Beauty is Imperfection

Stephanie and I were busy yesterday shooting Episode 5 of “The Retributioners,” titled “The Former BFF.” It has been a difficult episode, with many impediments, including the last minute loss of locations, on-set mishaps, and the resistance of certain local residents, but we somehow have got 80% of it in the can. If we can get a one-minute record store scene filmed we’ll be done; we have yet to find a record store, though, where the staff returns calls.

Meanwhile, a happy Mother’s Day to those of you who are mothers. I was amused to see that the Independent Film Channel started off their programming with mother-son incest classic “Spanking the Monkey” this morning. Another thing the channel likes to do is run “Sid & Nancy” on Valentine’s Day. I think someone over there is a smart ass.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your Mother’s Day as much as the characters in “Spanking the Monkey” did … no wait, that came out wrong!
