More Images from LAFF

I never did mention the movies I saw. I am a working girl, so many of the films I wanted to see previewed on the weekends. I saw:

Zero Bridge-touching tale about a pickpocket teenage orphan in Kashmir.

I Sell the Dead-very quirky, but fun.

Wah Do Dem-which won the narrative award, by the way! White boy lost in Jamaica. What's not to love about that?

The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia-just like it sounds. Produced by Johnny Knoxville.

Not a large list, but I missed quite a few I intended to see. My boyfriend volunteered at the festival so my tickets were gratis! It was at this same festival that he decided he wanted to produce some projects I'm working on. In LA for less than two months and he already caught the filmmaking bug!

More photos. Excuse my Blackberry camera:


Tap dancing king of West Virginia.

Happy Filmmaking!

"Racists for Obama?" I smell a doc!

Over at gawker.com, there is a blog post about some racist Americans who happen to be voting Obama. Only in America! Their logic is what baffles me. Apparently racist Americans believe that Obama is the better answer to the crippling economy, although they would never let him hold their wife's purse. Reminds me an episode of All in the Family where Archie Bunker watches a football game, enjoying the "spooks running and scoring" (in case the word "spook" escapes you, that means "black person" in racistspeak).

The article states:

"This is the hot new trend of late October: openly racist white people for Obama! It began with random tales of canvassers talking to voters who plainly said they were 'voting for nigger'.'"

Rest of the article is here.

Someone make a film on these people! It is screaming to be made!

Happy filmmaking!
