RED HANDS diary

Lot of stuff going on. Been so busy I haven't had time to bring everyone out there up to speed. Basically, it looks like we'll have the money to finish RED HANDS by the end of April, or then sometime in August.

Dandy.

But, I hate waiting for anything, so I've decided to shoot an all guerrilla version of RED HANDS called DIRTY RED HANDS. Have invited another director to jump on board. The cast will be the same except for J. Arthur Sunday who has chosen to sit this round out. We're scheduled to shoot from the 11th of this month to the 18th.

Naturally, I've gotten sick again. What else? I've found this amazing location downtown. Basically we'll be renting a room in this crackwhore hotel and shooting until we get arrested, or our cameras get taken away. Every location and shot will be stolen. We are paying for nothing, except some food. This version of the movie will look extremely different, and I think will be the BREATHLESS of the 21st century. I'm producing, since it looks like Kim Bastyr has gone on to other projects. That's okay - I knew it was bound to happen eventually.

Tomorrow the "team" is meeting at Bukowski bar in the area we'll be descending upon. We'll talk about strategy and technique. At the very least this guerrilla shoot will give the cast and crew a chance to practice for the more traditional shoot later on. I of course, think we'll also make an amazing movie.

I'll keep you posted.
