Film & Video Production ... from University to Everyday ...



Yesterday with two Film & Video Production students of Point Park University (which is one of the top universities for digital movie making).

They are also (whiz-kid) "interns" for the Evan Edelist (who i sometimes luvingly refer to as "Hollywood Emmy Guy" or "Evan-the-Enabler") documentary film we've been working on involving Liz Berlin, Mr. Small's (Theatre-Recordings-Skatepark), Rusted Root, Pittsburgh, the-road, supporting scene(s), etc.


I am proud to be working with Billy & Kevin and instead of being one of those asshole dudes who think they know it all and couldn't possibly learn anything from anyone younger than them, on the contrary, I am open like a random door frame in the middle of a forest and lots of bright, brilliant sun shine comes on through along w/ a gentle breeze --- and I know I can learn from these two young lads (who are nonchalant, modest "bad asses" when it comes to movie making and going to university for it and all)... I had such a cool time that I wanna take them for beers and some food sometime soon and even when it doesn't involve an interview or editing or filming. Yeah, I had allot of pompous professors and met other people like the pompous professors but they weren't professors but just as pompous and close minded to the point where it was quite apparent they felt not many people had anything to offer for their enlightenment and certainly not anyone younger... you know ... what a drag ...


At any rate, Billy & Kevin interviewed me for the Evan Edelist (who i sometimes luvingly refer to as "Hollywood Emmy Guy" or "Evan-the-Enabler") documentary film that we've been working on involving Liz Berlin, Mr. Small's (Theatre-Recordings-Skatepark), Rusted Root, Pittsburgh...

Billy & Kevin have excelled in the program and one of their school projects/movies will be "screened" at Cannes Film Festival as part of the special program through Point Park University which Kevin qualified for and is providing him with this great opportunity.

In any event, we were enjoying drinking beers outside at a cafe` and conversing about equipment & gear, content, process, method, perspective, opportunity, etc. and foreign films from the 60's (having tremendous substance in all regards)...
