Here's me going mental. Actually, my little nephew took that photo. Great.
I'm not sure if I've announced this yet (on the blog anyway) but TRiBE has finished shooting. Now, Sarah the Editor, who was also kind enough to 'fix' my car radio (see picture) and I are sorting through the hundreds of hours of footage to be able to put together something that atleast vaguely represents a film. It's a big job and I'm so grateful that Sarah's on board for it. I tend to melt into a mess of fire and brimestone after 10 minutes in the edit room, and she'll be enduring days upon days of it (not to mention the days upon days of putting up with my pushy ass - I'm all like "cut this bit here, do this bit first, make this bit good, sing me a song I'm bored"). My hat goes off to her.
But we're all on semester break at the current time. But the film is still being picked at. Between my job (at the school - I get to take the children bowling on friday, woot!), having the obligatory dose of fun, looking into avenues for work experience, and writing up applications for next year (gasp!), I have been watching through the TRiBE rushes and putting together what the first rough cut should kind of look like. So I threw out the script, and started plotting a story. I might even change the TRiBE. I'll tell you why in the next paragraph.
You see, there's 4 clubs covered in the film. We can all agree on that. 3 of those fit into the TRiBE idea that I was going for - the science fiction fan club, the nudist club, and the country music club. So that's all cool. One does not fit in. That's bad. The UFO club. You see, as a group, the UFO club did not want to be filmed. So what I have is really good material from two subjects in the group, they talk about the group and all, but the sense of TRiBE is missing. I'm not exactly sure what to do. And the thing is that the footage from the UFOlogists is probably the most interesting (once cut) in a kind of kooky way.
Any suggestions?! Send 'em in.

i thought you were going to say because the ufo club isn't really a club or a tribe but a CULT! just say when you introduce the ufo club segment in your spiffy suit which i want that everyone in this club are drawn together in a tribe moreso than the others because they all feel the same fear of the government and of outsiders in general.
i've written a new movie and we'll make it next week and i need you on board because you're a genius i'll talk to you more about this tomorrow when you will get a phone call out of the blue from me but not so out of the blue because i'm mentioning it here but it will be out of the blue if you don't read this so that would mean you would read it after the fact making this post seem even more silly than it is.
