Oh Mickie, you're so fine ...

Ok, faithful blog reader(s), here is the 5 min. video I’m sending off to the good people at On The Lot, a new reality series from Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Apprentice) and Steven Spielberg (some Jewish guy). This video is a scaled down version of the 12 min. preview of my upcoming feature film, "Love: A Documentary", with a few new clips added to the mix. The required 45-second intro was directed by my precocious new filmmaking colleague--the lovely and talented Voix. If you happen to know this hyper-talented but shy and reserved newcomer, please give her some props for her great work on a tight ($0) budget.



Alright, time to come clean. Voix is my gal pal, and she happily agreed to spend last Sunday, a very rare full day together, shooting video of me wearing silly clothes and making even sillier faces for the above latest vanity project. After that, she engaged in even more ridiculous, unwarranted grown-up behavior by spending a good part of the afternoon walking around a depressing and typically soulless gigantic Walmart in my neighborhood helping me surreptitiously videotape nearly ever corner of the store to be used as a green-screened backdrop for my over-budget and under-produced Walmart-TV film project. The fact that she spent her day off helping me, not with a "Well, you owe me one now" or "When can we do what I want?" attitude, but rather seemed to fully enjoy the whole ordeal simply because she could help me with something that was important to me and only me--well, if there's a better definition of real love I haven't found it.

I truly hope y'all have found someone just as special on this Valentine's Day.
