The Pangea Thing

Folks!
 

We did just screening in Burlington over the weekend and I have some dynamo shit to share about that experience but I’ll get to that in my next post. (Here’s a hint: biology-based knitting was involved – make of that statement what you will).

 
For now, I just wanted to give a brief shout out to Pangea Day. Here’s the scoop, on Saturday, at 11am Pacific time, there will be a series of international short films screening at 45 million locations around the world in 6000 languages (5 points if you can determine which of those figures are inaccurate).  I’m actually in Los Angeles right now at the Pangea Filmmaker Retreat where I will be doing "retreaty" things. Though, to be quite honest, the filmmakers I’ve met so far are super savvy international types that make really epic films about injustice and liberation and… other "epic-y" things so I’m not entirely sure if I belong among then. Alas, this is my chance to engage in the time-honored act of "fronting" like I belong. 

 
Also, here’s an interesting note: who sits on the Advisory Board of this event? A little fella named J.J. Abrams. He totally picked me up from the airport. We talked about what would be happening in season 4 & 5 of Lost. I gave him a lot of good suggestions. The poor kid needs some help wrapping up the narrative elements to his critically acclaimed, universally loved television series. That’s okay, sometimes we all need a little help, right?

 
At any rate, I hope you feel inclined to check out the Pangea Day films and show some support because if Pangea succeeds, we will have world peace! Which could be really cool. Unless you’re a hobbyist war-monger, in which case, you’d have to pick up some other hobby. Like, maybe hobbyist peace-monger?

 

Very soon I will hurl at you the most bloggy Nerdcore Rising update ever.
