- I touched on this
a bit in Becoming 2010 Adam, but I need to keep
reminding myself how ridiculous it is that I'm
actually pulling this off in 2022. It took so much.
It's hard to call it procrastination when it comes to
weight loss, but I guess there's no other word for it?
It's just deeper than procrastination. But the fact
that I had no room for error when I started that
diet on August 15th, and then had about 3 weeks to
finish the entire 10 years... oh and in the middle
I got a new computer I had to transfer
everything to MID-EDIT (bad idea, but there were
issues with the build I had to check)... bottom
line, so many things had to go right for this scene to
occur...
-

- Oh and if you were
wondering, the distributor wants a new harddrive for
every movie and when I asked them why, they said they
keep it for backups. Well fuck, man - I've given you
like 1-2tb harddrives every year. For a no-budget
project, this shit adds up. So can I just give
you one harddrive with 5 films and all the ancillary
files and you give me back all that shit? They laughed
and understood. They don't have anyone like me doing
this much. It's usually the one-offs and all the
headaches that entails. The first one is work. Like
the filmmaker has all these expectations, they ask
questions constantly, they push, they prod - they do
what you're supposed to do. I'm sure I did it
with Fastest Delorean. After that however? I know the
routine and drop off the deliverables and hardly ever
speak to them again. I think they appreciate that.
Michael and Linda are nice peeps and I enjoy the whole
routine of Deliverables Day. I will miss it if I ever
have to stop.
-
So anyway, for the
5th year in a row, I will have released a
feature-length doc. "Where You Once Belonged" being my
sole focus for 2023 which does mean, most likely,
another mad-dash at the end of next year to try and
pull it off. After that? The Return of The Egos idea
is getting harder to wrap my head around as it feels
like I'd need a ton of resources. Hmmm let me lay this
all out...

- So there's 5 years
in there that are kind of up in the air. Couple things
I hadn't announced:
-
- -Fastest Delorean
VR
-
- This seems kind of
like a cheap way to have a release when in fact, we're
just watching the movie on a screen in VR. The idea is
that Don and I are sitting next to you in the
movie seats talking throughout. Even pausing the film,
etc. You can look left and right, be as annoyed as I
am that Don is on the phone... that kind of shit. It
would be absolutely amazing if done correctly. And
come to think of it, considering how fucking hard it
is to plan a shoot with Don, this is indeed worthy of
calling it a "Release". LMAO. Fucking Don.
hahahaha
-
- -The Official
Journey Vol. 0
-
- This is an idea
I've toyed with in my head forever... tackling the
1990-2000 era, especially 1995-2000 with radio/4tvs
being so weird and, well, goddamn. That is a
completely different me, isn't it. What's up with all
these 10 year periods being so drastically different?
Anyway, it would get into high school stuff which is
almost too melodramatic to even touch (besides
bringing up all sorts of issues with those involved,
then, what 40 years later? Christ who would agree to
THAT? But ya never know. I could also probably sit
down with Cameron at 15 to shoot 1990 me, which is
pretty fucking neat. Maybe even do deepfake shit which
should be a bit easier in 7 years? It's a fascinating
idea to imagine, but difficult with such a supreme
lack of video. I didn't get my camera until 1995
and... well there is Slick Tracy in 1990.. hmmm,
I gotta think about this. You don't want it to
just be a collection of home movies with a voice-over.
I want to really capture how 15 year old me will
only accept legit fame and stardom as "success" and
how it just doesn't seem like I'm having much of that
in the 90s. It's just so crazy that I move to LA right
at 2000 which would be the start of Volume 1... seems
like I have to at least attempt to put Zero
together.
-
- To be fair of
course, I will have to venture into, oh I don't know,
OTHER FUCKING TOPICS except MEEEEEEEE?
LOL... if I wish to keep this streak alive. I'm sick
of myself just writing about it. It's funny, people
must think I'm averse to working with others, but the
entire reason any of this started was because
I wanted to spotlight Kenny. Can't help that the
fucker ghosted me and I had to finish it myself. No,
I tend to do things myself because I'm reliable.
That's really it. Documenting my reliability is just
kinda what The Journey is. If someone else wants to
jump in? Happy to turn the camera.
Any day now everybody... any day.
-
- But again - Volume
2 is done! I'm actually excited for people to watch
this stuff. Easier to market happy shit, fo
sho.
