Kentucky Friend Failure and A.D.D.

Some years back, amidst the chaos of my A.D.D., I decided to shoot a film.  It was a film that emulated my favorite cult classics; Kentucky Fried Movie, Groove Tube and Amazon Women on the Moon. It was called Channel Surfing, a film encompassing a collection of skits poking fun at today’s television and pop culture. I ran out of money and could not finish the film so I cut into a TV pilot.  Brilliant move on my part.  In never aired not did it get picked up but at some point in time, I will set up a blog and pay tribute to my long forgotten Channel Surfing.  In the meantime, I will tease you, my blogging audience with some bits and pieces...

Last night, I sat around a table of filmmakers at Cafe Noir.

After a round of mojitos and an hour's worth of conversation, I divulge my personal experience of spending thousands of dollars on a film, never having been able to finish the film and never reaping any financial benefits from it.  "Oh, that's nothing.  Everyone has one of those under their belt", one filmmaker told me.  I needed to hear that. 

I guess its the unpredictability of the “creative process” and the insatiable desire to keep creating that keeps me inspired as an artist to "keep on truckin...."

Boy,
Whadya know...what bad luck you ending up at that table!! Hate to tell you Kali, but at my table we were discussing all those losers who blow thousands making a movie that's never finished while we did so for free and got school credit for it.

Could not resist that...sorry. %>)
