Bogus and Bonus

After constant struggle with google sites to transfer my blog to my new domain, I've retreated back to the free one. At least I'll still have "makeascene.info" for when I've the will to fight again.

On some brighter news:

My super-supervisor has asked me to take part in producing some skits that are to be performed between the different departments at OTech. These skits will be shown at this year's Holiday party. Personally, I think my co-workers should do a skit about fort wars between the tape operations and tape library folks with the forts being made out of the immense number of soon-to-be destroyed tape cartridges.

I am incredibly excited to finally have a project lined up for this summer, rather than being led on by local musicians to produce their music videos.

Parlez-vous français?

If not, don't worry: subtitles will be provided.


The 9th annual Sacramento French Film Festival Kicks off tonight at 8pm with the 2009 bait-and-switch drama In the Beginning.

Every Saturday and Sunday for the next two weeks, the Crest Theater in downtown Sacramento will be hosting all day screenings of select French feature and short films in its stunning main theater.








The showcase that awaits tonight will lead on with 7 film premieres, a handful of short films and a few classics – including 2 tributes to the late Jean Gabin.

The ending ceremony of the festival will show the 007 satire OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009) – which is, in my opinion, far more clever and funny than Austin Powers.

So far I have only been able to attend the festival on two separate occasions, neither which have disappointed me.

I highly encourage anyone and everyone who has an appreciation for passion, whimsy or at least a sense of humor to take a chance with this experience. May I remind you that this opportunity is only available two weekends out the year? The wonderfully social atmosphere provided each time I go is reason enough for me to return.

$10 regular admission, $9 for students

Weekend passes and specials are available as well for the zealous cinephile (or Francophile).

Jouir!

First and Foremost

Good evening ladies and gentlemen.

If you've found your way onto my blog, you're most likely a curious Facebook friend or made the gamble of hitting the "Next Blog" option.

Or maybe, just maybe, you happen to be an up and coming actor, freelance techie or heartfelt screenwriter.
Film buffs are welcome too. No bias here.


Whichever you happen to be, congratulations for making it this far!

Join me in future posts concerning the latest (and dated) in film releases, worship of various film/video-related products and programs and advancements of the Sacramento film/video production community.



Cheers!
