An old interview...

 
I was a guest on the "Let's Chat" podcast waaaay back in 2014 while we were working on HEAD.
Chris Revill is a great host, and we've had a couple other chats since then.  But this one popped up on YouTube about a week ago and I thought it would be fun to share!

Thanks for having me on Chris!

The only liable limitation is yourself.

Happy Birthday!

You came into my home the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  So that's the day I call your birthday.

Happy Birthday Penny!

Happy Thanksgiving.

 She crawled out from under the blankets and asked:

"Food ready yet?"

"Victims, aren't we all?" 

Where is this movie???

 

Wait... It's done filming???

Sunday was a wrap on principal filming for "Bernice, Too"

What that means is all the major shots are done.  All that may be left to film are a couple little things we may have missed along the way, or if we come up with something to add while editing.

But for all intentions - the movie is done filming.

It's been quite a trip.  We hoped to have this out a year ago.  But, well a pandemic happened.  And life happened.

But we did it. 

By hook or by crook we did it.

Thank you to Mike for coming up with the idea for this flick and for sitting with me as we took it to the next level of weird.  And thank you to the whole Elmwood crew for all the ideas, skits, and pure talent that you all brought into making this movie.

To all the Kickstarter bakers - Thank you too!  For your patience and support!

The genius that is Ricky is now editing the flick...  

Hold on to your hats - 02/18/2022 "Bernice, Too" is coming!  Pants Optional.

Wore it out, but wore it well...

 

I must have really upset the Facebook overlords this weekend.

They now consider this website/blog to be spam, and they have blocked me from posting anything at all on Instagram.

It's kinda funny.  

I prefer to use this site anyway...  So I'll be sticking to it going forward.

The FB and IG I have that are personal will still be there, but only going to use it for sharing Elmwood Productions stuff.  

That's A Wrap - "Bernice, Too"

"Where's the sense in staying right?"

 

This album got me though a lot.

Came out about a year before my mom passed away.

And in that year and the year that followed this on was play on a more than regular basis.  
Late nites in the dark, long drives, even a drive to move to Florida...
Been spinning it a lot again lately.

Thank you Mr. Bowie for being part of the soundtrack of my life.
