So I return from lunch this afternoon to find that Bob DeMarco has left, on my desk chair, a scene for our screenplay project... written in pencil on a piece of 2x4. So there is now a large block of wood leaning against my hard drive, its contents waiting to be transcribed. That's what you get when your screenplay partner is a carpenter who writes on the job.

There's a good bit of movie news today, not least of which is the unveiling of the fall's AEC Independent Film Series lineup. There's a lot of obscure stuff, some rightfully so, but some real gems too: I'm especially stoked about "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring" and "Maria Full of Grace." And, of course, "Garden State." We're all trailer junkies now.

Also, it seems that my lone (unless you count the anti-drunk driving PDAs I filmed with a camcorder when I was ten) foray into moviemaking has made its way onto the Internet. Andy Montgomery and I were partly responsible for the worst part of this short: the story, which builds to a dreadful, tasteless joke about deafness and a record store. So we need to self-edit a bit better. But the Bernard Hermann homage is nice.

Finally, we can only hope that Nick Cave's screenwriting venture turns out better. It's a Western with Guy Pierce. Safe to assume it's brooding. Gothic and redemptive, for that matter. I'm there.
