We were left with three students on Tuesday night. The event of Bowie's visit to the MCA had to be celebrated. I need to make a meta-film about the event of Bowie's visit intermingled with symbolic moments from my experiences in Overton Park. My short "IN THE PARK" has begun shooting in February. This leads to the question of deadlines. I would love to have these finished to show by June. Sometime in June. Let's talk about that as time goes on here. A last note: the folks that have attended the last few courses (by various invitation) have been a god-send; potential actors, speakers, and folks hungry to help. I've learned from this and if I teach another class I'd like to open it up more to people I can truly draw energy from, and hopefully vice versa. All this and Arthur C. Clarke died, I believe, two tuesdays ago. I found out from Sam in the upper gallery where Bowie stood. Quite appropriate. Mike McCarthy Some thoughts on the last class on April Fools night.

Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the whole thing, but I'm glad that I at least got to hear the president of the college talk. He had some very interesting points and anecdotes. Please let me know if you do anything else Bowie-related, because I would love to take part. I'd also love the opportunity to work with you, so if you ever need an actress or hold auditions, please let me know! Thanks, Natalie Mike-

The process can be daunting, but for those who pursue it with dedication and confidence in their vision might find it to be most rewarding too. We have only one more class to go, but I hope those of you who have decided to follow this through to completion will stay in touch afterward. As I've stated before, networking is half the battle. Stay plugged in to the community and don't be afraid to ask for help. Commencing countdown...

I've been browsing this fascinating site about your movie course. Bowie in '73 was the first concert I went to, Manchester Free Trade Hall, my shoe laces painstakingly painted silver. 4 years later, first day at art school, I slipped out early to get home to catch Bowie on the Marc tv show. If anyone wants some perspective to add to their mix, feel free to email me. Arthur Hello all, greetings from England.

I have been too busy with work, preparing to close on my house sale (this Friday), and beginning the move/pack process. "On the inside" I've been mulling over a few changes to the script and trying to translate them into props, costume, makeup, locations, etc. I know there isn't much time left til next Tue. We'll see... Not much film making activity “on the outside”.
