Last weekend I was invited to go to the coast with Andy and Dar Miller but that kind of fell through. The wife wasn’t feeling up to it and it as a good thing to. There was a major emergence Saturday morning which would of ruined my weekend if I had gone. So I ended up getting myself mixed up in another 48hr short film fiasco. I’m not saying this to be jackass they really are a fiasco!
For the most part I have given up doing short films for festivals and what not. Unless you are doing because a) it’s fun b) it helps you refine your craft or c) really really bored, there really is no point to it. Your not going to get discovered making a short film. Well it’s been a while since I directed a film so I’m going with all of the above. 
Ryan Harris and Mike Martinez her partner in crime entered Team Nosferatu into the National Film Challenge. It has some sort of relation to the National 48hr Film Project. They were in need of a director, cinematographer and an editor. Well the got me instead, but hey I think I’m not half bad at this shit. Everything got kicked off on Friday. I was in Austin hanging out with some friends. While having dinner at Kerby Lane, I Ryan called and told me we landed horror. Score! I really didn’t have any ideas worth talking about. Kerby Lane was all decorated for a Halloween. My favorite holiday. While eating I looked up and saw this bundle of twigs. Then I realized it was the Blair Witch symbol. I have an idea! So I called Ryan back told her we should do something like the Blair Witch Project. They had already thought of that. Well some much for originality on my part.
The writers can up with really good story. It’s kind of like that show Ghost Hunters meets the Blair Witch. I get back in San Antonio around 2:30AM read the script and I’m off to bed at 3:00AM. Saturday morning I was rudely awakened at 8:00AM for an emergency at work. My boss gave me the story and I coordinated everything for him. He was out of town while all of this was going on. So I rallied the troops and waited for out part. Once the issue was resolve I zipped off to meet up with the team, but Bandera road was all screwed up because of construction. Insult to injury. I get to Ryan’s apartment so where around 2ish. 3 hours late. Mind you I haven’t met any of these people yet. So nobody knew what they are getting themselves into.
