The website has finally been posted. I've been working on it for the last 8 months off and on. I'm pretty happy how it turned out. I have learned more coding than I ever imaged during the process. Javascript is making much more sense, and CSS is really beginning to come together for me. All this has really helped me to save a lot of money while investing in time. My graphic designer did a smashing job on the homepage design and logo. I just love it. We work-shopped it for weeks, some in person, but much of it long distance. What a world.
And it's pretty much finished now. All I have to do is get the theater linked. The theater has a few minor issues, but it's all coded and works and is 'online,' just 'offline'. The store has no product, but that's a totally different issue. All the pages work, and all the assets are hosted. And I haven't had to pay any hosting fees (yet). I'm afraid the movie takes a long time to load, and I may need to (when I can afford it) dedicate a host just to stream video. (ten minutes + is a long time to sit through a slide show)
Anyway, there will be changes here and there, but such is the case with most websites I think. Glad to have the main stuff done. What a relief.

Change
Recently I had some insights into how best to execute the creative development of my work. Awareness, desire and pure inspiration have led to research that is allowing for an unlooked-for fusion between two separate aspects of my life. These are exciting days.

A new short story
A few months back one of my colleagues was getting really antsy to get going on a project. We have been engaged in other matters of utmost and related importance, but still there's a nagging feeling because we're not immediately engaged in our ultimate objective- making films. He insisted that he was ready to shoot a film. So.. I dug in for the next day or two and came up with something. It's called "Snow."
