Quiet before...

For the hard working people who run the film festivals in San Francisco, Newport Beach, and Indianapolis, and for us filmmakers invited to these festivals, this is the weekend before the fun begins. Since Friday afternoon, when I shipped off the last box with  screening masters and publicity materials, I hear a clock ticking away, loud and clear. Three days to go until I drive to UC Irvine, for the 6:30 AM presentation at The Inside Edge. Four days to go until Someguy leaves just as early to get to our screening of 1000 Journals, at the International Film Festival in Indianapolis. On Saturday, we'll meet at our first of four screenings at the San Francisco International Film festival. I'll leave S.F. for the day on Sunday, to attend our screening at the Newport Beach Film Festival. On Monday, Someguy and I will talk about the film at Jefferson High School in Daly City, and in the evening at 9:00 PM, we'll have our second S.F. screening... With an itinerary like this, we are so depending on airlines and airports operating on schedule, flights not grounded for safety checks, airlines not suddenly calling it quits... Something to better not worry about.

Enjoying the quiet before, I met with 1000 Journals contributor Sandra Steh yesterday for a bike ride along the beach. Sandra is visiting Los Angeles, from Munich, Germany, and as she is a very talented and energetic photographer, she did what she does best, making tons of contacts and working at various photo shoots around town. And now I'm back at the computer, filling in my iCal with dates and flight numbers... The next two weeks are going to be crazy and fun!

I love this photo by Sandra, and she must like it too: It's her Facebook profile picture, and it's the title image of her website.
