so, 29 hours away from the beginning of the festival, after a week of preparation (including an awesomely fun and simultaneously reassuring 8-hour drive-everywhere-and-buy-things session tonight), and after a month of planning ahead to make time to actually make the film on saturday morning/night...apple postpones the festival until "after the holidays".
ARRRRGH. so fucking frustrated. i don't usually write on here just to vent. it's usually, if it's venting at all, venting for a purpose. i don't have a purpose right now; i'm just fucking angry.
how the hell do you suddenly realize that you're having logistical problems setting up your worldwide internet film festival a day before it starts? especially if you're APPLE?
what the hell?!
it's been really fun getting ready for this, and though i absolutely love making movies and would probably throw my awesome and rewarding career as a teacher away in a second if i had a chance to make them regularly, i'm most disappointed because i feel like i've gotten to know a few people really well during this process and have begun to think of them as really good friends...and i was really looking forward to slogging it out with them this weekend. instead, now, it'll be back to the grind as usual all weekend, my next justifiable break coming whenever they decide to reschedule the festival for (january? march?)...that is assuming everyone will still be interested in participating by then (i sure will, but i can't speak for everyone else).
well i guess i have thanksgiving break and christmas break, but everyone (including me) scatters to the four winds at those times, so that doesn't really work so much for socializing.
our little "meeting" tonight was great and i was stoked about his film and the experience of making it. i guess the silver lining is that we'll have more time to prepare, to learn the ins and outs of final cut and camera-ing and whatnot...and i'm sure as it gets to be a few days from now and things return to normal the disappointment will disappear; it always does.
but right now i'm just really annoyed and i know the rest of the guys and gals are too, and that's even more annoying. this fucking sucks. i have to teach in five hours, so i guess i should go to bed. ugh.
