My filmmaking activities have been curtailed by the day-to-day at the university, but last Friday, 13 February, I screened a short film, "24-Hour Comics Day at Cosmic Monkey", as part of the Oregon 150 commemoration at Western. The short was produced from footage shot for my larger documentary project on the comic book scene in Portland, Oregon (USA). I've inserted the YouTube version below, but better viewing can be found on my lo-fi cinema page at blip.tv.

So, this year's IDC is in the books for the Willamette Valley Film Collective. We drew "art" and "historical" for genres and went with "art." The theme this year was "faith," and we were lucky enough to have this for a subject (much thanks to David Ensminger). More on this in the near future, including photos. For now, here's hoping I dotted all the rights Is and crossed all the necessary Ts.

UPDATE: Robin Smith has uploaded photos from the shoot to flickr.
