Last night I spent the night with Alison O'Daniel who used to live with me in Austin 4.5 years ago. She showed me her thesis film Night Sky made while at University of California Irvine. The film features hearing and non-hearing actors as well as some wicked audio effects and visuals. Alison also made the point than whenever you see women in sublime landscapes they are always in trouble, and her film has two women who are lost in the desert, but just deal with it. Since she said this, I have been furiously re-categorizing films I have seen into this category; Thelma and Louise and Picnic at Hanging Rock are the first two that come to mind.
Currently watching The Wrestler while my stepsister Nomi reads All the Devils Are Here next to me in preparation for her interview with the authors on Saturday. Tomorrow we are going to do yoga and get pedicures.
