When you’re not working, are you still working? I mean, could the interaction with interesting people and great artists and thinkers be “work” in itself? I don’t pretend to have a bunch of fascinating things in my head erupting in a stead stream of brilliance: it’s collaborative, or a pastiche, or something. This [...]
Movie Update: Information Kills
One of the actors told me, “you need to figure out what this is about.” Another friend who read a bunch of male parts for me, despite being a woman, and that is an irrelevant fact anyways, she said: “You have so much going on, if you chose one thing and ran [...]
Bilingual Screenplays
Trying to find the screenplay to Pushing Hands online. I did get this interview with James Schamus, which is quite good. He’s the producer of two Lee movies, and works/owns Good Machine. He discusses working with Ang Lee on the Chinese and English movie screenplay. It went back and forth a lot, I [...]
Locations
Scouted a location today. I had planned to meet the guy who is my connection to this bar, but he flaked. No problem, talked to the owner myself. There’s going to be some tough issues: lighting, and dealing with the public. I wanted to get the entire place to ourselves for filming, but he wants [...]
Movie Update
Threw down some brewskies with producer last Sunday and she was feeling bad at not working on the spreadsheet. “All you have to do,” I told her, “Was tell me to write. That’s it!” She got into it and promised she would nag me. I got a few pages written the other day- Thurs [...]
Medau, Madame
Much like someone who says “I love this song!” or “I love this movie,” or “That is my favorite restaurant,” when everyone within hearing knows that they love every song/movie/restaurant, that is how I feel about Medau. It’s my favorite street! Next to Pacific, Hyde, John, the list goes on. How cute, how small, [...]
Here’s a little temple of heaven on a wet and wicked Tuesday.
Racism
Couldn’t sleep last night, and in the throes of daydreaming and anxiety thoughts, had an overwhelming concern that people would think my movie is racist. It’s good to question these things, it’s true, and I think when you talk about stuff, you get very [...]
Lovely Day
It is absolutely friggin gorgeous out today. Saw a small regatta out there in front of the Marina doing their thing. Not sure if it’s a race, or a class. Swimmers were taking advantage of the nice weather, at Aquatic Park. The tourists are just swarming around every possible corner too. Finally they can [...]

Rain and Fire
Realizing while driving to work today through really sodden streets downtown, that it’s not El Nino, no, it’s Global Warming! The rain is getting me down. At least I’m not experiencing the high winds and buckets of rain on the Bay Bridge like I was, back in [...]
Bocce Ball Courts
Not sure if anyone remembers the earlier post regarding how they are not using oyster shells in the bocce ball courts, but I do, and so for this travesty I inspected the courts. They look interesting. I’m glad it’s opening up this corner of the DiMaggio park and library.
