Wiki This and Somethin’ Else That

sonnyboo's picture



The big news of today? Wikipedia did an interview with me this past weekend and it’s already online. What an honor! I thought it was a big deal getting a Wikipedia entry at all, even though it’s on the verge of being removed for lack of relevance, but then they interview me. I love this kind of irony.





I haven’t even been doing much lately, and I certainly wasn’t trying to get an interview with Wikipedia, but hot damn! This rocks.

I’m finishing post on another Uncle Pete segment. J.D. Larabee did some art work for me and I’ve never even met the guy. Jason Morris said he was good and I emailed him on MySpace. He sent me some artwork and it was pretty much spot on from the git-go. I’m digging these bits. It’s some of the best writing I’ve done for satire.


Soon I will finish the latest one and get it online. Each one successively gets more out there. It’s nice to see the public reaction to these get better as each one comes out. I think the best is yet to come. Once I get 2-3 more put out, the real marketing can begin. I haven’t even started yet and I’m already at over 45,000 views on combined sites.

Until next time….

Nice interview.

Are you nervous when your movie plays before an audience for the first time?

I get the see my short LURE at a new state of the art digital theater in about 3 weeks as part of http://caindiefilmfest.org/ The block it plays in is expected to sell out.

Do you pace the back of the theater? ;)

James Cameron was quoted/interview that the worst thing about directing was "when lights go down at the first preview." Page 219 The Film Director, Richard L. Bare.

 I don't know if "nervous" is the right word. I'm eagerly anticipating, and excited, but rarely ever "nervous".

 Nope. I seat myself dead center of the group of people or near the front so I can see, feel, and hear every person's reaction around me. It's an immersive experience for me to try to see and hear and experience the movie through OTHER people's eyes, ears, and minds. An audience is an amorphous, uncontrollable mob that varies from group t  group and the beast that is a crowd is one that most people aspire to control.

A preview screening determines the fate of a studio movie. It's not like opening night with the public. Two different animals and two VERY different out comes.
