Went to a giant Robot War downtown the other night, just a few blocks from my place. It was a performance of SRL (Survival Research Laboratories). There was a flame thrower that threw 300 foot streams of flame, a sound cannon that shot visible sonic booms, hovercrafts with piercing talons... it was really good and really loud and im glad i brought ear plugs.
Then yesterday I went to the studio of Gottfried Helnwein, an amazing Austrian artist who is currently designing a piece for the LA Opera. Gottfried's studio was filled with enormous paintings of ancient fetuses and portraits of Marilyn Manson. I showed him some of my short films and then pitched him The 1 Second Film.
