We Know Such Lovely People

I feel behind on my blogging, but I feel behind on pretty much everything! Not only are we keeping to our twice-weekly episode uploading schedule, we're also preparing our symposium for Tiki Oasis, for which we're making a short film, and we're working on some fabulous merchandise to add to our online store ASAP. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't fraying at the edges a little bit. However, it's been so much fun and we've been helped by so many sweet friends who've let us take over their homes or parties to shoot, who've appeared on camera and who have helped by moving equipment, making us drinks and generally being very fabulous people. We would be up a creek without them. I'm afraid to leave someone out, but I want to specifically thank Kiki and Greg, Dennis and Margie, Joe, Zach, Donna and Chris, along with everyone else who is wishing us well and helping to spread the word about the show, leaving us supportive comments, etc. You're the ones keeping us going when we feel like we're about to lose our minds!

I cannot wait to see this scene finished and edited!

 

What Would Roger Corman Do?

A different kind of shooting day, but no less boozy!

We're making a short horror film that is a tribute to the mid-century horror films we love for a special project (online late summer) and did some shooting (and some boozy live videos) Saturday night! Pretty much nothing makes me happier than shooting video and when two of my very favorite people are involved, it's heaven! Our dear friend, who also happens to be a wildly talented actor, Zach Zito played the bartender and Paul and I were also in front of the camera. Fortunately the camera has a remote control and a monitor. And we got to employ the green screen!

We'll be getting more video for this masterpiece when we're in California next week, which is very exciting. I'm sure you can tell from the setup that we have nothing resembling an actual budget, but, when we have grand plans and zero cash we just ask ourselves What Would Roger Corman Do?

Stay tuned for more soon!
