As a member of Film Independent, an organization and membership that I simply can't recommend enough to any cinephile, we're about to kick off the 2021 Spirit Awards frenzy of movie watching tomorrow. Basically, the Spirit Awards are sort of like an independent film version of the Academy Awards, and they're shown on IFC every year, normally around February. This year, everything is pushed back a bit due to COVID and I believe they'll be shown at the end of April. They're kind of unique because the members of Film Independent are the sole voters on what films get 95% of the awards. Since I take film very seriously, I try to watch every single film that they send me so that I can properly vote, and that more or less means taking in around 30 film in 30 days each year. It's a bit exhausting but also rather fulfilling since you watch things you'd probably never watch or know about otherwise.
What's my point? It means that my time will be balanced over the next month with watching movies. I know, just what I need, right?! I have a hard enough time juggling work, music, writing, etc., and now let's throw movie watching in the mix. It's almost like I'm punishing myself.
I have a few other blog entries that I have written in my head but yet have committed to the computer. Perhaps I'll get to those soon before they altogether disappear.
Other than that, the "Mirror Land" artwork is basically done and I've been fooling around with coming up with logos and other odds and ends. It's a lot to take in all at once. I wish I had the funds to hire someone. Wouldn't that be grand?
