Fe Fi Fo Fum

Hospital Blues

Sorry for the overprotracted shutdown of the blog the last few weeks or days – however long it went on. I was sick.

I returned from an Award ceremony in St. Louis which I had to cut short to rush into my home hospital. The hospital stay ended up taking much longer than I expected, and in the end I have a lotta blog writing to do to make up. I hope to be able to catch up somewhat without too much difficulty.

I have to go back to see what I’ve already posted and what I can add to it to make it better. Part of my problem is that I have a newer version of WordPress that has so botched up my mind – it’s gotten hard to tell what’s new and and what’s not; what’s published and what should be published.

But I’ll get it worked out. Sorry you have to sit through it with me.

The Academy of MPArts created a new division. The art of casting design. It’s something we needed; For now we have to give them a run for their money. It’s all about competition. Cheryl Boone Isaacs the new President of the MPAcademy had this to say:

    “Their inclusion on our board will only broaden our perspective and help ensure that the Academy continues to accurately reflect the state of filmmaking today.”

    The Casting Director’s Branch brings the Academy to 17 branches, with three members representing each branch on the Board of Governors. The Academy will hold special elections this fall to select the three governors of the newest branch.

And we have to keep our eyes open for the latest video from and our good friend, the hand-drawing artist, (and foot-walking artist). Hi brilliant partner, Shay Lynch, takes re sounds a f Jeff Scher. He’s a hand playing composer. Jeff’s a realio trulio artist and deserves all the attention we can give him. Ogether with the brilliat Way Shay Lynch is the equal of Jeff and together I really give these two guys credit. Artists they are. They just got over the wreaking damage Sandy brought them now they make art.

The two did the pieces for the New York Times – just about a free bee. Go hear and watch and listen to them make art.

    There is a really jolly documentary on HBO at the moment called “Casting By”.
    Look it up.

    Hope you’re feeling better, Michael.

    I could’ve told you not to drink the water in St. Louis. That’s a place where you’ve got to stick to beer.
