Kino Short of the Week: DEAD WHISTLE STOP

Daniel’s not going to the office today. A dying man asked him to deliver a letter. Though he’s not sure who the dying man was. Could it have something to do with The Illuminated Brotherhood of the All Seeing Eye?

I've been enjoying reading the comments on my short, the gist being...this film made me feel funny, I don't like it, to this film made me feel funny, I like it. Thankfully more of the latter..

Looking forward to talking about how to make low budget sci-fi, which for Future Perfect, included gaffer taping multiple hair dryers to light stands and pointing them at an inflatable paddling pool full of mud for 4hrs.

@RealBobMortimer reading ...And Away. Filled with Boro nostalgia. Our nickname for Piggersgill was Pickers-jelly legs, on account of his shaking about when telling us off. Probably had some condition in retrospect, but we were kids.

[Sean Mckenna @seansaysstuff]

@JF_Martel https://t.co/ARkx5SFTy6 it's kind of the opposite but this old Belushi SNL sketch is in a similar ballpark. Makes me chuckle anyways.

@weirdstudies @JF_Martel Vonnegut was not a fan of semi colons.
"Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college."
