First thing I remember, she's dancing round the kitchen with a cup of sugar floating in her hands, yeah...
Record player in the corner, Paul Simon's One Trick Pony.
She's a professional video editor, working in film and tv. It's very cool watching movie trailers made by someone you know.
Last weekend she produced the 48-hour Film-A-Thon, a collaboration of film-makers at Cinema Divina, creating a short film from start to finish, idea to screening, in 48 hours!!!
Next thing I remember, there's a pie crust on the counter and I'm making sure I roll the edges thin, yeah...
It's been such a fun day.
Earlier, at the tarpits, I asked for 5 things I didn't already know about her. Got more than 5...
Likes rockclimbing
Studied martial arts and fencing
Loves the smell of a photography darkroom
Had her photography published in Performer magazine
Studied theater for two years and even started a theater club
Filmed a documentary in India about a young girl sold into slavery
Salmon and broiled Chard, Big Chill soundtrack, apple pie from scratch, Coen brothers filmography.
That's what it is!
It's the way she connects then and now, contemporary with old school. It's that she's teaching me what's new in film-making, but her shoes and her dance and her art and her dreams belong to earlier times. That's what it is. It's that I'm in the 20's and the 2000's at the same time!
Last thing I remember, we're Raising Arizona and I'm heading for the door and walking home, yeah...
It's late in the evening, and the music's seeping through.
