Death Goes to Munich (finally)

It's finally here. Tomorrow Celeste and I are off to Munich to attend the 25th Annual Munich International Festival of Film Schools or as they call it the INTERNATIONALES FESTIVAL DER FILMHOCHSCHULEN MÜNCHEN 2005. But before I talk more about the trip I have a treat for all the Teddy G supporters out there. I've been working on this for too long and I'm almost done putting the final touches on it but I thought I'd share it with everybody a little early (err... late, however you wanna look at it.) Celeste, Jon (Theodore himself) and I got together while we were in Vancouver for the Vancouver International Film Festival and shot a few photos for the official Death of Theodore Graham poster. My original plan was to make a bunch of these things and give them out to anybody who made a donation to Celeste's Munich Fund, but then I called Kinko's and it turns out that they would cost about $15 dollars each to print. No thanks. Instead, here it is for everybody to enjoy, print and copy at their leisure. I hope you like it. (If you click on it you can see the full size image and you can save it by right clicking on it.) I don't know whether to call it a work in progress or to call it done. I guess we'll see how long I'm unemployed when I get back from Europe.

As for that whole thing....

We leave tomorrow at 1:20 PM and land on Saturday at 10:something AM. I don't know exactly how that works, some sort of Donnie Darko space-time continuum thing. But I bought a portable dvd player with three extra batteries so I'm ready for anything.

So we'll be in Germany from Saturday until the next Sunday, then we're off to Paris for four riot filled days of Danger and Adventure. Hopefully those rowdy kids get word that I'm on my way so they can all practice falling down and flying through windows before I get there.

I'm not quite done packing yet, so I'm going to cut this a little short. I'm going to do my best to keep a journal of what happens during the trip, and if' it's interesting enough I'll post it here. We'll be back home on December 2nd, so check back around that time to hear all about how I became the next David Hasselhoff and changed the face of German filmmaking forever...
