According to my youtube stats, Wheelchair Werewolf has gotten over 100 views via a post on the site www.destructoid.com, specifically by blogger BlindsideDork. He (or she) liked it so much he shared it with his friends, who apparently like it too. I’m very pleased and humbled, and would directly thank Blindside but I can’t figure out how to contact him.

So thanks again, whoever you are, and if anyone knows BlindsideDork, please pass this along!

It’s fair to also note the most hits are coming from a Spanish site I can’t understand. If you can make heads or tails of this, let me know.

Great news!

Wheelchair Werewolf has been accepted into this year’s Chicago Horror fest. The fest is Sept. 26-28 at the Portage Theater 4050 N. Milwaukee Ave.

I love being in specialized festivals. My shorts have played at more than a handful of fests, and I can honestly say festivals that cater to a subculture or movie style are so much fun. I love them! It’s great to be in comedy fests, but they can’t hold a candle to sci-fi and horror festivals. No way.

Specialized festivals are great for 3 reasons:
1) No industry interest, therefore no douche bags
2) Everyone there wants to be there
3) People come to celebrate something they truly love, judgment free

The only issue I can see with this fest is the fact that it’s over three days. Very few people have enough free time to come multiple times. It also starts on Friday at 6pm. And we’re up first. Yikes! Oh well, it’s still an honor and I look forward to sharing the screen with such great films like:

Squeal
How My Dad Killed Dracula
Spine Tingler
Attackazoids
Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula (Drac’s getting some serious face time this year)
Cheerbleeders (amazing title! Can’t miss it)
Pumpkin Hell

More info when I get it!

It won’t be long before twitter is myspace: Ad heavy, content lite. Before its demise, I’m really hoping a twitter fad I’ve though of takes off. Keep in mind I in no way will try to progress this fad, so feel free to take it and run.

Basically I’d like to see a rise, even domination, of ironic twitter accounts. I’m sure a hand full exist, but I think it could be really sweet for someone to take a personality he or she likes and apply it to twitter. My preference would, of course, be irony. Here’s some users I’d like to see, tweets and all:

And none of that ‘1 post a month’ nonsense. Constant updates. It would be rather simple: every time you feel the need to tweet about your every day life, think to your self ‘how would (ironic celebrity) tweet this?’ The more mundane the better! But, of course, you’d also have to filter your comments though said celebrity’s ‘accomplishment funnel’. Here’s a great example using the popular 80s rock band Survivor:

Let me ask you: what celebrity, or ironic person, or character, or food, or whatever would like to see on twitter. What kind of tweets would he/she/it produce?

Don’t you hate it when this happens?
That’s Tim Racine and Neil Arsenty chatting it up, I’m the handsome gent with the piece.
