Here’s a movie I’m really looking forward to: Ink, an independent film from writer/director Jamin Winans that’s playing in Denver now and that I hope will come to Seattle. It’s starting to build buzz as the next cult hit, and I’m doing my part to help that happen, because the trailer looks fantastic — eerie, fast-moving, layered, and maybe even some decent roles for women (say amen!). Take a look.
While you’re waiting for Ink to find its national audience and open in a theatre near you, check out this short film Spin, also from Winans. It’s a model of condensed storytelling, really nicely done.
I’ve been busy with, well, business — Humans At Work, job interviews, household matters. I’ve been away for a little while from fiction and from screenplays. To see work like this makes me want to dive back in and lose myself in some big project that will take me over, take me down deep, take me somewhere fascinating with some interesting characters… I can’t do that just now, but you know what? I think I’ll take take the the afternoon off and watch a movie.
Enjoy your day.
