I’ve been reading a lot of artist biographies the past couple years – my favorite plane pasttime. Artists learn so much from each other – how we are the same, how we are different. I was delighted to read this fabulous INTERVIEW with FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA this morning and think he’s right on. I highly recommend it. In my favorite quote, he reminds us of a fact that explains so much: “You have to remember that it’s only a few hundred years, if that much, that artists are working with money.” Read the rest of this entry »

Goodbye Death, Hello New Mexico!
March 2nd, 2011 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
Congrats, to our DOLORES team – our world premiere was a grand success – we actually got cheered! I returned last week to 2 major writing deadlines and a brand spanking new semester in which I’m teaching 3(!) classes – yipes – and now I’m off to New Mexico for what I suspect might be DEATH IN CHARGE’s grand finale this weekend (with well over 100 fests now – not a bad run). I hope to finally catch up on the latest Deviant adventures upon my return – lots to tell. For Deviants in Indiana – - both DEATH and trippin’ are screening in Warsaw this coming weekend - we’ll be Skyping in for our Q&A – hope to virtually see you there!
More Fests and Opening for Kathryn Bigelow!

I’ve emerged from an intensive writing sanctuary just in time. The fests are beckoning once more. I wonder if this is what it feels like to be a parent - little time for a personal life, but our children are keeping the long hours of work mighty interesting. Regardless, it looks like we’ve got 2 exciting months ahead… Read the rest of this entry »
