official good news

Some of you may already know this, but now it's official: I got a grant from the Nebraska Arts Council. It was a huge surprise, and I am very grateful. So now I just have to force myself to sit down and write the short film/films that I want to direct this summer. I'm hoping that this will provide extra motivation/pressure. And perhaps the more people I let know about the summer film, the harder it will be for me to evade it. I really want to do it and I'm so excited and ready to make another film. I don't know what my problem is, but it has been really hard for me to start this script.

Anyway, here is the press release. Check it out, I am a "distinguished artist." Never thought I would be referred to as "distinguished", but I think I could get used to it.

Sorry! I fixed it.

Congrats! That's awesome... can't wait for things to get rolling with your film.

Patrick said...

VERY COOL!!! As I said before, I've always thought you were a "distinguished artist". Congratulations.

Erica said...

Woohoo...and you're a distinguished friend too!

Yay for Lindsay! Now you HAVE to get motivated!

Congrats for about the hundredth time! I'm offering myself as free labor this summer for your film. I'll do anything I'm asked to do.

And if you choose not to make a short film you could always hand over the money to help support Jamie and me next year.
