Check it out and let him know what you think. Incidentally, I found the embedded video player didn’t work so well in Firefox — you’ll have to open the page with Internet Explorer.

Matt shared with me some of the hardships of getting his movie made. It’s hard to believe how tough it can be to get even a short little movie made. His next project is going to be a full-length western, tentatively titled “Beatie Barnes: Legend of the Schoolteacher”:http://www.mankindpictures.com/beatiebarnes.html – and if you click on that link, there’s a little teaser and more information. Matt currently lives in Arizona, surrounded by desert. Last time he came to visit me in Missouri, he was pretty excited about all the greens and changing colors of fall. Don’t get much of that down south.

The Librarian is part of a double-story movie with wraparound that we’re doing together. Unfortunately, I’m not too optimistic that we’ll get our half of the project done in time for Halloween, which is ideally when it would be released. We have yet to finalize the script, and Bich and I are caught in the middle of this move. Of course, unlike a Christmas film, a horror movie isn’t terribly tied to any particular season.

The great thing is, however, that we’re exactly two weeks away from being able to move in. And, come September, there should be no shortage of college-age actors in town willing to help out with our little project. I hope, anyway…
