Blood Simpleton

Finished shooting a new short film a number of weeks ago. Finished editing and color correction. Just waiting to get the score back from the composer. It's another comedy.

It was a major accomplishment working with a whole new set of actors and finding a new cinematographer and crew to work with for the first time. A friend who worked with me on the previous film had the lead role.

Will be going to the new Cirque du Soleil show, Iris, about the world of cinema, early next month at the Kodak Theater with a woman I'd gone out on a couple dates in the past. I was surprised she said yes when I contacted her. After our second date she messaged me that she felt we were leaning more towards friendship and not anything else. Story of my hellish life. But she changed her mind it seems when I brought up this show. She is no longer on the dating site we originally met on. Maybe something will come of it, maybe not.

At a lot of the employees have moved into one of the two new buildings being constructed at work. The old building I work in feels kind of like a ghost ship. I am liking the lack of people and the silence of the empty offices.

I've thought about writing a screenplay about a guy on the end of his rope, a man on the edge, who is a strange loner, drives a classic American muscle car that he takes good care of, who makes a good living at a dull job, who doesn't communicate with people much, who is trying his hand at online dating but not having much success, he spends a lot of his time seeing movies, hanging out at the local luxury cigar shop with the other lonesome losers, brooding, angry, not being able to connect with women, who keeps his simple apartment clean, the theme music would be the theme from the Coen brothers film Blood Simple.

Death becomes me.

Or not.

I vote not.
