The Secret Name of Cinema is Transformation
Transform, transform
anything everything --
stairways into planets
buttercups into navals
icebergs into elephants --
everywhere
everything
the old scene renewed by seeing
the unseen seen anew
transformed

I sadly haven't been keeping up with my blogroll lately, but I just saw your wonderful post at girish's. How did the screening go?

Hey Brian! Thanks for asking about the screening. It was a blast! The program was so fun. I discovered though that Kittypie does not project well on DVD. So next time, mini-DV!
By the way, I am waiting for your comment on Girish's site . . . Why do you blog?!
