Macon International Film Festival

I'm headed to the Macon International Film Festival today. Our (Josh and I) short experimental film "Looking to Land" is being shown. We hope to win an award over the other four short films in the experimental category.

Looking to Land to Premiere at Film Festival

Looking to Land has been accepted into the 2009 Rome International Film Festival. The short film will be shown on Friday, September 11, 2009, at 11:00 p.m. at the historic Heritage Hall Theatre in Rome, Georgia.

Josh and I hope to attend to see our first film on the big screen. More to come . . . .

The Inside of Out

The Idea.org SpicyNodes WebExhibit on poetry includes one of my poems, "The Inside of Out." I was selected to participate in demonstrating how this new technology can be used in the realm of poetry about two years ago. Now it's finally online. As I said during an interview at the time, "The reader has the opportunity to connect the ideas and images together in ways that would be impossible in a more traditional form."

Guest at the Waldorf School

I had the opportunity to to be a guest "teacher" for a tenth grade class at the Waldorf School in Costa Mesa yesterday. I think it went pretty well considering the fact that I haven't been in front of a class in about eight years.

I read a few poems from The Armpit of Desire, played a few tracks from et cetera et cetera, and played the "Looking to Land" video. Then I facilitated a "show and tell" workshop that produced some interesting poetry from the students.

The best part? Well, if you ask the students, I bet they'd say the free copies of et cetera et cetera!

Thanks for inviting me Genevieve!
