Fantastic Blood
About 6 months ago I was invited to attend a film financing seminar at the Harvard Business School. Little did I know that this somewhat mind twisting experience would lead to a bloody smashed car! At the seminar I made a new friend - Chris - who was doing a project studying independent films. Long story short we talked for a time and exchanged emails. He introduced me to a friend of his David who was in Austin, Texas and had just completed a documentary film called
Crawford (
http://www.crawfordmovie.com). When we found we were to have our Worldwide Premier in Austin I called my new friends and asked if they'd help out with a little blood and gore. David, Chris, and another friend Nick set about putting up posters all around Austin and gathering tools for our task. It turned out that David had just retired his 20 year old Volvo and was willing to donate it to our film cause. Last night we gleefully took out our early festival stress by taking sledge hammers to the car and covering it in blood - ala the demons in
Seventh Moon.
It was quite fun and seemed to cause quite a stir outside the theatre. If you're in Austin now it makes for a good pic. Any way - just wanted to give a shout out and thanks to my friends. We are all here now in Austin and the festival gets underway in earnest today.

Wow. Now THAT’S marketing. Cool!
What is it you guys have with beating up vehicles? The Porsche in The Strand, the Volvo…..remind me not to park nearby if I ever piss you guys off. (I can also imagine having to convince the cops that you have permission to do this. “No, really, Officer. He said I could beat his car with a sledgehammer. I swear!”
That is some of the coolest shit I’ve seen yet. New franchise! Seventh Moon automobiles with front, rear and side impact bloodbaths!
