While I’ve been having loads of fun with film, I have another couple of projects in-progress or on hold, and it’s a shame to leave them all twisting in the wind.
So, seeing as a new month is starting up, I’ll interrupt the film fest for this digital interlude.

And this time was no different. Continue reading “a brief vacation, part 1”
And it is, too… but you’ll have to open this up and read it to find out what it is.
No more hints. Continue reading “Fabulous. Groovy.”
