Filmmakers are weird.

I have been trying to apply for more "young and up and coming filmmaker" grants. I see people I know winning them all the time and I want to too. The scary part about being more proactive is that there is a bigger possibility for rejection but it is something that you have to push past I suppose.

Whenever I got to these seminars or mixers or whatever, I always see just how weird filmmakers are. I mean, I guess I'm weird too. Some are so socially awkward. Some are so self absorbed. Some have really short attention spans. Some have really low self esteem. I never feel really comfortable at these things. There is a part of me that thinks I'm not weird enough to really be an artist. Who knows?

I am really addicted to The Four Eyed Monsters podcasts and I thought I would share the trailer for the film coming out in NY on Dec. 1st. The filmmakers are so incredibly creative and I love being a part of their creative process. Happy Wednesday!

    Take Action

    Celebrity Sightings

    • Christina Applegate and Chole Sevigny
      at the BWE 100th episode party. They are both so blonde. That color blonde that does not exist in real life but only with chemical enhancement. They're beautiful though.
    • Melba Moore
      in the airport in Nairobi, Kenya! We smiled at each other over Nescafe (aka coffee).
    • Parker Posey
      at Murray's Bagels. She looked really punk rock.
    • Jessica Lange and Sam Shephard
      at A History of Violence at Cinema Village. They were so cute and followed us everywhere from the movies to Cedar Tavern and back to the movies. They probably thought we were following them.
    • Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe
      pushing their baby down 13th Street. I was having a meeting at Cosi around the corner from my overcrowded office. I looked out the window and there they were. They stopped in front of my window and were doing the, who should take the baby conversation. I was trying to listen to the person talking to me but I could not and she was not the type of person who would understand my distraction by these celebs. They are both really attractive but almost too much so. His sneakers were new. His jeans were new. It was weird. I like imperfection.
    • Joshua Redman
      running on 18th Street. I realized that I've seen him many times before and just did not realize it. He was smaller than I thought he's be but I guess most people are.
    • Patti Smith
      which was not a big deal to me but my friend Marina apparently sees her all the time. This was her fourth sighting. I said she should say something like, "I see you everywhere. We should hang out." Marina wouldn't take the bait.
    • Leonardo DiCaprio
      with Isha on our way to the PATH station on 9th Street and 6th Ave. He is very tall but as my friend says, one cheeseburger away from being fat. His bodyguard "subtely" was wearing a jogging suit next to him. I guess they exercise together. He wasn't so hot to me but another girl flipped out when she saw him so what do I know.
    • Sam Rockwell and Liev Schreiber
      on New Year's Eve but you gotta buy me a few drinks to hear that story.
    • John Turturro
      in Union Square looking tall and handsome. I’ve always had a strange little crush on him.
    • Holly Hunter
      on University with Isha who sees her all the time. Well, I was psyched. She's buff!
    • Jennifer Connelly & Paul Bettany
      Father's Day while I was power walking in Prospect Park. I knew that they lived in Brooklyn and hoped one day that I would run into them. I have a big crush on Paul Bettany. He's got that sexy ugly thing going on. Their children are attractive and he has that "buff for a film" look to him. It made a crummy day better.
    • Wendy Moniz
      at City Bakery where I always see celebs! She is on The Guardian which I love and is really short and really pregnant in real life. She also looks really Latina which they try to make her not look on TV.
    • Liv Tyler
      on my way to the edit room on Horatio walking her dog. She is very pretty. I can't hate.
    • Chris Noth
      with Isha on 9th Street getting into a really nice car that I can not identify because I am not a car person with a really attractive South Asian woman
    • Gloria Reuben
      with Isha while eating brunch at Motto in the East Village
