Moviemaker
Man - I feel a lot better..The last time I wrote here I said I was feeling sick and I was indeed, I just recovered from the high fever I had over the past 2 days. I spent the whole of Friday and Saturday in bed, sleeping. It was bizarre - as I lost quite a bit of energy and felt dizzy whenever I got up to walk. It is only today that I feel a little bit of life coming back into me. Feeling fine now.
Picked up the summer edition of 'Moviemaker' magazine and inside is a small mugshot of me along with a para or so on 'Memories' -which is thrilling. The article was on 'budget-lite' movies by Matt Power, who got in touch with me because Jason Santo from Microcinemascene referred my name to him. It is a small world - in a way and it is thrilling to know that passion in the movie can make a difference. If you do buy that magazine, do read the cover article on Werner Herzog, which was an eye opener for me.
I have reached the half way mark with the Sandman series. It is compelling and extremely hard to put down. If you do get a chance, do read it - you won't be disappointed.
On the other hand, I am still eagerly waiting to hear what kind of reception 'Memories' got at Microcinema Festival. I think it makes a huge difference for me because that is a true grass roots level film festival and I am surprised that there are not more around in different countries. {Incidentally both Microcinemascene as well as Rewind Video - the co-organizers of Microcinema Festival got a good mention in 'Moviemaker' magazine as well...}.
Anyway - I better get back to 'Sandman'....Will update you if I get to know anything about 'Memories' reception or any further updates.
Ciao,
Amit
{P.S - Finally saw 'Mystic River' and liked the cinematography and acting but it was incredibly slow paced..a nice opposite from the hollywood blockbusters but a little too extravagant in it's extreme... }

Funny - I just bought that Moviemaker in LA, and opened it up, and who was in it but you! Was going to ask if you needed a copy but guess you've got it covered.
Werner Herzog is incredible. I strongly recommend reading HERZOG ON HERZOG - one of the most inspirational books of any kind of all time. If you're feeling cheap, you can borrow my copy when I get back. He also has so many interesting and good movies, many of which have really interesting commentaries as well, and BURDEN OF DREAMS is an amazing documentary on the making of FITZCARRALDO.
