Miami and Opportunity

“Sixes and the One Eyed King” has been accepted into the Miami Underground Film Festival. I’d like to attend, as I’ve never been to Florida, but I’m not sure if I will, due to the expense. Miami is much closer than Oregon to Disneyworld and Epcot, and that would be a blast. Oh, for unlimited funds and the time to enjoy them!

Bison Motion Pictures is still seeking distribution for the film, although it's encouraging that Director Ray Nomoto Robison’s first film, “Die Before I Wake,” is now available on the Internet at sites like Best Buy.

Clips and the trailer for “Sixes and the One Eyed King” are up on YouTube.

I’m now two weeks into my Great Opportunity Experiment. I can’t say that much has changed in my life yet beyond saying “yes“ more to more fun things. Which is a good thing. I’m not too disappointed about the way the experiment is going so far, as I have an outpatient surgery scheduled for early February and don’t know if I’d want a big shake-up in my life until I’m done dealing with medical issues. My Opportunity Experiment has a couple of basic rules: 1) The opportunity doesn’t violate my moral core and 2) It doesn’t threaten my financial situation. Thus, attending the Miami Underground Film Festival would be an opportunity if the cost were reasonable. I’m afraid that airfare, hotel and everything might put it beyond my means at this point.

I’ve decided to start a filmmakers discussion group, something like a book discussion group but for people who make and want to talk about films. Chance Larsen agreed to host it at Animal House Coffee in downtown Medford. I’m looking forward to some interesting conversation.
