Week spent in Sausalito revising budgets, proposals and such. The Longest Walk promo video was revised. We await a kick-start funding effort to move on to the next step : the first funding round, an official press kit being on the way, and a potential showing of the trailer at Sundance film festival January 2009.
In the meantime, the preview WILL be premiered at the American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco between November 7th and November 15th. Detailed information to follow on schedules and tickets.

BFA Interdisciplinary Arts from Concordia, Montreal; owner of '8:51 art design nouveau cinema' (Canada). The name is based on an epic succession of photos taken anually at 8:51 a.m. on July 21st, i.e. the minute of my birth. I work between L.A. Tokyo San Francisco New Mexico England and my hometown of Montreal, between industrial lofts and old adobe walls in the wild world of music videos, dance films, contemporary native american documentaries, as well as video projection loops for events and as permanent installations. ........................................
From warehouse parties to large-scale concerts to intimate gallery loft openings.
Fly. Between my travels to the wild flowers of Cali and the scorching sun of New Mexico, I am now home in Montreal dissecting hours of footage, building books and non-sense poetry, chanting, praying, taking photographs by the bridges, picking soundtracks and smiling ; life is busy, life is beautiful
