Italian Lemonade

Damn, it's been a long time.  Hasn't it?
I haven't forgotten you.  I just didn't know where to begin again.
I went to New Orleans in March with some of my best friends to represent Fatal Games at Filmapalooza.  It was amazing.  Met some great people, went to some awesome places.  Felt inspired to write.  Lost $80 at the casino.  Became a rum and coke drinker...

Well, I didn't make the finals of Shriekfest.  Ah, well.  It was great making the semis.  Shriekfest is a great festival.  And I WILL make it someday...That didn't sound too creepy did it?
Anyhow, since I didn't make it to Shriekfest this year, I decided to use the money to invest in Coming Distractions.  I bought a new camera, so that when I start gathering funds, I have a big part of it already....

Still not dead.
So much has happened since my last blog post.  Where do I begin?
I participated in the 48 Hour Film Project with a team of my good friends.  We had two days to write, produce, and edit a short film.  I was the writer on my team, and our team won FOUR awards!  We got the Audience Award, Best Director, Best Actress...

I know.  It's been a while.
I've been accumulating all sorts of gialli, but haven't been sitting down and watching them.  I think I'm about due for another giallo marathon.
Also, Orchid has been making the contest rounds, doing well in a few.  It made Quarterfinals in the Writers on the Storm contest, but didn't advance past that.  It made it to the Quarterfinals of the Fade In Awards, but the Semis haven't been announced...
