Shoeros for Haiti!!!
just thinking about the crisis is Haiti makes my head spin and my heart heavy. but i stumbled on to a great way to help out...
shoes!!
the group soles4souls collects gently used shoes and distributes them to people in need across the globe, and they are making a huge effort to help out in haiti.
who knew that those old sturdy dependable shoes in the back of the closet that never see the light of day could be so helpful? after years of neglect and feeling left behind all the fabulous boots and wedges and platform sandals, it turns out that those comfy but hideously embarrassing crocs, uggs, and workboots can finally step into the spotlight and become heros!
shoeros!!
drop off locations in the bay area happen to be at 2 of my favorite shoe stores, which is also a nice way to fill up the space the shoeros leave behind:
SHUZ 6012 College Ave., Oakland
SHOE BIZ 877 Valencia St., San Francisco

Poster Progression!!!!!
the posters are going to look AMAZING!!!
i so wish i could go into detail and describe - but that would ruin the surprise.
but i will say the photo shoot went smoothly and we are in motion, so that's reason enough to be excited, let alone the fact that the design is hella fresh.
so the india outsourcing idea is more challenging than expected, kind of wish the virtual assistants were more like, i don't know, genies or something. without all the tedious "explaining" of the projects and such. and without all the like, "budgets". ah well, it won't work for everything but i do see some situations where the approach might really come in handy. will keep you posted.
busy, busy, busy!
time marches on!
no response yet on the free movie download idea from Neil Gaiman or John Cleese. they're probably just hella busy and haven't had time to tweet a response back to me yet.
so anyhoo...
i'm thinking that even if the free download idea is confirmed and validated via celebrity endorsement, we're still going to have to sell some copies of the film in order to eat, drink, and continue to shop for shoes on a weekly basis.
so we'll have to start thinking of some cool things to sell besides just the dvd.
people will probably want something else along with it.
i think it would be drugs.
partly cloudy, 90% chance of film
now we are nearly complete with the film, as technical folks spend the next few weeks crunching sound and f/x, then we'll get to a final sound mix and presto! finished film.
or at least, this is the plan as we now have it.
so we'll be heading into the vast unknown of finished film land. clearly, this means we must nail the path forward to promote, screen, and distribute the film.
or at least, this is the plan as we now have it.
but i'm also intrigued by the hare-brained scheme of giving it away for free online. this would require much less distributor schmoozing and would also possibly give more money directly to the actual filmmakers (myself included). i mean, not money from the film download itself, hence the word "free", but some kind of ancillary cash flow scenario. could be genius, could be a trainwreck, hard to tell with these insane internet ideas.
so naturally, to achieve some clarity on the concept, i have decided to consult the magic 8 ball oracle of the internet.
i.e., twitter.
decided to start tweeting at various twitter celebrity types (ok, actually just yoko ono, kevin smith, rainn wilson and guy kawasaki) who would presumably be highly opinionated, but so far the oracle has only replied
"try again later"
indeed i shall... -xuxE
