So lately we've been experiencing a large volume of traffic due to postings on torrent sites and blogs. All I can say is thanks! It's nice to see the film get out there, and the idea behind the free download finally come to some fruition. If this thing we call the internet is a community, and this crazy sub culture called "Indie" is real; then the way things are happening for EGTTR is exactly as it should be. I can't say thanks enough...feel free to drop me a line with feedback...always love to hear it.
That leads me to the truth part. I spent this past weekend with friends outside of Syracuse. (The previous post was from this trip and a stab at humor...drunk, late night humor.) We ate, drank, and had an overall merry time. However. This friend of mine pointed out that I am incredibly negative sometimes and affected by other people almost to a fault. She's right. My wife also confronted me about me having a drinking problem. She's right. When you spend a large chunk of time couped up in a terrible climate, drinking to be social, and obsessing about a script that describes how the death of everything might go down...you get a bit blindsided. The best thing to do is just be honest with yourself and admit that the problems exist. Previous posts have seen me screaming about the "posers" of the indie world. Previous months have seen me drink to be happy, despite the amount and level of work I'm constantly trying to produce. I will not dwell on this, nor will I make the bold assumption that I will ever completely quit drinking. I will not fool myself into thinking I will one day never find a "poser" completely annoying and uncalled for. I can, however, promise to always be truthful to myself, my friends, and my family. I will always take steps to move in a positive, forward direction in what ever endeavor I chose. I will always, eventually, shut out the idiots and focus on the wonderful people that still do exist in this world. The worse thing I could ever do is ever start thinking I have it completely figured out.
I should also never forget that I'm part Noreen Yost, and part John E. Yost Jr. and I will forever be the most optimistic realist in the room...
or the most layed back person to ever plan every moment of everyday...
or the person who hates talking on the phone so much, it takes 10 minutes to say goodbye to friends.
In The Brave and the Kind News...we're making a movie. Shooting is this June/July. I need to cast two people asap. Things are going to get out of hand. Check here for updates...wish I could say more, but we're all trying to stay real secretive...you know...for fun, it's fun to be secretive.
If you have a chance, check out my wife's (our in house marketing web designer) latest fun website...toonces TV...I know...a site about our cat...we really do enjoy her that much.;-)
Cheers
John
