Mood:
happyin that last week and a half, i've been published twice in the local paper, once (as mentioned in a previous blog entry) with my own little section at the bottom of the page, and i've performed publicly some poetry and made a movie from a script i wrote.
the local paper thing was some debate (me pro, some other people con) about dual language programs in elementary school
the public performance was at the "spoken word night" at GCC (where, since i haven't been updating this blog in a while, i'll mention i've been a student since winter semester this year). my first time up, i read a poem called "bored" and a poem called "two and two is five." then, a while later, the guy in charge asked if i wanted to go up again and i read "bondage to bondage." i got the feeling the audience liked it and sarah said i did great.
and, i mentioned it in passing in a previous blog entry last week i think, but the movie was in korean, for korean 101 at GCC. I wrote the script and starred as kyungchalkwan (police officer) and did what there were of the director/producer duties (bringing props, telling the other actors and the camera guy what to do). it's a simple little thing, a single scene basically, something like 15 camera setups to cover it though I specifically wrote it so it could feasibly be shot with a single shot. it's got no plot really, an incomplete mystery, a crime scene, a somewhat ornery detective, and in the end a talking dead guy. it was called chuseokaysuh sarin (murder on chuseok, chuseok being a korean holiday). i'm suppose to be meeting with my camera guy tomorrow, as he's also the editor, about finalizing what music goes on the final cut of the thing
just some more of my more (realtive to previous ones, that is) outgoing year
