparation I suppose.

Going to see Man Man and Panda Bear this weekend here in LA.  AND! I went to the Magic Castle last night.  That place was amazing.  I now have  goal in this town, become a member of Magic Castle and spend every night getting boozed up there!!

I always wanted a Monkey

So it is official.  Team Love Records will be releasing my record this January.

DREAMA – In Dreama

The record features the muscians: Nik Fackler(DREAMA), Ashley Miller, Brainworlds, Dereck Higgins, Sam Martin

I am very honored and excited to release my record.  I hope to start touring this winter to support it’s release.  Once the record is mastered I’ll put up some samples of what to expect.

Also working on new Flowers Forever songs at the beginning of next month.  Busy Busy Busy.

Check this out!  I got the tester DVD box today.  HOT DAMN!

I remember when I was 15 and making short films.  Every short that came out me and my friend Tony Bonacci would make DVD covers and posters for them in photoshop.  Fake it til you make it right?

Working on helping Tim Kasher finish his newest music video for his Solo record.  It’s gonna be great.  Ill post it next week.

We are one month away from Lovely, Still release(BIRTH) into the world.  Just to update everyone – SO FAR we are releasing in Arizona, Massachusetts, Michigan, California, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Colorado, Oregon, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Florida.  CHECK OUT THIS SITE – for more specifics like theaters and cities.

It has been very busy for me lately.  Flowers Forever played the CONCERT FOR EQUALITY last week with Bright Eyes, Cursive, Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings, David Dondero and Desaparecidos!  HOLY SHIT!  It was an amazing show and I felt not only proud to be an artist(VOICE) in America, but also just proud to be an AMERICAN.

I will be editing Tim Kasher’s new video which he is directing for his next record this weekend.  Followed by a Music Video for Deerhunter.  Going into the studio with Flowers Forever.  Working on my own record’s release (MORE TO COME SOON).

The best part is I have two new feature films scheduled for this year!  AND LOVELY’S RELEASE!  I’m working my ass off.  I’m broke as all hell.  But I am happy and that is all that matters.

More to come soon on Lovely’s release – My record and more.

ALSO: Lovely, Still releases in NY on September 10th   and    it now releases in LA September 15th.

Man, it has been busy lately.  Lots of self created pressure.  A wonderful feeling of surrender to my own workaholic nature.

Finished my first album with the help of Ashley Miller in KC.  Will post the finished record soon.  SHIT!  How about right now?  No – not yet.  But soon.

Lovely, Still is playing at the Stony Brook Film Festival this Saturday.  I’ll be there to do a Q&A and rally support for our September release.

I will be a guest of Movies 101 with Prof. Richard Brown on Wednesday night if anyone at NYU wants to come.  I believe they will be playing Lovely, Still and I will be speaking directly after with the Prof.

Spent much time at Montery Media (Our distributor) working on the DVD art.  Looking very good.

I hope to begin shooting my next project this spring in the many hidden and beautiful locations of the world.

I turn 26 July 31st and to celebrate I will be playing the crazy rad Benefit show in Omaha, NE with Flowers Forever.

That is all for now.  I will try harder to update more since I need to.

Interview I did with Olivia Wilder on the radio last night.   Notice the beating I take for not updating my blog.  I’m really sorry everyone.  I promise I will be better at this soon.
