I've done a lot of things in my life, and last weekend I added another new experience: I produced my first indie film.

Granted, it's only an eight-minute short for the 48 Hour Film Project, it was really the baby of Bill Coughlan, my "assistant producer" Kate Gibson probably did more actual producing than I did, and I got totally floored by a 104-degree temperature on the actual day of shooting, but it was a great, wonderful experience, and now I have the bug in more ways than one. While I'm still flat on my back with whatever this virus from Hades actually is, I'm mentally making plans for creating another short film, and then maybe another, and then maybe another...

Heh. Lots of my friends have been bitten by the dramatic bug, but I think I'm only one of a small handful that has no interest whatsoever in appearing in front of the camera. We'll get Kate and Jess and Talon and their friends to be in front of the camera, Bill or Shannon to direct, David Seitzinger to do the effects, Andy Rozsa and Scott Andrew LaPera to do the music, I'll do the writing, Kate and I will produce... I love having creative friends. Onward!
