Eighth Anniversary. Where Does the Time Go?

Well, how did I spend my eighth anniversary? Sick as a dog! I had some spaghetti to eat for lunch and it decided to play with my stomach all day and then at two in the freakin' morning, I ended up throwing up. On top of other things, I have been having encoding problems with Double Feature Theater Vol 2. First time, I accidentally forgot to check off that it needs to play next title after first title ends. First title is the FBI warning since footage from Traumatic Possession is shown on the DVDs. I wouldn't put an FBI warning on the disc if I just used the public domain films.

Then, when I did the encoding a second time, I forgot to add the chapter marks on the movie. I was like; "Shit!" And then, I decided to do the encoding in DVDAuthorGUI for the third time and the chapters were all over the place and I was like; "Fuck me!" So, I'm going to do the encoding again this week. I have Double Feature Theater Vol 3 encoding right now in Sony Vegas and it will probably be done tonight. I'm still working on the original concept for Double Feature Theater Vol 2. But, I felt that I wasn't ready for this one yet, so, I devised another double feature.

I started working on the poster art for the planned Orlando Eastwood Film Festival. Right now, it's just a work in progress and I didn't have poster art at the time for Chinese Hercules when I did it. Also, date and price and time are not finalized as I do not have everything booked. The plan is to travel the film prints and the digital screenings across the country, like the good old days where filmmakers took their films on the road. The first show will be in Ohio and who knows where I will have the second show.

I also plan on mixing it up and possibly getting other indie filmmakers involved and screening their works if I can cut them a deal on screening it. I'm still waiting on Chinese Hercules, the seller is finally shipping the item as he had a question about my address and I had to clear it up and wait a week longer. But, hey, I have Chinese Hercules in it's original aspect ratio. As far as I know, none of the DVD copies are like that. Plus, I have the film on beautiful celluloid!

Also, I did a google search and stumbled across a Czech, Romanian, and Spanish websites talking about Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. I'm pretty proud that it's getting some international chatter. I'm going to be getting some work done on getting the subtitle tracks created for the film. Especially once I get the director's cut finished.
