I apologize once again for the sporadic posting over the last few weeks but I'm back now, in time to finish the week! You may notice that you have some trouble accessing the archives, but I'll be working on that slowly and will provide updates as that comes along.

Email me your suggestions for how the film should play out: I'll put up the suggestions on Wednesday the 6th and the winner will have his film shot by these two masters. Here's the film in case you forgot:

Oh and pssst to you Chicagoans. Tentatively save the date of August 21. There seems to be a whiff of Ha-Ha in the air....
