running off bridges

The days have been fast. I go from one big task to another, with little bits of time in between to go for a run, say hey to the dogs and the neighbors and last night Annalise and I snuck out to see Superman. I love a good superhero movie, I love a mediocre superhero movie. This one, somewhere in the middle, is worth the eight bucks.

As for our fall release of jumping off bridges.. progress continues -

• We have venues set in Seattle, Houston, Tallahassee, Baltimore, and Austin with more cities almost finalized. My good friends in Grand Junction Colorado are setting up a screening at their local art house. Our goal is 20 cities. Every day we get closer.
  
• We continue to get emails from people that we never thought we'd get emails from. I can't tell you how thrilling it was to hear from the cousin of Kurt Cobain who has written two brilliant boooks about the effects of suicide on families. It certainly raised my cool factor with my daughter. (When I tell her about standing next to Chris Novaselic at the first Grungefest, she just kinda shrugs, but this definitely got her attention. )
• We are getting things done. We are completely out of funds, so Kat and I continue to do workshops on low budget filmmaking to bring in more operating capital. All the Storie girls love a good challenge, the marathon was just a start.

We're all taking mini breaks for the 4th. I'll be hanging with the family, getting in some time with my Grandma and my Uncles and some of the cousins. I think I'll even ride the crazy horse for a bit.

Then it's more catching up before I head to JAX on 7/10 for pre-production scouting on the next film.

In case you're one of those people who talk on the phone when they drive, I read today that people who talk on the phone when they drive have more accidents than people who drive drunk. Just think about that for a little bit....
