12 Films. 12 Weeks. There are worse ways to spend a summer.

Our Latest Film-Race Entry: “Thirsty Work”!

Another Film Race has come and gone, and I’m just now feeling recovered enough to blog about it.  Perhaps even more so than “The Queen Bee of Mushroomtown,” this was a surreal and wonderful experience.  The hours flew by, the team clicked seamlessly; we became a lean, mean, pizza-fueled filmmaking machine.  And you know what?  I think we made a really good movie.  We call it “Thirsty Work,” and we can’t wait to let it loose upon the world.

Speaking of which, come to this Saturday’s 7:30 screening at NYU’s Cantor Film Center!  We’ll be there, and we’d love to see you.  Tickets and details are available here.

“Thirsty Work” will be posted in this space sometime next week.  Till then, here are some pictures to tide you over!  I hope they capture a little piece of the experience.  It was a magical time.

(It may be noted that our beloved Clint Byrne doesn’t appear in these photos.  That’s because Clint was too busy taking photos to pose for any.  Thanks, Clint!)

Yes, that's water from the Atlantic Ocean. No, Mike's not very happy about it.

Are you intrigued yet?

Done with shooting! One happy crew.

With a few hours left to turn in the movie, the remaining team enjoys a short break on the roof.

… and we got the film in with time to spare!  We’re getting pretty good at this.  Should that worry me?
