Smoke It

The storyboards for my short silent film with shadow puppets are a crack pipe away from being done, and I don’t have a puppet to direct, shoot, and star in it. Toybox is leaving me out to dry. And the intern for Manual Cinema has pedaled herself manually away from me. As much as I adore shadow puppets, I may end up acting in this film myself, it would not be pretty but it’s better than staring at a dumpster. On third thought, maybe it’s a collaboration with my illustrator Instagram “friend” from Ohio? Maybe there’s a way to combine my acting in the woods with his animated illustrations? I’m going to smoke this idea for the weekend and see how I feel on Monday.
