As I wait for my laundry, I will do a wrap up of my cultural consuming over the weekend. I didn’t physically visit any galleries, museums, performances or public art. After 3 days of art handling, you get the itch to paint and conceptualize your ideas. My coworker described: “an artist working as an art handler is like a musician working as a bar tender at an awesome venue.” You learn, absorb, observe, judge, respect, appreciate, denounce, and ultimately APPLY. You swing on the pendulum from deflation\/bitterness to elation\/inspiration every week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My partner and filmmaker Joe Wakeman<\/a> helped me do the final color corrections for my forthcoming short film, Coral & Sebastian,<\/em> and I feel a lot better about it now. I also swapped out a different clip of crowd footage for the opening scene, and rearranged the credit title cards at the end. The few friends I’ve shown it to in this “picture lock” stage have made comments or noticed details that I can describe in no other way as making me feel delighted. My friend in NC said, “I like the colors and city sounds. It makes me miss New York City.” (I didn’t expect anyone would notice those kinds of details.) And my other friend laughed at the moments I wanted people to laugh. And my other friend noticed that the main character breaks down in front of a mural that says “LOVE”. (I didn’t know if anyone would catch that.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
