This was great! I’m officially hooked, can’t wait for the next installment. Just wondering if you could post a link to that website where you could buy a ticket to the future. It sounds pretty interesting.

I really enjoyed that, i remember when you were talking about the documentary on the spacejuck podcast and you were talking about the guy who thought you were an alien, those phone calls were great,thanks for the reconstruction!
Look forward to the next edition.
Your posting up the documentary too? That’s great!

Yes, or people who didn’t pitch because they simply weren’t prepared with an idea on the day. Alot of the time people didn’t pitch due to either being too busy with other school work, or just laziness.

But when you were selecting your crew, like the producer, composer and executive producer were you selecting from other people who wanted to be directors, and basicly just lost out to you in the Survivor-esque voting process?

There were a couple of people who had an idea that they had on hold, so the second mine started falling apart, they began discussing the logistics of their idea in the event of taking over.

I think this was very good. I’m a little concerned with the focus on the personal project, but I can not deny that this is very interesting. I am very excited that you will be posting the film, because I still very much want to see it. This is a little soap-opera like, but I guess I’m hooked. I’m looking forward to the next episode for sure.

I don’t think you’re boring. I enjoy people who are laid back, and I enjoy the dry humor. “Not unlike Survivor” was pretty funny. It’s hard to be funny when you don’t have anybody laughing at you, but I don’t think you’re entirely unsuccesful.

One question though, were the crew you had selected for your documentary actually pitching their own ideas to your professor in your absence? That sounds like something that would potentially generate some tension ‘on set’ so to speak…
