...i started writing out the script for 'The Surfie Boys' mockumentary...
...Korea is still the main priority of course, but Surfie Boys is really just a few interviews and zoom-ins on still shots...
...it may even concievably be finished before Korea, but i don't want to have a comedy be flowerlandfilms first production...
...so i guess there will be two things before Korea comes out...
...speaking of which, i met a guy online who wants to collaborate with me to make music for Korea, 1950...
...score! the wonders of the internet. of course i have to finish it first. scoring is one of the last things you do...
...i dont have a picture for this update, so i will just add one from the last movie i watched...
...surprise, surprise - it was American Graffiti...
...note the license plate number from this George Lucas classic...

...although lately i work with a renewed vigour, i have to get these things done...
...sadly, i just recieved and watched Always, meaning i have now seen every Steven Spielberg movie...

...i went to a Pinky Beecroft and The White Russians show in Sydney
[they rocked]
...
...and approached Pinky about doing a short film about his friendship with Tim Freedman of The Whitlams...
...i facebooked him a proposal and he is mulling it over, i really want do it...

...okay so i jumped the gun a little...
...before painting it i have to neaten it up a little...
...the rough sketch in the previous post has now become a framework for the room...
...the camera will pan from right to left, with a little forced perspective to help the realism...
