Thai HDtv film for SXSW in progress August 6th, 2006 | | Make me happy! Leighton Hodges and I shot ten min. In Pattaya last night. 5 min. in Heaven Above GoGo. Footage presentable and great background shots of ladies of the night. We will shoot beach road this aftenoon around sunset and Au Bon Coin galllery cum restaurant. Brilliant French food and our host Jose Cohen is the inspiration for Cafe Bebert in the Magik P. Cafe Bebert is named after Louis Ferdinand Celine the great french writer�s cat. We will shoot in BK the Bohemian sector of Kohasan Road and take the boat to the Oriental Hotel on the River. The novelist-screen writer Jake Needham read at the author�s lounge of the Oriental last week. Met the US and Isreali Embassadors. Jim Newport who wrote Break Down Palace was there also. Very nice guy and he will be shooting here in the spring bassed on his Vampire Novel trillogy. There is also a brilliant Viviane Westwood Exhibit at Emporium. We shot up Patpong and our hood on Sukumvit already. Conrad�s Heart of Darkness was never like this. Paul Terry and Bob Nagy and Leighton Hodges are shooting and editing it in HD and will submit to the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas (SXSW.com) . Wish us luck. Enjoyed reading your ideas and have used a bunch of the ideas already ( great debauched minds..) and will steal others. Thanks for taking the time. Much appreciated. Leighton would love to meet you someday. Tony and Leighton Hodges || tags: Uncategorized, hdtv, film, movie, Thailand, sex, sxsw, youtube, filmfestival author: magickpapers comments: No Comments

Encouragement (and ideas!) from film producer Michael Sorenson August 6th, 2006 | | Make me happy! Greetings, mates! Miss all of you in BKK, but here is a possible �mock documentary� treatment in lieu of my actual presence. Title: �Real and Holding in the Land of Smiles� 1. College-aged filmmaker travels to Thailand for 30 days to shoot a documentary video on Buddhism and Asean Culture. Despite volumes of cultural research, the filmmaker did not look into climate conditions, and finds himself arriving in full sweep of the rainy season. It rains torrentially everyday, and as there is only one camera, he shoots life on the streets below from his hotel window in between downpours. 2. Filmmaker encounters Tony and the Expat Round Table during a late breakfast one morning. After the members give the filmmaker permission to turn on his camera, he can almost not contain his excitement. Despite the fact that Asean culture and Buddhism are not the topics of conversation, the exchange is possibly more fascinating to him that the film he came to realize in Thailand. 3. The filmmaker and Tony bond over meals, Chang Beer and a motorcycle taxi ride initiation. During a conversation about traveling at �The Star of Light� bar (if you have to ask�), Tony asks the filmmaker if he would like to take a �side trip�. The filmmaker says yes, completely misunderstanding what Tony has in mind. 4. What follows should be a phantasmagorical journey into the respective �hearts of darkness and light� within Bangkok and Pattaya. Go as far as you want in this regard. �Taste� and the �shocking of your audience� should be no factor of consideration in determining these episodes. It goes without saying that the roadtrip from once city to another should be part of the fun as well! 5. The filmmaker survives the�wild ride�, and comes down on the verge of reaching a higher consciousness. He delivers one last entry for the camera, with BBC World News playing in the background. He announces that he is evolving. He says that the United States is over. It will most certainly fail in his short lifetime, and de doesn�t know if he�ll ever go back. There are too may adventures to be had, too much life to live in other parts of this world where people may not be so afraid of one another. He�s also giving up on traditional filmmaking. �Real life is the new cinema. Real life is Cinema 2.0.� He smashes the camera on the floor. Roll credits. Take good care mates, and can�t wait to see the flick!
