In Chicago - DVD available nation wide Starting Today

I’m in chicago right now and starting today the new Four Eyed Monsters DVD that comes with a free CD and the new episodes is in Borders nationwide.

Please support our filmmaking and come out and get this jam packed DVD/CD set!!!!!

Also I’ll be doing an appearance at at Borders in Chicago. The plan is to project episodes 9 to 13 but the borders location doesn’t have a projector so i’ll be making some calls tomorrow to line one up (any leads welcome). Also Ben and Bruno will be attending and performing a few songs. They are an amazing band that did the music in Episode 13.

Time: 6:30 pm

Location:

Borders Book Store
595 Central Avenue
Highland Park, IL 60035

After this event I’ll be going with Ben and Bruno over to their show which is taking place at a bar called Quenchers. It’s on the corner of Western and Fullerton. That show is at 9:30 pm.

Come to both these, should be a lot of fun!

Here is their flyer for the 9:30 show:

Drexel University: Episodic Cliff Hangers & Spontaneous Camera Attacks

At Drexel University in Philidelphia on Monday I showed a clip of Episode 12. After that I spoke a bit about spontaneous filmmaking and always having a camera on hand in case you want to document something.

Then I talk about episodic cliff hangers and a structure we found ourselves coming back to time and time again. Jason, who produced Chuck and Buck brought up the fact that dickens released his first few novels serialized in the paper. Jason also mentioned the age old complaint that about there being a lot of bad stuff out there because of the democratization of filmmaking.

It's agreed that the promise is in better filtering and recommendation enginges. Then Jonathan asks us what did to raise revenue with Four Eyed Monsters. After my answer the tape runs out and then Brian Announces to the classroom a new project they are doing called "Nokia Productions" and says a press release with full details will come out on April 25th.
