As 2014 rolled around, my short Scotty Works OUT was continuing to play at various festivals around the country. One of the highlights was at the Santa Fe Film Festival where it played in a theater rehabbed and run by Game of Thrones writer George R.
Loved seeing the Scotty and Josh production stills. While I have seen the film numerous times, I had never seen the behind the scenes shots. I remember the agony and the ecstasy, or in this case the ecstasy and then the agony, of the erasure of the footage from that first shoot. It was a real testament to you and the cast and crew to go through it all again. You all came out the better for it and the film was very well received on the festival circuit. Going to those festivals was certainly a thrill.
Always love seeing your mom in these. Really miss her. Such a generous loving soul.
That sounds like quite a year! My top 20 from 2014 included Hiss Golden Messenger, Beck, Breton, David Greilsammer, Hollie Cook, Spoon, The GOASTT, Hamilton Leithauser, Tweedy, Nicole Atkins, Debby Schwartz, Hospitality, Kae Tempest, Angel Olsen, John Luther Adams, Scott Walker & sunnn O))), Golden Retriever, Perfect Pussy, Brooklyn Rider, and Jonny Greenwood. You can read about the them here: http://anearful.blogspot.com/2014/12/best-of-14-part-2.html?m=1. Seeds was the first TVOTR album in a while that didn’t hit that hard for me - I should probably revisit it!
Love TVOTR, and "Careful You" is just a fantastic track!
Besides them, 2014 saw me listening to quite a bit of Spoon's They Want My Soul LP, Future Islands' "Seasons (Waiting on You)," and Royal Blood's "Figure It Out."
Very inspiring that the film was erased and you did it again and aced it. A powerful example for your students.
Love your mom!
Thanks Ellen! Making that film was a highlight - even with the horrifying erasure!

A significant year!
Thank you Frank.
Thoroughly enjoyed both your short films, Dan!
Thanks so much Troy! More to come!
I loved the film. The dialogue is so powerful!
I know we’re not always on the same page musically but you should check it out again!

Haven't heard much from TVOTR in a while. I loved that particular album!
‘Tape was a brave film. I enjoyed it during my Linklater screenings.
