Caged Birds Part 1


Howdyalles! Hope you guys are awesome...

Me,I am tired. Bushed. Why? Well part of 2013’s “Get Shit Done!” list includes mealready getting shit done!
Whatshit is getting done? Well... we’re making a movie yawl!! Woohooo!

Sowith the aid of my trusty homey Melissa you can find her on Twitter we’ve spent copious amounts oftime, i.e 3 weeks working on this little project called Can Caged Birds sing. Yes,draw the allusions you want to draw, we like it!

Aftertwo weeks of planning and preparing, going through rigorous auditions, blood,sweat and cake (see rice cakes for me!) we found or perfect cast! Pure blisspulsed through our veins until the first speed hump, 3 days prior to our firstshoot. Lead actress out. Hotly followed by recasting of lead actor and actress.

ThankfullyI have been blessed with thee bestest Galentine (aka Girl-Valentine) in the formof my bff, you can find her here. Though she spends her days wading throughapplications and court drivel, she has happily (albeit begrudgingly) filled inas our lead actress-all with no performance background. Trust me, this lady iskilling it. I’d link you to our leading male but he appears to be somewhat ofan enigma i.e. cannot be found on social media!

Nowthis short film is headed straight to the loving arms of the DurbanInternational Film Festival (if you guys are reading this, please love us and accept our submission!!! I shall make you brownies!!)

Filmingbegins tonight! Studio bound straight after work and couldn’t be more pleased!

Overand out!

Resolving to Resolute...or something

Dear, gentle readers, how wonderful it is to converse with you once again!

Evidently 2013 is set to be a busy year, as evidenced by the fact that I have renamed it "The Year of Getting Shit Done".

Normally I have a highly bohemian like need to not confine myself to the rigours of resolutions, bucket lists and the The Secret (retardedly inane book, tells you to think positive. Yes that's it.). But sadly this way of thinking has not got me as far as I'd like? Well this isn't to say I'm not fairly pleased with life in general because I am...but sometimes you just need a little more.

Which leads me to this! My little list of things to GET SHIT DONE!!!!

GET SHIT DONE

1. Learn a spot of coding.
2. Work on learning actual photography and not just dabble exclusively in macro-photography?
3. Make a bucket list.
4. Someday enter DIFF.
5. Try to stop getting 'hangry' so much, i.e. hungry-angry
6. Write a little more. It's totes a muscle.
7. Generally be nicer to everyone.
8. No doing my doormat impersonation. That shit be done.

I am painfully aware that this list is fairly similar to my resolution list, well that just cos I'm consistent so yeah, that's it.

Now bearing in mind that Marx says that man is a constantly evolving being, this list will most likely evolve and grow. So high five self and let's GET SHIT DONE!!!!!!!
