Some money.

Our first investor.
I guess I should be happy.
And I am – even if it’s small amount.
15k.
It will keep Acme afloat for another month.
But that's about it.
But the fact is… Someone invested, believe in Acme enough to give us money.
Anyway.
Been too tired and my motivation is toxified by the panic of having no money coming in to even think about writing about our struggles in this blog.
Plus, who wants to read about how difficult this is?
There is nothing riveting about this type of struggle.
Nothing in the least.

Things I'll write about, but will not post.. not quite yet...

Someday, hopefully in movie form (if we evver finish, if it ever gets released) all the details will be evident... but for now I am unable to write about the reality show that Gil and Dave sold (see the boys below). This is for a number of reasons, not the least which is that I do not want Gil and Dave (or anyone else we're filming) to read this (yeah, right... like any one will actually read this nonsense) and begin to change their behavior. I'll keep writing and eventually post them, but for now most of the entries will, I imagine, have very little to do with the footage we're capturing as they attempt to make their show.

More to come. See their website, Gil and Dave's, that is:

CACEOTHS SCRIBENDI -- That itch to write

CACEOTHS SCRIBENDI.
The incurable itch to write…
The itch right now is unbearable.
Not this blog!
But a script,
a novel,
a short story.
a poem... anything...
This, without question, is a residual generated from the creative energy garnered while writing the doc treatment.
Funny how I always fall back on writing…
It’s where I am comfortable.

Script, or something like one...

Spent the last few days
(while ill…
…while trying to slave the sting of turning down 1 million dollars…)
writing a treatment of the film.
What we've done, where I think (hope) it's going.
How I see it playing out in the edit.
This, in short, should help us sort what we still need, if there are any holes, give a template for the editor.
Have to say, that with Gil and Dave on board, letting us doc the whole process, I have hopes that we’ll captures some great creative moments.
It is so difficult, almost impossible to capture creativity on film (erm, I mean dv).
The Production Company -- we're still working on...
Don't foresee any real resistance – they seem to like the attention.
This is a welcome shot in the documentary’s skinny arm.
