No upcoming gigs :(

Not Happy Jan. I have nothing planned. And everything I want to go to has been sold out - Damien Rice (not Leith), Snow Patrol, The Killers.

And seems like no one wants to come with me to see Peter, Bjorn and John (yes, that's a music group and Swedish too) :( Let me know if you wanna come along, as I think the gig will be fun. It's cheap too.

The only thing I have planned (social-wise) is the Mardi Gras Film Festival Opening this Thursday night. I have a short film I edited in the selection, so it will be exciting to see the audience's reaction. So far, everyone seems to enjoy the film. I've edited the director's last 2 short films, and we seem to have this great collaboration going. Fingers crossed it leads onto a feature.

Usually with these things, however, at least half of the films selected are crap. There will be a few gems, but in general queer filmmaking in Australia is pretty tragic. Seems like it's hard to make a "coming out" or "drag" film well. I am dragging along 4 friends with me, so HOPEFULLY they won't get too bored with the evening's entertainment.

It was a great film - you should give us a bit of "behind-the-scenes" info. :)

oh i hear all the stories about what went down on set.

directors love coming into the edit suite to tell me about the million compromises they had to make and the madness of the shoot and I love hearing about it.

yes, some gems, some people even make great drag/coming out films that get special foreign screenings! :-D

PS I have just discovered the 'actor Jared Leto has had a band for 5yrs' thing. Who'd have thunk that the fight club pretty boy & alexander's lover would be screaming on rock stages at the same time. I'm discombobulated. I haven't decided on the music yet, must investigate. but he is so pretty, & good voice, I want to go to the 30seconds from mars show in May. In sydney. oh well. If you're looking for gigs, go to that & give me a report! And he's older than us, even though he looks about 20. bitch. They've got some sweet videos too, due to his wealth & actorly leanings no doubt. see The Kill & From Yesterday.
