What's the solution?

As most of you know, I have been working on my movie for a while and we finally have locked the edit and are just doing the final sound design now. The movie is The Awkward Kings of Comedy. Of course, at the same time I have been trying to finish the fist pass on the visual effects for Roboto Supremo, the movie that I am making with a giant robot and Michel Gondry starring as the mayor of Tokyo.

Here's my point.

My sleep schedule is completely off now. I have no idea how to get it back on track. I have stayed up until 7 for a few nights in a row and I have no way of getting back on track. One of my friends suggested that I stay up a day and a half and then go to sleep. does that sound right? sounds crazy to me, or what if I end up falling asleep in the middle of the afternoon and then wake up in the middle of the night and have to do it all over again?

Sigh.

Crack Heads, Try Harder!

If you are a crackhead, I suggest that you reach for the stars.  How do I know that craxck-heads are not reaching for the stars?  Because sadly, the crack-whore is the most popular crack profession. 

 

Every once in a whle you get a crack-electronics salesperson, but even then fi you don't want the rusted toaster oven with the power cord missing that they have in their Immediate inventory, they immediately offer to suck your dick for the same price.  It doesn't matter if you're a woman when they offer it to you… It's just their way of sayingm "I really want some crack, and for that, my bony body can be your playground."

 

So crack heads, try harder!  Be a crack-lawyer.  A crack-doctor.  A crack-president.

 

Putting the adjective "crack" before any profession can be a good thing for all of us.  It guarantees three things.

 

                Lower Prices )Everything is five dollars)

                Aggressive Salesmanship

                And if you are they least bit disatisfied with their service, even a crack-physicist is still willing to suck your dick.

The End of Estonia


Pictured above: The manager and curator of the Non Grata Art Container in Estonia sits in front of the Sauna cooling pool and laughs uncomfortably at one of my jokes.

My second attempt at interacting was also a disaster. Things may have one awry when I referenced the first unsuccessful time I was in a sauna. There was a nice Finnish lady in the sauna with me and then I decided it would be interesting to say:

ME: Last time I ws in the sauna, I rated the hairiness of people's balls.

HER: Why were you looking at people's balls?

ME: Well, we were naked. How can you avoid looking at people's balls the first time you go to a sauna?

HER: The first time I went to the sauna, I was taken by my grandfather.
I took a moment to think.

ME: And what were his balls like?

Cue uncomfortable silence.

Well, I am am at the airport right now on my way to Helsinki and then to NYC. Overall I had a great time as a visiting artist to the Estonia chapter of Non Grata arts thingamabob. I et some very nice pople and overall amazing artists and managed to not have my throat slit by the Russian mafia.

I took a lot of video so I may be making an epc movie about my experience.

I think I want to try the sauna again in NYC. Anyone want to come?

Estonia so Far



Pictured above: Hot Swiss girl pours beer into a bag for me.... what?!

Okay, so I fly into Estonia and get picked upp by the festival coordinator and his brooding artist sidekick. All is god.

We get to the artists quarters that is in the inside of a repurposed old factory. Very cool if you want everything to look like an old horror mvie, not so cool if you aew planning on sleeping ther, which they were planning on for me. I see that I have plenty of typos behind me, but fuck it. The shining light of my trip so far has been the nude sauna on the first day of the trip. It was fun and everyone was nude, like 4 guys and on dutch girl. I decided to give out an award for the hariest balls. (You can't have naked people forgetting that they're naked, now can you?)

Our first screening was fun, if you like watching people who barely understand english trying to enjoy decidedly english comedy films. We have video of all of this. We ended the night last night by going to an Estonian disco. Lot's of tall, hyper-blonde women, and a ton more women than men. I don't now what the hell these people are eating, but my guess is villagers.

Movies + Estonia

Hey therer!

 

AWKWARD KINGS OF COMEDY

So we finished principal photography on the new feature that I am dirtecting and appearing in called The Awkward Kings of Comedy.  I am super excited about the post production that has just started on this.  Our hope is to get it into the South by Southwest film festival in March.  The mocie is about alternative black comedians that defy expectations starring Baron Vaughn, Eric Andre, Marina Franklin, Victor Varnado, and Hannibal Buress.  There's a great performance and a lot of inteviews and behind the scenes footage.  Here's a photo from the set.

 


 

ROBOTO SUPREMO

I don't know if you remember, but a long time ago I did a super low budget short called Roboto Supremo.  Well I remade it with bigger FX and costumes and the fantastic Miche Gondry as the mayor of Tokyo.  We are in post for it right now, but won't it be fun when it is done?  Giant robots, monsters and love.  Here is the first ever still from the movie.  The effects are a little temp, but you get the idea.

 


 

ESTONIA

In about an hour, I hop on a plane to Estonia!  I am  presenting films from my monthly comedy film festival with my best friend, and co-producer Jay Stern.  He rocks.  We're going to be all arty in Europe.  I will blog daily and send pics as well, telling you how things go.
