After one summer of shooting, a year of editing (by Danny, the film's writer, producer, and, uh, editor), and $20 bucks later, Dead Awake is finally out. It's really nice to actually see something I've been thinking about for so long. And I'm really pleased with how it turned out. So go ahead and check it out (try mirrors 0 and 5 first) and if you feel inspired, write a review as a comment to this post.
In addition to being available, Dead Awake is also apparently quite popular. Danny posted the web page a few days ago and I think started promoting it yesterday. Today I get a phone call around 11:30AM.
[I check out caller ID, see it's Danny, answer phone]
Me:"Hey, what's up man?"
Danny: "Um . . . do you have any available servers?"
Me: "Huh?"
Apparently, the company that hosts www.deadawakemovie.com had called him earlier that morning warning him that we had used up 4GB of our monthly alloted 5GB download quota earlier this morning. But Danny, true to form, calmly managed the situation. He got his ass moving, pulled the download link from deadawakemovie.com, added two extra mirrors, and closely monitored our download situation. And at the end of the day, it doesn't look like we are going to have to pay any extra fees.
Let me tell you something about Danny. He is one the smartest people I know (and defnitely the most creative), but he couldn't care less about spelling, which you probably know if you read his excellent blog, Danman's Wasted Brain. Throughout the years, his mispellings have been the source of almost endless amusement. A few classics: "forget" became "frogget," "flirtatious" became "flourtasish," and "encounters" became "in counters." But I only recently discovered the most amazing example of misspelling the other day on his personal web profile.. On this site, I actually see the text "Dan Mayer (AKA Daniel Stephan Mayer)" . . . . I'll repeat that because it bears repeating. Dan Mayer (AKA Daniel Stephan Mayer). That's right, he didn't take the time to correctly spell his own middle name. Simply amazing. You're my hero, Dan.
Finally, this is my 51st entry in this blog. I missed announcing the big five oh, but this seems even bigger and better.

by the way at work in a project i misspelled the word quote as qoute and it is in the package and to hard to rebuild everything so my misspelling is now immortalized within my code. I will fix my name soon, but first let your reader's rejoyce (sp?) in my stupidity.

Posted by: damacus at August 16, 2003 09:44 PMFinally got around to downloading and watching the video.
I found it to be generally insightful, covering something I've chatted with other friends about previously... the daily cycle which we, humans, so easily fall into and in which we seem to lose part of our identities and cheapens the beauty of being alive -- the mind shuts down and slips into autopilot.
I thought that point was made very well, both in speech and in the acting out of a set routine.
The one area I really wanted to see expanded or perhaps talked of more were the dream sequences and dreams themselves -- yeah, a lot of dreams are wistful and beautiful, some erotic, some about idealized success.. but what of those relating to failure, fear and action? I think these all tie in to the idea of really experiencing emotions that we rarely face in am average day-in-the-life.. and that the emotions themselves are pure and complete.. being the reaction to a stimulus in a closed system.
Also, what about those dreams where the thought is about something that during the dream seems totally logical and great, but awake you realize that there is little basis in reality? Total control over the rules of existance.. like you showed flying, but what else?
Anyhow, I thought the film was definitely up to WastedBrains standards -- keep the freshness coming. :)
