Random Praise.

I’m a big fan of listia.com and I go out of my way to be humorous when writing descriptions of my products up for auction.

Going the extra mile not only entertains the viewer, but also helps sell what is most likely a mundane object. It’s also a way to keep your writing juices flowing and let’s face it; every little ounce of funny helps in this world.  I’ve included some of the comments my auctions have received for …well let’s be honest…for my amusement.  Not to worry, I won’t let the fame go to my head.

Feel Good Moment

This week I participated in request for films to be included for Film Courage Interactive in Los Angeles and pushed with all my heart for the inclusion of an independent film currently without distribution.  Film Courage Interactive chose the film and it made me feel awesome to know I helped make that connection happen. I wish the filmmakers, Joseph and Andrew of  The Mother of Invention great success, because your film deserves it.

All of this was made possible by the Filmakers, Film Courage Interactive (Karen Worden and David Branin), Facebook and Youtube…oh and my meddling keyboard.  Without these social media constructs bridging the gap, the two might never have connected.

The internet brings filmmakers together like no other previous system could.

Giant studios are no longer the only road to success for filmmakers.

Filmmakers simply let the material stand up on its own in an arena judged by the user of the content…you.

Here’s a link to the EVENT itself, which includes interviews with the filmmakers after the screening!
