I have always loved Billy Collins. Perhaps for extra credit I should do something like this, not animated though, I do not have those skills

This is some of the funiest stuff that I have ever seen, who in there right mind would take the time to train a cat? As a side note, snagfilm.net may be a place for all of us in this class to post our films

So last night I went to the Abbey at six and saw "AN UNLIKELY WEAPON". This documentary was shot using primarily available light which worked in almost all of the scenes, but some of the interview shots looked a little too red. Either that or the person being interviewed suffered front he worst case of Rosacea that I have ever seen. The editing was smooth, I only noticed one cut that seemed off. I loved the close ups of Mr. Adams walking down the street and I wonder, were they shooting with one of those steady cam things? The integration of the works of the artist were well spaced. The movie flowed well, and was emotionally moving. I was unprepared for the actual video footage of the assassination photo, and the moments following the iconic photograph are gut wrenching. I got a great idea of who the subject was, and I think I would have liked to have known him. At one point in the film, we see this incredible mass of papers, negatives and the like, and the woman working there says something to the effect that they look at it and close the door, because they don't know where to begin. That moment made me want to go and help them archive, I can see myself doing it! I was going to see "COURTING CONDI" but I was too tired (sorry Carrie). I would like to see more films but I don't think that I am going to be able to. On a side note, I ran into a lady that I know and she apparently has alot to do with the film festival in Florence, Italy and the festival in Cairo, Egypt. She asked me if I would be interested in presenting a workshop or participating on a panel discussion in either country. I was a little floored and told her that I wasn't really a filmmaker, her response was, "Aren't you an actress?" So that could be an extremely interesting opportunity, we will see what happens.

I've gone to the dogs!

Saw this in performance art class, and just now my mom sent me the link?

This is a powerful piece of video. I am so glad that at least one man has the guts to really hold true to the convictions that REALLY matter. Blessed be.

funny stuff

Too too much, it won't let me embed, but you should go see it anyway.
