Well, the second annual Quickflicks /Group 101 NYC screening went well, although not without some dramatics. I had checked out the venue the week before to make sure our DVD would play on the house player, that sound was OK etc. I even brought my own DVD player and remote control in case we had a compatibility problem. Fortunately, the house DVD player was the exact same model as mine, so we had a way of testing that everything would work.
On show night, I brought everything I thought I needed, omitting my DVD player and its remote control, planing to use house equipment. It turned out that they hadn't seen their remote control in quite some time and our DVD was authored so that it was nearly impossible to play the program as planned without a remote (Why are DVD players and other gizmos so totally reliant on their remote? If you lose the remote for some devices, you practially have to discard the device). So I jumped in a taxi and did a last-minute race home to get my remote, returning just in time to start the show. Thank heavens for New York City Taxis!

He singlehandedly writes, acts, shoots, composes, arranges, edits and delivers every film on time every time, often in competition with teams boasting up to 50 members from television networks and professional film companies.

This blog will tell about those experiences, as well as his activities as a member of Quickflicks/Group 101 NYC, a once-a-month filmmakers collective. He'll also offer some how-to tips for fast filmmakers everywhere along with some articles from his book on instant moviemaking.
