Lilliput is a very short DV film about the Lilliput robot. Manufactured in the 1940s, the Lilliput robot is believed to be the first mass-produced robot toy in Japan. The Lilliput in Lilliput is a replica and yes, he/she/it does have a hard time walking. That, however, is the Lilliput’s charm.
Besides being about a Lilliput, the idea behind shooting the film was to try some lighting techniques. Boo-beep-boop.
If Dick Cheney had've been working on Luppies, none of this would have happened.
In answer to “Luppie”, the log and a puppy, I present Kettle Kittens. While both find common ground with their nod to domestic pets, they are also starkly different. Like electrum, a Luppie is a kind of alloy, an alloy of a log and puppy (not a dog-log or a log-dog). However, Kettle Kittens is not an alloy, but rather a divide, or even the divide, like space and time, realism and naturalism, or Chloë Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale. In total, Kettle Kittens is a very short DV film about a kettle cut off from irresistible kittens. I pray that Kettle Kittens wins Sundance. If it doesn’t, all I can say is what do they know of kettles and kittens or the magnifco “Luppie”?
Nada el gato woof woof.
For Kettle Kittens, Tim manned the camera and did the editing, and I wrote the music and the story/plot line. The film was shot on the same camera we will be shooting The Green Machine on.
A Luppy. It is a log and a puppy. Not a dog and a log, (a dog-log or a log-dog) but a Luppy, a log and a puppy.

I’m happy to announce that we have cast Ameviathan: The Green Machine. Matt Folker will be playing Jonathan, Jen Friedman will be playing Cecily and Stephen Young will be playing Roy. Not only are the actors perfect for the parts, but judging from the auditions, we’ve been afforded an incredible opportunity to work with some real talent. I can’t wait to film.
I would also like to extend special thanks to John Schratwieser, Executive Director of the the Prince Threatre in Chestertown, Maryland, who allowed us to hold our auditions in the historic Prince Threatre. Originally a vaudeville theatre and movie house, the theatre was a beautiful place in which to hold our auditions. I would also like to thank the staff of the Prince Threatre for toughing out the blizzard, and Matt Folker for recommending we hold our auditions there. Next time I’m in Chestertown, I’m catching a show and scrutinizing that Zebra-man at the door.
And of course, where would the auditions have been without Dick and DJWebb, ‘crew’? Nowhere. Thanks for driving, eating subs and talking about lighting and the ‘Bury.
For Adrienne
Two ends hooked now
Each to the other,
Only gradually becomming aware that
The strand behind
Had always joined them
Somehow
Around eternity’s railings.
When Mike and I first moved into the house we currently live, we were recording a lot of music. Most of the tracks we haven’t put up on the site yet. A lot of them were for an aborted project called “Night Caller.” It originally started out as one song, then it grew a sequel, and in true “Mike” fashion it spiraled out of control into a 12 song concept album. Needless to say, that fell apart.
That however is not the story of this post. This post is about the song that ruined music recording for me. I haven’t recorded a song since this albatross of a song landed 9 months ago.
From the Director-
We are shooting a short independent film entitled “The Green Machine.” The film is narrative-driven and will be in the style of a children’s live-action television show. Similar shows include any of the Sid and Marty Krofft television shows (“Land of the Lost,” “Electra Woman and Dyna Girl,” “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters,” “Bugaloos,” “Far Out Space Nuts,” etc.) and “Dr. Who.”
The film will be shot on location at Camp Fairlee Manor in Chestertown, MD from March 17th-19th, 2006. While we cannot pay actors or crew, we can provide them with comfortable sleeping accommodations and meals.
Currently we are looking to cast 3 parts:
Because of our tight pre-production schedule, we would like to hold auditions for the roles as soon as possible, either this weekend (February 4th and 5th) or next (February 11th and 12th).
Any interested parties should feel free to leave a comment if interested.
Its a done deal – the check and the contract are in the mail. Protozoic Film’s has the camp for March 17@10am until March 19 @ 7pm. We are staying in a cabin that holds 12 people. Get out your sleeping bags bitches.
