Folks there is a new project beginning. Remember my friend Darrell's amazing short story, "Walter Ate A Peanut?" Well I am going back to PDX and we are going to turn it into an equally amazing short film. And here's how: Like Chris Marker's famous short "La Jetee" we are going to do it with a still camera and then edit the stills into a movie on my laptop. We are shooting for a budget of around a hundred bucks. Which is less than half the budget of the commercial that brought me to this lonely place at the top of the advertising food chain. Anyway like that commercial we will use next door neighbors exclusively as talent. Hopefully my old friend Kathleen Lopez is going to produce it. Tune in regularly to follow this hot, fast breaking story.

i've recently seen this film and was wondering about how you produced it... what camera did you use? and was a tripod necessary?
Canon 5d mark 1. No tripod, nope.
wow, it's really well done! i have always loved "la jetee" but didn't make the connection until reading up on your film after seeing it. i'm a new filmmaker who's just recently moved to portland so it was really nice to see something made in town!
Glad you liked it!
