The Floating House

I have three things on my mind today.

#1. I wish I had the time to celebrate the victory of the Mexican Army but it seems my last few weeks here in Springfield will be spent in front of a computer or camera. I am currently assisting a friend in the pre-production stage of the short “Tiny Romance”. It is a quirky comedy that I think will be successful and I hope for the best.

#2. Today is also the day I am trying to get my short to DVD. It has been a long, tiring week. Really, it has been a long, tiring month. I am not used to staying up after two in the morning. At least not lately. My body needs to rejuvenate itself before my immune system gets too low again.

#3. I am thoroughly going to miss my friends here in Springfield. Over these last few years, Springfield seems to have shrunk into a little community of fun, creative people. I don’t seem to have contact with much outside of downtown Springfield, which I actually find very refreshing. When I do travel outside of my boundaries, I seem to get disoriented and even a bit depressed. I guess you could say that I have created a security bubble. It is a great feeling to be part of a community of friends that you can relate with and share your energy and stepping outside of that security can be somewhat scary.

I am excited to move to a bigger city but fear that I will lose some of those small-town securities. One in particular: walking around late at night. I will miss night walks around downtown. I will miss the safety of walking down dark alleys. I will miss the good energy of the Mud Lounge. I will miss the sincerity that comes with a small town vibe. I will miss late night dance parties. I will miss so many things but most of all I will miss the people that make up this great environment.

So, this video has great visual quality. The music itself is amazing and the story is well told. They did a great job. directed by Anders Morgenthaler, April 2008. Enjoy.
