“A film is born when first thought of, and then really it’s all gruel-sprinkled salad days till final cut; at least this is how our film feels to me. The rest is Afterlife! And what better way to kick off the afterlife for our happy, kooky project than at the Tampa Bay Underground Festival in early December? A festival I submitted to simply because I loved their home-page image of a python strangling, or possibly making love to, an alligator (what an extraordinary position). This is Year One of the TBUFF, so the terrain is entirely Unknown, and for all I know we are the only film in the festival, but I must say I am enjoying the process so far. Their emails are charming, playful, direct, and paint a picture of both enthusiasm and competence. Also, the screen will be big. I am delighted. I realize very few of us, if any, will be able to attend. But our afterlife is only beginning, and afterlives tend to be infinite. I will of course let you all know more as the knowledge comes in. Till very soon!”
