I've been doing a ton of movie watching. I met up with Richard Gale, the Director of "The Horribly slow murder with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon", as well as Jake West, the Director of "Doghouse", a very funny horror comedy feature from the UK. We went to dinner at a restaurant along the street where the Zombie walk was happening. There's nothing like eating carbonara while being serenaded by rotting flesh and chainsaw exhaust.
After dinner we rushed back to the Melia for the premier of Zombieland. We sat down in the filmmakers section. The speaker went to the stage and invited the filmmakers up. Suddenly, four people in front of me stood up. In the row in front of me was Abigail Breslin, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, and the Director Ruben Fliescher. See the video below.
Zombieland was absolutely hilarious. Without giving anything away, it answers the question everybody wonders when they're watching a zombie movie. What celebrities have turned into zombies?
I also saw "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus", which was Heath Ledger's last film. It's fantastic, and it's very, very Gilliam.
After the last screening, everyone got onto a bus and drove a few miles outside Sitges to the closing party. There I talked to Tim League, the director of Fantastic Fest in Austin Texas, about sending him a copy of my movie.
I have one last day of movie watching. I leave Spain at 10 AM Wed morning.
Until we meet again.
Awesome stuff. It seems like you've been more successful than you could have imagined. I'm not surprised. I lived with you for a year; I knew you'd be successful. Just believe in your skills.
