Voice of the Dead Reunion

I have been a writing slump lately.  I can't think of any fiction worth writing as the world is coming unglued and people are losing the ability to tell fact from fiction, and AI is wrecking every form of creativity, and everybody wants to be an "influencer" (God I hate that word) whether they know shit about anything or not.

I never heard back from the anthology at the museum in town.  We went to another art show event and I asked someone who seemed to be in charge, and she just dismissed me like I was just some dum-dum who had no idea how publishing works.  Yeah, I'm coming up on my 40th anniversary of my first published works.  I don't see anything wrong with asking if anyone knew where the zine was at.

And we never heard back from the big story/poem collection we put together and delivered at the end of the year.

But there was one big highlight this weekend.  It was a zoom call for the 20th anniversary of one of the short films I wrote way-back-when.  It was Voice of the Dead, produced by Cohen Phillips and his whole family.  One of my favorite film projects, even though it was shot in Missouri and I was in San Diego.  We had such a good rapport and such good communication that I really felt like I was there.  It was so nice to see some of the cast and crew again.  Who knew that two of the ghost characters I made up would get married in real life?  Good times.

Oddly, the version of the script in my "scripts" folder was just the first two pages.  I have no idea why the full script isn't in my archive.

I will try to gather a few more pieces and get this post updated soon.
