Thank You For Smoking
Busy days - I'm scoring a cool satire called Thank You For Smoking, and after 10 days of trying out ideas have just begun to understand what I am doing for this film. The instrumentation is a small group of instruments and sounds, including uke and melodica so far. Like all the satire work I have done before getting the mood and tone just right is crucial- and also complicated. So it's taking a lot of focus and experimentation. And there's little time as the film needs to be ready for the Toronto film festival, so I'm feeling the pressure.
Meanwhile I am also preparing for a trip to Burning Man in a month, so there is lots of consulting and coordinating with my fellow campers, and getting stuff together for the camp. There are many plans of things to offer in our camp (entitled Ironica) from song workshops to body work and shows, and ideas are beginning to come together. I'm wondering what instruments to take - what will survive well in the desert? An accordion?

The four questions you always ask directors? I recall only two of them. Wait, okay. Three. But four?
Just saying hello here too. Look forward to chatting when you come up for air.
