One blog. Two opinions. One zillion films.

Tam, the International Film Academy kindly invited me to sit in on one of their sessions. In a typical town moment, I was assigned to photograph the very building where they meet. The White Buffalo Club’s meeting room is sleek and somber, a movie set of a room I’d like to use if we write a scene into Killpecker! of high level intrigue and cunning.

I took a few shots, stood there listening to Prof. Gail Segal, and in 10 minutes learned so much I fell into a deep funk because I could have used some of that knowledge thus far in building Killpecker.

So I’m going to try to fly-on-wall Wednesday (yeah, sure: I’ll work overtime failing to keep my yap shut). Gail will be cuing up portions of 70s classics, working toward an examination of Michael Mann’s Collateral, which eased my mind. I feared I was being fabulist by regarding Collateral as one of the most mesmerizing American films ever.

More later.
