Up, Down

So its been another of those roller-coaster ride few days. For one, I had to move up my trip to San Francisco for Wednesday (which is a lot sooner than I expected to travel!) and for another I find myself once again wondering what I'm going to do come November and I'm done shooting the documentary. Edit it, I suppose. But I think I also need to get a job then. Where? Who knows. Some things are falling apart in some ways right now...which is stressful.I have a headache.I suppose I haven't slept very well recently because of all the stuff I've had...

Touring Ecuador

Well, as I posted about a week ago, one of my best friends from college, M, came down to visit. She left on Thursday early in the morning on the 2nd American Airlines flight out of Quito. I was pretty sad to see her go. It was nice having M around here and taking a bit of time off of work. I must say that I definitely needed it...especially with the decision to delay one of our productions. I was feeling sort of lost as to what I could do between January and April before we started it up again. However, things are slowly working out again I think....

Going down a new path

So the past week has been somewhat tough. Things were at an all-time high on Monday. I managed to score producing another film project, but then yesterday, in true film post-grad fashion, I got sent to the dumps again. It looks like we might have to postpone our principal project, which means I can't do the other project and also makes me unemployed for 4 months between January and April to boot. On top of that, my student doc got rejected from yet another festival and my friends were away somewhere so they couldn't pick up the phone. It all feels...

Playlist Two

Here it is! Playlist Two!(1) Airplanes (B.o.B. Feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore) - Hey. It's on a lot on the radio! And very catchy. I found myself singing along to it whenever it came on the radio so I got it. I must say I'm enjyoing it!(2) SexyBack (Justin Timberlake Feat. Timbaland) - I got tired of Bad Romance as an alarm clock and heard this on the radio the other day. And I was like...Oh yeah! That was a good song! It is good to jam along to in the morning. Just my two cents!(3) Secrets (OneRepublic) - Kind of embodies my feelings about...

Andean Comforts

Phew. A lot has been going on lately, leaving me with next to no time for blogging. In the past week or so, I've managed to learn film finance, write two business plans, pick up a third project, secure local distribution, and get my film production company certified by New Mexico. I co-own a film production company. That's pretty crazy. If you would have asked me if I would be the owner of my own business 3 months ago, I would have maybe thought that you got the wrong person. But there it is.Incredible, no?Anyhoo, the food hasn't been particularly...
