GOLDEN AGE

Link to the trailer for GOLDEN AGE, a short film I was in that played at Sidewalk. I truly had a blast working with everyone on that film. It was such a memorable experience for me and not just because I was in my underwear in the middle of the woods, bound, with fake blood all over me and real cow intestines on my stomach. :)

Sidewalk Film Festival review

Cool review of the festival by Eric Campos of Film Threat

What's with the title?

So, what is up with the title of this blog? Well, I'll tell you to the best of my ability. For one, it just seemed to fit because it is what I was for Halloween many years as a child. Reason being, with a little imagination, one could easily and cheaply be a gypsy. It was the 80's. What can I say? A few bracelets, flowy clothes and you got yourself a costume. For me, it was just a fun character to play. Of course, I now see that the stereotype was likely complete garbage, but I never lost the the fascination with the gypsy myth and the curiosity about where it came from and what the truth was behind all this mystery surrounding them. I would still like to keep the fun, and yet politically incorrect, memories of the fall festival, please. :)


So, to me, grappling with the gypsy is just a way of expressing the notion of exploring the unknown, trying to demystify the mystery of the "gypsy." The "gypsy" being any question without an absolute answer, which is nearly everything in life, isn't it? I suppose I was also speaking of the gypsy within myself, within us all likely, that part of yourself you can't quite get your head around, but is a major, natural part of who you are. The part that is always searching and creating, and tends to provide you with the most excitement in life, and yet also the biggest threat to your own peace. For me, it's about finding some balance in the duality within myself, as well as the duality in the world in which we live. Somehow there is balance in the chaos. Yes, we can love both sushi and potted meat. I can love both Bettty Blue and Halloween part 155. Makes sense somehow, right?

Where to begin? Funny how I feel like now that I have an actual blog, I have all these years to make up for that I have missed recording all my mindless meandering.

I'm thinking it's best for me to start from the present, though, and move forward. So, what better way to start than by a quote from Janis, huh?

“I'm one of those regular weird people.”
