Sunday's screening and discussion of the moving documentary When Pigs Fly was fantastic.
The event was completely sold out. Lory (barefoot in her wheelchair), Charlene, and most of the family were present at the screening, and the discussion session after was very emotional. People were inspired by Lory's life story, and many were angered by some of the Worker's Comp issues raised in the film.
The presence of a CSX lawyer in the audience only served to ratchet up the tension during the discussion.

And yes, here and now, another video from the award-winning series ALTERED - BEHIND THE SCENES - THE MAKING OF THE FILM, hosted by Leonard Nimoy, presented by KODAK, we bring good things to life.
Man, the Cronin video racked up 199 views! I knew he was a superstar, but I had no idea Cronin-mania had reached such a fever-pitch of intensity!
Check this video out and try to stay awake as Gregg and I try to stay awake and answer questions about the post process of the film. A lot of face touching on this one.
Look, we were tired as shit at this point. I was homesick and Halesick and Hale was Sanchezsick, I'm sure.
Anyway, just a few more of these to power our way through and we'll move on to bigger and better things, I promise.
Some cool developments last week on a script I just finished called SEVENTH MOON that we hope to shoot in China. Hopefully we'll be able to talk about that really soon.
Peace and love.

Lord All Mighty, will these damn ALTERED BTS VIDEOS ever end!
After the great success of our last episode (82 views!), this one is sure to generate some heat...CRONIN-style.
That's right, it's Jam-Lando's own Michael Cronin breaking it down hard-core like with his rhymes and rhythms, bringing all his flavor to the house, keeping it live and keeping it real!
He edited ALTERED.
Cronin's my editing bitch from now on, that's for sure. Cool guy and the best editor I've ever worked with. He's a crazy mo-fo with some mad FINAL CUT PRO skillz!
And that's what it's all about, baby.

My friends Eric Breitenbach and Phyllis Redman recently completed an absolute stunner of a documentary called When Pigs Fly. It's an incredibly moving portrait of a quadriplegic woman who lives with and cares for over 700 pigs. Now on the festival circuit, check the website for any screenings near you -- this one is not to be missed.
On March 25, 2007, I'll be moderating a panel discussion after a screening of the film at the Florida Film Festival, so if come on by and check it out on the big screen, as it is a beautifully photographed movie.
Until then, enjoy the trailer:
