Our Next Life

If Woody Allen, author of the paragraph below, didnt marry his daughter, he'd be hailed as an American genius. Note to self: do not marry any family members, adpoted or otherwise.

In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!

I rest my case.

- Woody Allen

God Knows Your Lonely Soul

in a great wave of technological upgrades and neck slaps at Establishment Productions, we are in the process of transferring our library from DVDs on shelves to mp4/youtube-able files to share. Here is the short film music video for GOD KNOWS YOUR LONELY SOUL by UNKLE feat Richard Ashcroft from The Verve.

The film was made as part of the Slamdance Film Festival's $99 Specials where 9 filmmakers were given 99 days and $99 to make a film. This is what a long morning with a chill actress and filming during down time on corporate road trips can do for ya....big ups to Carly Flynn on the hair, make-up and overall on-the-set dopeness. Lafayette Street NYC apartment holler. PS: For some reason, the film starts at :15sec. ok, bye..........

HEY MILWAUKEE: Wanna Film Your World For A Night? + Looking for Photos and Film Footage from Milwaukee

I am pulling together a short film where I need tons and tons of Milwaukee-based photos and film footage that will be the foundation of the film. NOTE:***Sound doesn't matter - just images, cool angles, shots, movement - your world!! I don't want to give away the flow or premise of the film so if you have footage and want to recycle it and contribute to this project - high five! - and email me for the full story and plan for this short film. I am creating this film initially to submit to the Milwaukee Film Fest and then subsequent festivals....yes, you will get credit! :)

So, two things here:

1) I have a nifty little FLIP camera to lend you to film you (although its probably against my better judgement - ha) and your crazy little night or day out in Milwaukee. Or rock your own business and hand me a tape. Sound doesn't matter - just images, cool angles, shots, movement - your world!!

2) I am looking for cool, Milwaukee based film clips or still images. Black and white or color - doesn't matter. The weirder the footage, the better. Things like:
- basement shows
- nights out
- DJs and bars
- kickin it with friends
- city scapes
- skate films
- scratchy old super 8mm from your momma's attic
- random shots around your school or coffee shop or bar or where ever you kick it.
- your crap on Facebook or Flickr - just send me the link to the photo album!


Please reply here as a comment, call me at 414-530-4207 or email howie@establishmentproductions.com for more info.

I hope to have everything pulled together by Fri May 29th - hope to hear from you soon!
