CHELSEA AND BLOGGING

Earlier today, my old friend and associate Chelsea Spear, filmmaker, dog walker and true alternative film cineaste, called. It had been a while. It was Chelsea who introduced be to the concept of blogging, for she had seen my name crop up on the blog of a local filmmaker, whose film I'm helping out. Som praise or blame can go to Chelsea for having gotten me the idea to do this.

But when I asked her why she hadn't called in so long, she said she did'nt want out conversations to be the subject of a blog (too late, Chelsea!), or that I might ramble on about some contgroversial issue in the film community. You see, Chelsea and I are both opinionated. and she knew that I probably got in trouble for the some of the things I wrote.

Anyway, welcome back, Chelsea, and I'm glad you're excitid about some of the films we're showing in BUFF, particularly film by Guy Maddin, Noam Gonick, and the risky showing of the legendary THUNDERCRACK
