So. here's the story: We started documenting the making of "Clocking The T" on our Twitter account all the way back when we decided to start writing the script in 2013. But now all that is Schrodinger's Tweets since Twitter began Xeeting or whateverthefucking and might crash out our existence with a hard drive fart. So I went ahead and transferred The Making Of timeline here. I'll keep the Twitter feed up to date as long as possible, but we also started a mirror on Threads and BlueSky. They kinda pick up from our release into the wild on so here's the best place to find it all in one place. Anyway, here's the timeline of our production…
This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel. This is a bumper panel.

So much pain picking a scriptwriting program. Ugh. Tabs and automatic columns should NOT be expensive!
May 21, 2013
I'm outlining, I'm outlining!
June 5, 2013
Honest, I'm working! Although, to be honest, I did take vacation between this and the last tweet.
June 28, 2013
Outline v1 delivered!
Still... sooooooo much work.
*sigh*
Still... sooooooo much work.
*sigh*
June 29, 2013
A 4 day holiday smashing into a new gig and trying to find the right balance to write. Ugh. This would be so much easier if I was talented.
July 8, 2013
Apparently, neither Pedro or I have made any progress. We're pathetic.
August 18, 2013
Depression sets in. Followed by determination! Followed by cake. And more depression.
August 18, 2013
We regret to announce the demise of Pedro's MacBook, 2001-13. The PowerPC chip reportedly shouted, "Damn you, Intel!," before its death. RIP
August 19, 2013
Hey, lookitthat... I wrote a scene... And a good one!
August 19, 2013
Not much today. Some scribbling. *sigh*
August 20, 2013
Lots of good writing today... that'll have to be rewritten! [Janus face goes here]
September 3, 2013
Workity, work, work, work! I'm on a roll!
September 5, 2013
This job I'm on makes me want to WRITE FASTER!!!!
September 6, 2013
Does shuffling note cards on a cork board count as writing? I'm using the same cork board as William Makepeace Thackeray, so it should.
September 7, 2013
My computer is in the shop for a new mobo, so it's legal pads and pencils for me!
September 9, 2013
Another job, another kicking in the ass by incompetents. Gotta work harder to exit this business… and by ‘business’ I mean ‘ineptitude.’
September 26, 2013
Write, write, write!
September 26, 2013
The suspicious lack of tweets is because I forgot my Twitter password. The upside is I was free from the tyranny of tweeting. 1/2

Oh, and I went to Scotland. So there. 2/2

Is this thing still on?

Seventy-one pages and counting.

100 pages! Pop those champagne corks now!... wait, no bubbly? Okay, pull the tab on a Diet Soda pronto!

January 30, 2014
Soooooooooooooo sick of the moronatards in the business. Wait, did I say moronatards? I meant sons of bitches.
February 3, 2014
I'm at the dentist getting a cavity filled. Surprisingly, it's a lot like writing.
February 7, 2014
I just heard something hilariously funny! Thank God I can tweet about it.
February 14, 2014
Just registered the URL's to make up for not writing the last two weeks. I'm busy as a Hollywood producer! (Well.. a producer's ASSISTANT).
February 17, 2014
Writing during a tornado warning in Southern California! How utterly appropriate for where I am in my life right now. Banzai!

I wrote a crap scene today. (Don't tell anybody.)
March 19, 2014
I fixed that crap scene. We're cool now.
March 22, 2014
First Draft, done, boom, there it is. WHOOP! WHOOP! (I'm doing that palms-up-raising-the-roof-thing. Cause I'm white. And old. And white.)
March 23, 2014
Here's the secret pain about copywriting: Using a government website is like stabbing a fork into your foot. Many times. OUCH, already.
March 25, 2014
Sent the first draft to five readers, one of whom warned me, "I hate everything." Sweet!
March 26, 2014
Just received notes from our first disappointed reader. Wah-wah! Four more disappointed readers to go!
March 27, 2014
Still waiting on feedback. I'm tapping my foot here!
March 29, 2014
Our second reader LIKES it... But wants an entirely new story, new characters & new motivations. O_o Three more disappointed readers to go!
March 31, 2014
Reader #3 thinks it's promising & had some constructive notes to offer. But really, he wants it to be a different movie. C'est la vie.
April 2, 2014
Two more disappointed readers to go!
April 2, 2014
"I finished reading. I will gather some thoughts for you shortly." = Disappointed Reader #4! YES!
April 5, 2014
Second Draft is DONE.
April 10, 2014
Reader #5 will only communicate her dislike for the script to my girlfriend. Apparently, it breaks all the rules her script coach told her.
April 13, 2014
Oh, and she wants to know if there's any way to end this with Dave triumphant at the top of the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art? NO.
April 13, 2014
To sum up: The First Draft reception is zero for five. Booyakasha!
April 13, 2014
Forgot to tweet about entering the 3rd draft for the Nicholl Fellowship. Even if it places, we'll already be in post-production! (I hope).
April 27, 2014
Trying to figure out how to setup a table read. It's like I'm stumbling through a maze but knowing there's cheese somewhere!
May 3, 2014
Went to the SAGIndie meeting Thursday. Interesting. Promising? TBD.
May 10, 2014
Brain Fart: I gave the 1st draft to SIX people not five. Yesterday I got bullsh*t notes from #6 after chasing him down for two weeks. WTF?
May 12, 2014
None of the scriptwriting doctrines tell you that some people will read your script and not want to know you anymore. It’s heartbreaking.
May 12, 2014
Jeez, penning a casting notice for a table read is like cramming for a test. It's a real craft. Who knew?
May 13, 2014
Just finished posting a casting call on three sites for the table read. Man, filling out those forms is like slogging thru the SAT again!
May 14, 2014
The response to the casting call is currently running at:
165 actors for Dave
358 actors for Candace
115 actors for Stanfield
165 actors for Dave
358 actors for Candace
115 actors for Stanfield
May 17, 2014
I just spent 18 hours watching actors' online reels. And I'm still not done! I'm underwater already.
May 18, 2014
Out of the blue, Disappointed Reader #4 emails me two pages of notes TWO MONTHS later. WTF?
Suddenly, it's a badge of honor she hates it.
Suddenly, it's a badge of honor she hates it.
May 19, 2014
Just emailed scripts to the first two actors up for our table read. [Insert "Dragnet" theme here]
May 20, 2014
8 scripts out to 8 actors = Making figure 8's with my toe.
May 24, 2014
This just in: The actor we asked to read "Dave' has passed. :(
Back to the casting boards.
Back to the casting boards.
May 24, 2014
New day, new Dave! Balancing this good news is our Avaline just dropped out. To be fair, she probably read the script. *zing!*
May 28, 2014
Trying to cast a table read is like juggling cats. Angry cats. Holding little teeny-weeny chainsaws in their paws.
May 29, 2014
Our new Dave emailed to compliment the script. He's the 1st person I'm not living with to say one positive thing about it. It means a lot.
May 31, 2014
Well, the table read is over. Wow. Some great actors have really illuminated the strengths and weaknesses of "CTT." THANK YOU.
June 1, 2014
Remember when I was writing every day? Yeah, me neither.
June 12, 2014
I haven't written diddley in a month. And I'm making EVERY EXCUSE not to. What the hell's wrong with me?
July 9, 2014
I’m cutting & tightening the table read recording so I can play it back and find obvious places to cut. FINALLY, I’m workin’, I’m workin’!
July 12, 2014
That flushing sound is the Nicholl Fellowship after just sh*tting out "Clocking The T." Wak wah!
July 23, 2014
What I learned at the Blackmagic Design Expo today: Geek girls have great smiles & you risk death getting between free food and tech-heads.
July 24, 2014
Okay, I got married yesterday. I am justified in my lack of progress.
August 4, 2014
I'm writing! I'm writing again! FINALLY.
August 12, 2014
Help.
*whimper*
*whimper*
August 15, 2014
Why do I procrastinate soooo much? *sigh* Only one thing to do: I'd better research 'putting sh*t off' some more.
August 22, 2014
I'm back in the groove! Crisis averted!
August 23, 2014
This 'simple' story restructure turned into something like removing every 10th tile in a domino line so it doesn't fall flawlessly anymore.
August 26, 2014
It's 3:45 in the morning and I'm making script corrections. Have I lost the plot? (Not as in, like, 'lost the plot,' but 'lost my mind.")
September 11, 2014
Sometimes rewriting is a lot like tunneling out of prison with a spork.
September 13, 2014
Whatdyaknow, I came up with some good stuff today. Therefore, I will not beat myself up tonight. Yay!
September 17, 2014
Holy Schnikes, so far everybody LOVES this new draft. Now I don't know what to do with myself. I guess I'll make a sandwich.
September 23, 2014
Fcuk, I just got a new trailer gig. See you in two weeks! *groan*
September 29, 2014
I spent ALL DAY trying to make a splash page for the CTT website. Die, Freeway Pro, DIE.
October 5, 2014
Just sent the fourth draft out to the actors from the table read and an ex-girlfriend. Screenwriting makes strange bedfellows, doesn't it?
October 6, 2014
To date, no one with the new draft has responded. Paranoia and self doubt, however, called collect.
October 12, 2014
I've just spent the last two days trying to buy lenses. My head is about to explode.
October 29, 2014
Just met a guy off Craigslist with a scratched to hell Nikon 24mm lens. Trick or treat!
October 31, 2014
Good Lord, I just bought a camera! I must be serious.
November 6, 2014
Day 2: I don't think "Out For Delivery" means the same thing to UPS as it does to everybody else. *sigh*
November 13, 2014
Ran some camera tests today with the BMCC 2.5K. Now I can see in high definition ProRes HQ that I'm a FAT little piggy.
November 14, 2014
Shopping for gear is sucking the life out of me. :(
November 23, 2014
Continue breaking down the script or buy a nail gun and secure my foot to the floor over and over and over? Can't decide.
November 26, 2014
There really is no tutorial for how much foam to leave in-between lenses when customizing a hard case. YouTube, you have let me down.
December 4, 2014
I just finished timing the script in 1/8 pages. I wish I knew some good division jokes… because it's not really a funny task.
December 13, 2014
Breaking down a script in Celtx is like wrestling a bear. And oiled up bear. A totally ugly not sexy oiled up wrestling bear.
December 16, 2014
Buh Bye, Celtx. It's been real, and it's been good, but it hasn't been 'real good.'
December 19, 2014
pent the evening popping off Xmas establishing shots for CTT. Photography has officially sorta kinda begun! (In a shaky, underexposed way)
December 20, 2014
Manfrotto; scummiest company on earth? Discuss.
December 22, 2014
Spent an hour trying to shoot a dog in front of Christmas lights. Discovered I'm not as smart, experienced, or capable as I thought. *sigh*
December 24, 2014
So long, Laing P-04S. Loose and rickety is no way to go thru life. Into the return bin you go.
December 29, 2014
Hey, remember when I was makin' a movie? Me neither.
Man, I have a lot of chores today.
*sigh*

SAF-AFTRA's just announced 25% pay hike on the Ultra-Low Budget agreement just f'd us up six ways to Sunday.
January 12, 2015
Every setback is like a stab to my heart. How does ANY independent movie get made?
January 16, 2015
Spent ALL DAY on the phone—insurance, payroll, child labor, Humane Society… Now I know why producers are always on the phone. And forelorn.
January 21, 2015
Long Beach wants $2,100 for a film permit to film TWO HOURS. And they're calling that a 'discount.' I'm calling that 'bullshit.'
January 24, 2015
My wife gave me her head cold and all she has to say is, "Loving is sharing."

January 26, 2015
We just secured our first gratis location! Only umpteen more to go.
January 28, 2015
Low budget filmmaker? Sure the city will give you a $200 permit... and $570 in application fees. WTF are they thinking?
February 3, 2015
I just posted casting calls… What am I thinking?!?!? Freaking TERRIFYING.
February 4, 2015
Some days are 'yes' days and some days are 'no' days. This was 'yes' day and we secured two more locations. We need more 'yes' days!
February 5, 2015
Over 1,700 submissions for CANDACE and 1,500 for Dave. My stuttering DSL connection isn't helping me watch all those reels tonight.
*sigh*
*sigh*
February 6, 2015
I just woke up to 10,493 submissions. ⊙_ʘ
February 7, 2015
Acting reel tips: No intro, put your BEST material first, recut material to focus on YOU (no matter how small), and all montages at the end.
February 8, 2015
Just got off the phone with another location that'll graciously let us film on their premises. Holy cow, THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO HAPPEN!
February 8, 2015
I've watched so many audition clips I can't brain no more.
February 9, 2015
Trying to stream hundreds of audition clips make you realize that America is, internet-wise, a third world nation. Ugh.
February 10, 2015
After 4 days I have successfully screened 2,205 auditions—for 1 character. Feel like that 'Keep Truckin' dude. if he was in a ball, crying.
February 11, 2015
When we tell anyone we're making a movie the very first thing they do is make a strange face. No, really. Try it at home.
February 12, 2015
Another day, another letter begging for a free location. :/
February 13, 2015
Just asked an acquaintance re: possibly filming in a location & was immediately filed next to pedophiles. He couldn't run away fast enough.
February 15, 2015
Am I the ONLY person who wants to make this movie? Because I'll be honest, it's f'n LONELY here.
February 15, 2015
On a tech scout to our main location to find I hadn't charged the camera battery fully. I really need to fire my ass for incompetence.
February 16, 2015
I have just finished going through 1,416 submissions for the protagonist. Guess who's drinking early today?
February 17, 2015
I can barely get through casting media because **&* is throttling my line. Illegal? You bet. Still doing it? Believe it.
February 18, 2015
Sheeet, I just realized it's been 643 DAYS since we started making this movie. Time does indeed fly.
February 19, 2015
Making this movie has been like taking sandpaper to my soul… and my relationships.
February 19, 2015
Making casting selects of the casting selects. Allllllll day.
February 20, 2015
Line item budgeting is NOT why I got into the movie business.
February 21, 2015
I'm dead tired from staring at a computer screen all day. What a life.
February 21, 2015
Hmm, my just finished budget is 3K over what I planned. Is there any chance my spreadsheet is as good at math as me? Fingers crossed!
February 22, 2015
I wake up at four in the morning and stare at the ceiling worrying about things that need to be done. Not. Good.
February 23, 2015
I hope the thunder and driving rain today isn't an ominous premonition of the shooting schedule... or my sanity.
February 23, 2015
I think my main location went AWOL. The apartment owner is ducking my emails. *sigh* Guess I better start looking again.
February 24, 2015
You know that feeling you get when someone is playing you and they don't think you notice? I had that feeling today.
February 26, 2015
Does the FCC classifying the internet as a public utility mean that **&* will slow down my DSL only a teensy weeny from now on? 'MURICA!
February 27, 2015
Annnnnnnnd just like that we're non-union. Makin' moovees is 'spensive!
February 27, 2015
Now that we're ready to audition the casting website suddenly refuses to load. PHUCK, PHUCK, PHUCK, PHUCK!
February 28, 2015
Total actor submissions as of this morning: 13,739
February 28, 2015
Camera prep all day. Exhausting.
March 1, 2015
Wrapped a barter shoot today: Location for editing a promo--which turned into equip. package, D.P. & co-direct for idiot producer wannabe. 1/3
March 2, 2015
BTW, I know you tried to sell me out for $200, scumbag. Now every time we talk it's like wiping dogsh*t off my shoe, which is what you are. 2/3
March 2, 2015
Oh, and we already have TWO other locations lined up because you keep changing our deal. We already KNOW you'll weasel out, turd. 3/3
March 2, 2015
ALLLLLL day long I've been generating sides and booking casting rooms. But we've started making calls to actors. It's exciting. No, really.
March 3, 2015
Got another insincere, "Let me know if you need any help!" Just $1 every time someone said that could fund this film. That's the tru tru.
March 4, 2015
Just interviewed a possible Production Assistant. Have I interviewed anybody for this film yet? I don't think so. Feels weird...
March 6, 2015
My God, trying to get Mr. Dogsh*t the media from Monday's shoot is like pulling fingernails. Honestly, I think he's been drinking. A lot.
March 7, 2015
I think I'm geared up for auditions tomorrow. Need to sleep but can't. My bedside clock mocks me.
March 8, 2015
Woke up at 5:00 AM and stared into Daylight Savings Time darkness. It's exhausting pretending to be a director.
March 9, 2015
We just finished our first two auditions. Some seriously talented people out there!
March 9, 2015
Just got home from a 12 hr. audition marathon. Invited 49 actors and 24 showed. Um, is that good? Methinks... Not?
March 9, 2015
OMG I'm so tired. It was like casting in an Easy-Bake Oven.
March 9, 2015
Back to location begging and trying to cast the male lead.
March 10, 2015
Script's out to an actress we like. Nervous as hell. All my confidence swirls the toilet waiting for approval—Hope I stick to the bowl!
March 11, 2015
The person who promised to help me schedule this movie just flaked. Luckily I have an entire team of ME to rely on.
March 11, 2015
So Mr. Dogsh*t finally picked up his drive… and took scissors to the cables & told his new editor I did it. Hollywood!
March 11, 2015
Arranging callbacks all day. Freaking EXHAUSTED.
March 12, 2015
Man, scheduling SUCKS. Can't someone make better software for this? Wait, not better software but a better PARADIGM. Please?
March 13, 2015
I think we may have just cast our Candace. Fingers crossed!
March 13, 2015
Just finished our 2nd auditions. Question: Why do people not show up? If you don't come in for the interview you can't get the job, people!
March 13, 2015
I need to go beg for another location today. Should get out of bed first?
March 14, 2015
Another humiliating location beat down. *sigh* I should have stayed in bed.
March 14, 2015
The world needs more Osa Wallander's.
March 15, 2015
We started offering parts to actors. The cast is assembling!
March 17, 2015
Just signed the deal memo for our Production Assistant. Technically, our first hire.
March 18, 2015
Our new PA explained to me that she's actually the THIRD hire, after me and the missus. Getting old sucks... I can't count anymore!
March 18, 2015
My God, the mountain of SH*T that I still have to do....
March 19, 2015
We're meeting one of the leads and arrived late. How Hollywood of us. Scummy, scummy Hollywood. :(
March 19, 2015
Took at least two rocks off that mountain of sh*t today. At this rate it'll be reduced to a molehill in no time!
March 20, 2015
Sent scripts out, chased down callbacks, budgeted, begged for locations, and drank a Cosmo. I'm the "Sex In The City" of micro budget films.
March 21, 2015
Just finished our 4th set of auditions. I'm feeling good about it. Of course, being in FOCUS would make me feel even better.

Remember that 'yes day/no day' thing? Well, this was a yes, yes, YES day!
March 24, 2015
Man, today was like riding a tornado side saddle. I'm hitting the pillow HARD tonight.
March 24, 2015
We cast our Dave today. *whew* With 11 days left that was close!
March 24, 2015
Osa Wallander is gonna come on board and help us out behind the lens. Plus, she'll bring pastry. *Winning!*
March 25, 2015
Just dropped off a cashier's check for the cast & crew payroll. In for a penny, in for a pound!

Tech scouts, meeting with actors, finalizing permits, take the kids to after school stuff--Did I take a shower? Better put that on my list.
March 26, 2015
Today was non stop. And there's still more work to be don--Zzzzzzzz.....
March 27, 2015
Five tubs of props. Sweet Jebus, my wife was right: This script is too ambitious. *sigh*
March 28, 2015
I just uploaded the official logo avatar. Is that worthy of a tweet? Too late!
March 29, 2015
This waking up at 2AM and staring at the ceiling trying to foresee a million problems during shooting next week is getting old fast.
March 30, 2015
Table read… DONE. We are a fantastic group of people! Take that 'every job we never got!'
March 30, 2015
Up until the wee hours completing & scanning W-4's and I-9's. It's a glamorous business!

March 31, 2015
USPS lost my main prop. 10 days missing. Can't track it other than "It left Philly.' It must be nice not to get fired for incompetence.
March 31, 2015
I'm getting that scary Time Is Running Out feeling. Not. Good.
March 31, 2015
First rehearsal went well. At least, I didn't embarrass myself THAT bad.
April 1, 2015
So... one of our non union actors just joined SAG and wants to knows if that impacts our filming with her. *groan*
April 1, 2015
Can't get our permit because of the holiday. So... when did Easter become a three day holiday? Just asking.
April 3, 2015
So the owner of the bowling alley location wanted to make sure our film isn't porn. NO, IT'S NOT PRON. But… How do you PROVE that?
April 3, 2015
Why is the clock SO LOUD?!?!?!?!?
April 3, 2015
I was up until 2AM rewriting. Clay Davis says, "Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit."
April 4, 2015
48 hours to go. Well, 47.5 to be exact. Luckily I only have another 72 hours of prep left!
April 4, 2015
I just gave our $710 cashier's check for our film permit to the PA to deliver. Now I live in fear.
April 4, 2015
The deep dark hole when you realize there's no gettin' out of working Easter.
April 4, 2015
Honestly, Easter has caused us more pain than we ever expected. Next time we don't start shooting ANYWHERE near a holiday. Lesson learned.
April 5, 2015
T-Minus 11 hours 43 minutes.

Um... she's mocking me, right? :/

It's 2:34AM and I'm finally hitting the pillow for a refreshing 4 hours of shut eye. Usually this is bad but it keeps me from terror sweats.
April 6, 2015
This morning is NOT the morning to discover my kids April fooled my watch. Sphincter Factor: 9.5
April 6, 2015
Parked at a Korean Medical Center waiting on crew. Apparently I'm here first. Note to self: Get location key copied.
April 6, 2015
Holy cow, we started!
April 6, 2015
I am NOT making my day. Not. Good.
April 6, 2015
Wrapped. Finally. Ugh.
April 6, 2015
This up until 2AM every night is already getting old.
April 7, 2015
It *hurts* to wake up. Ugh.
April 7, 2015
As far as I'm concerned, going a half hour long IS MAKING YOUR DAY.
April 7, 2015
After getting 4 hours of sleep for two days I finally got an eight hour night... NOT. Why am I waking up early? Ugh.
April 8, 2015
Lost two props and one wardrobe already. (angry face emoticon goes here)
April 8, 2015
Two days in a row kinda sorta making my day. Maaaaaaaybe I'm finding my groove.
April 8, 2015
April 8, 2015
Got caught up in the actor's performance I forgot to pan with them. Sometimes I'm bush league. Most times I'm bush league. I'm bush league.
April 8, 2015
But panicking is my spirit animal.
April 9, 2015
We *almost* wrapped on time. Close enough for government work!
April 9, 2015
Soooooo.... The first day off that I can sleep in and I wake up at three in the morning. FML.
April 10, 2015
Great rehearsal with Jana and Chantal. I'm blessed to be working with so many actors bringing their A-Game.

April 14, 2015
A 12 hour day. Ugh. Too much pain. I gotta resked this movie over the weekend.
April 15, 2015
have been up TWENTY HOURS. #fuckme
April 15, 2015
Slashed my finger on a parchment box. I may not make it thru this movie alive.
April 15, 2015
Spent four hours today reshooting a key scene. Time and money WELL SPENT.

Pedro wants us to pay for his parking ticket. I'll get our UPM to issue him some petty cash... Wait, I meant, "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! No."
April 16, 2015
We just Osa'd this shot.
April 16, 2015
Trying to shoot a 3 1/2 page dia scene during sunset is like smashing my head against the limits of my talent. *cry*
April 16, 2015
The first eight hours of sleep in two weeks. EIGHT HOURS! It feels like a luxury vacation.
April 17, 2015
It's so WIERD to see the Koreatown location back to normal!
April 17, 2015
After two weeks of living on bottled water and licorice sticks I went full glutton today and now I feel like the Titanic's anchor.
April 17, 2015
Made our day, wrapped early, and had a screaming argument with a pedestrian tool. Another perfect day makin' movies.
April 19, 2015
Charlie Abraham as Nicholas Durant.
April 19, 2015
Jesus, the amount of props lost is kinda staggering. One of the maaaaaaany reasons we're over budget. *sigh*
April 20, 2015
The stomach churning realization that a promised location has completely forgotten about your low budget film.
April 20, 2015
Here we are not shooting scenes 53, 55A, & 56.
April 20, 2015
Somebody's gotta stay behind and watch the equipment. Might as well be me.
April 20, 2015
So, apparently the reason our bowling alley 'forgot' us was because now they want money. $1,800 for two hours. But they'll settle for $300.
April 20, 2015
Pro Tip: You can use bananas as a Hi-Hat.
April 21, 2015
Buying new socks because you don't have time to wash the ones you have IS a line item.

Twenty minutes spent looking for my keys. I have memory recall of about ten seconds now. *groan*
April 21, 2015
Bowling alley, take two.
April 21, 2015
That.... was weird. Why would anyone argue signing a location release? Next time we set this scene in a miniature golf course. Jesus.
April 21, 2015
I don't know what this film will BE anymore. Certain... 'choices' are making it into a film I'm not sure works. Color me depressed.
April 22, 2015
Imposing on friends. Nuthin' like being a mooch.
April 22, 2015
I'm soooooo tired it feels like exhaustion is baked into my bones. Can I sleep now? Is this filmmaking? Am I a filmmaker now?
April 23, 2015
Officially the most painful day of filming. Overcast, evil park rangers, producer incompetence results in only 2 scenes in the digital can.
April 23, 2015
Sound department showing us how it's done.
April 23, 2015
Why do all these permits & location fees have hidden costs that they tell you RIGHT BEFORE you show up? WTF?
April 23, 2015
Our schedule is f'd so we are f'd.
F.

April 23, 2015
Six weeks of being told a theater rental was $250 for an hour & we go to pay for Monday and get told "it's a two hour minimum." 4COL!
April 24, 2015
In the last 48 hours I'm down two $250 batteries: One seems lost and the other fell in a toilet (Don't ask).
April 24, 2015
After looking at dailies it's clear that our meal break was the most productive thing that happened yesterday.
April 24, 2015
Went looking for a snack at the craft table... and I'm at home on my day off! Note: Budget for Leanne all year long in case I need licorice.
April 24, 2015
To clarify my 4/22 tweet: The 'choices' were me thinking I could wear many hats & not have it affect my work. It's NOT a person (except me).
April 24, 2015
Buying a vending machine? Sure, why not?

Hey, it still works! More than you can say for the Manfrotto crap we bought. *zing*

Speaking of Manfrotto: This is how you fix shit (literally).
April 25, 2015
Also, add two power supplies for my LED lights to the MIA list. Ugh.
April 25, 2015
We just B&E'd into a house. Seriously.
April 25, 2015
I can't sleep. I've been up since 4 AM with my head in overdrive trying to solve problems that haven't happened down the road. Fcuk.
April 26, 2015
1) Another location that wants double what their published fees are. WTF? Car dealerships can't do that anymore but film related deals can?
April 26, 2015
2) I actually grew up some in a mafia neighborhood in Rhode Island. I'd rather deal with them. They don't pussyfoot around.

Due to lack of faith in my driving I have been forced to surrender the minivan keys to Jana & Leanne. It's like driving with my wife.

Two scenes, two days, endless problems, major heartache. This location is CURSED.

Suckerpunched again by $750 in hidden fees. Hope they don't notice we didn't add additional subrogation whosamafuddy to the policy.
April 30, 2015
I think I need a new mini ball head. I think.

Boom. Done.

Now THAT'S a good day.
April 20, 2015
Up until 2AM recreating key props AGAIN. The sheer amount of props, set dec, costumes lost is infuriating. Grrrr...

I just wasted an entire day transcoding the wrong timeline. I think it's safe to say I'm officially 'super tired' now.
May 11, 2015
Every day of editing needs to start like this.
May 13, 2015
Old computer: Transcoding dailies takes 15 hours. New computer: 2.5 hours. Holy schnikes!
May 15, 2015
Surprisingly, stress and licorice are a fantastic diet plan. I've lost eight pounds making this movie.
CORRECTION: It was closer to 14 pounds.

t's weird to text the actors. I see them every day editing... But not for real since we wrapped. It's a strange art form, isn't it?
June 23, 2015
Cut, snip, chop, chop, cmd-z!
June 25, 2015
Still editing.
June 29, 2015
Yesterday this movie looked like a train wreck. But today it's lookin' pretty good. Fingers crossed that tomorrow it's an Oscar winner!

Must re-transcode last week of dailies cuz now Avid hates its own HQX codec. Regret not going MacGyver & cutting with sharp rock and Elmers.
September 20, 2015
Wasn't I just "back on track" a week ago? I miss those days. Good times.
September 20, 2015
Sat all day fruitlessly waiting on Avid to call back for my one tech support call a month. Worse, I just used the word 'fruitlessly.' Grr...
September 21, 2015
We discovered that we're missing an entire day of audio. Lost. Gone. The last two weeks make me want to suck on .38
September 23, 2015
It gets better: Avid AMA linking CHANGES the timecode of our media. We can't finish any scenes because NO MATCHING TIMECODE. Avid = SNAFU.

I currently have 2 hours and 1 minute of footage assembled and I'm still not thru it all. Dang, it's a long movie.
December 5, 2015
Jana got her visa! She's coming back in January.
[HUUUUUGE sigh of relief goes here]
[HUUUUUGE sigh of relief goes here]
December 7, 2015
Y'know, now that I think about it, ALL our technical problems started when she left. She was our glücksbringer!
December 7, 2015
That was a 'Feel Good' day of cutting. Why can't they all be that easy? Oh, right… I just remembered what the budget was on this puppy.
December 10, 2015
PowerUser is now denying everything he told me on the phone. The level of backdoor politics he claims to get from Avid supporters is unreal.
December 11, 2015
The transmission on "Dave's car" died a dog's death yesterday. Not. Good. For. Pick. Ups. (Or my wallet.)
December 15, 2015
Some scenes take a full day to assemble! Clearly, the director is an idiot. How much longer do I gotta be locked in editing with this clown?
December 17, 2015
The holidays are overtaking me; less and less is getting done.
*sigh*
So close...
*sigh*
So close...
December 20, 2015
Xmas parties last night, xmas parties tonight... I'm not getting work done today.
December 21, 2015
Okay, I got a little work done today. I had to cut a scene in two separate sessions but somethings better than nothing, right?
December 23, 2015
I missed the anniversary by 5 days, but we started filming insert shots for CTT this time last year.
December 25, 2015

December 25, 2015
Sorry, scene 93-94, but I really fubarred you up. It's my first time directing, please forgive me.
December 26, 2015
Found some forgotten production audio on my old iPhone 5s that we used as a portable mic. This show is one poodle short of a clown car.
December 27, 2015
Huh. Turns out we reshot that scene anyway and I don't need that audio.
Winning!
Winning!
December 27, 2015
I got a little verklempt cutting scene 203 today. Was it because of brilliant execution or my delusion? Only time will tell.
December 28, 2015
Hells bells, the last scene in the movie is the last to be assembled. Houston, we have an rough cut!
December 29, 2015
Oh, and I finally called Avid today about my tech issues. They didn't seem happy about that debacle. Promised to call back after New Years.
December 29, 2015
IT'S ALIVE! Here's 2h21m of AN ASSEMBLY. And only 6 mos late. Putting it into render… NOW.
December 30, 2015
And it crashed overnight. Back to one.
January 1, 2016
Render complete! Unfortunately, I can't watch it with the kids around.
*grumble*
I've waited this long, what's another 16 hours?
*grumble*
I've waited this long, what's another 16 hours?

Render complete! Unfortunately, I can't watch it with the kids around. *grumble* I like where it's parked, though.
January 1, 2016
OMG we just finished watching the assembly and… IT'S NOT A DISASTER! Trying not to cry now…
*sniff*
*sniff*
January 2, 2016
Lots of work ahead; it's long and clunky, but there IS a movie in there. Maybe even a good one!

Holiday’s over, the kids are back in school; time to roll up my sleeves and get back to work. Right after I cut that xmas tree in half…
January 7, 2016
A+ day of cutting. It’s feeling good.
January 7, 2016
My first pass on reel one and I lost five minutes. Suh-weet.
January 8, 2016
Look what arrived: A non-working 1:1 iPhone 6 display model for insert shots. Love me some eBay.
January 9, 2016

January 11, 2016
10:19 PM and our MIA lead just texted me: She’s back in LA. Welcome home, Jana!
January 18, 2016
Down for a day or two making the rent. Cutting CTT in the slivers of downtime.
January 20, 2016
Seven f’n days lost to this sizzle reel job. Note to self: STOP WORKING FOR COKEHEADS.
January 28, 2016
COKEHEADS!!!!!!!! 😖
February 1, 2016
Okay, I got some time in cutting today. Let’s just call it being On A Roll now, shall we?
February 2, 2016
Man, the music is gonna make or break this last scene. Makes it hard to cut.
February 3, 2016
Man, the music is gonna make or break this last scene. Makes it hard to cut. Don’t let me down, Mr. Composer!
February 3, 2016
The first cut is complete! I’ll render it tomorrow.
February 3, 2016
“Core Consistency Error”
Grrr….
Can I just get a Goddamn cut out, Avid?
Grrr….
Can I just get a Goddamn cut out, Avid?
February 4, 2016
FACT: It’s been 38 days since Avid Burbank said they would call me back. They haven’t.
February 5, 2016
Apparently, Jana called & left a voicemail 5 days ago & I just found it. All because I've had my head spinning from... COKEHEADS!!!!!!!! 😖
February 5, 2016
Watched the 1st cut and, “Sayonara, 21m 30 sec!” We didn’t miss you at all. Here’s a big fat kiss goodbye: *Muwah!*
February 6, 2016
Fair warning: I’ve got my eye on another 15 min, Cut B.

Sorry scenes 103 thru 121, I wish you’d had a better director. Luckily, you have a better editor. Word.
February 8, 2016
Cut B going into render… NOW.
February 10, 2016
Screened for the composer: I’ve been in an edit bubble so long it feels strange to have somebody LIKE the movie. Hollywood Dysfunction 101!
February 11, 2016
This is the hand Ben Hicks touched ScarJo with!
February 11, 2016
OMG we just finished having our leads over for dinner (8 weeks shy of our anniversary!) and forgot to take a picture! Stupido!
February 12, 2016
So we screened for three people yesterday & they were ENTHUSIASTIC. Okay, okay... Deep breaths... Let's not let it go to our heads now. 😅
February 12, 2016
Was asked to move "Dave's Car" as far away from the Christopher Kennedy Compound as possible. Sorry we're not posh enough, Palm Springs!
February 14, 2016

February 16, 2016
Going thru the movie, scene by scene, listing every loop line, graphic, vfx, and pick up shot we need is MIND NUMBING.
February 16, 2016
inally finished listing all the stuff still to be done. My brain is exploding in … 3… 2.. 1…

February 19, 2016
Just fired off a buncha emails begging for looping favors. Not sayin’ we’re out of money, but I can see the town of ‘Broke Ass’ from here.
February 19, 2016
We are moving on with another composer. It's not his fault. The tone of “Clocking The T” is very difficult to convey. *sigh*
February 21, 2016
Who are all these people on Entertainment Tonight who keep saying, "We had so much fun!," making their movies?
Fuckers.
Fuckers.
February 21, 2016
FACT: It has been 55 days since Avid Burbank said they would call me back.
February 21, 2016
Down for a few days on a side gig making money. Pick Ups budget, here we come!
February 23, 2016
Holy cow, remember PowerUser? Well, that whole debacle went full batshit today. H’wood never ceases to amaze with The Crazy. And the lying.
February 28, 2016
FACT: Going full batshit got ANOTHER person at Avid to email me back… 63 days later.
March 1, 2016
Note to self: Go full batshit more, reason doesn’t work.
March 1, 2016
Looping scripts and media out the door.
March 3, 2016
Finished writing a first pass on new scene A155. We’ll see how much I like it tomorrow…
March 3, 2016
Sooo sick of emails defending incompetence, duplicity, and laziness because, in effect, "He's my best friend."
So much ‘Ugh.’ So much Avid.
So much ‘Ugh.’ So much Avid.
March 4, 2016
More notes.

Avid’s answer: Change the narrative of this debacle to make ME the problem. Christ, I’m really starting to think these people are crazy.

March 17, 2016
The cut is looking good. We have killed a LOT of darlings.
March 18, 2016
While watching my Mac transcode media for another job, I spent the day making a fake dating website for CTT. Photoshop, for the win!
March 20, 2016
Looping, Day 6: Somebody got a role playing a soldier.
March 22, 2016
Our schedules went Full Nutjob for both Jana and I, so we had to bump tomorrow's looping into next week. *grumble* I hate delays...
March 23, 2016
See you at the premiere!.... in 2027. 😖
March 23, 2016
Squeezing in (almost) a day of cutting loops while my day job is out to the client. Thanks Jesus, for buying me some time with Good Friday!
March 25, 2016
All caught up on the loops I have. No celebration but a deep breath; we still have more to record. Making’ movies ain’t a cake walk.
March 26, 2016
Got a new cue from the composer today. So lovely.
March 27, 2016
Noooot sure I’m digging this graphic design.

Somebody took Candace's glow pen. Grrrr.... It's a prop, people!

Yay! The glow pen is back. Thanks, Amazon Prime!

Pro Tip: It's impossible to give music notes on cel, regarding nuance & emotion, when the composer has only one bar on his phone. Truth!
April 4, 2016
Last year at this time I was setting up camera & lights for the first shot of principal photography, scene 6A-1.

Thought we’d be finished by now.

April 12, 2016
I haven’t touched CTT in days. Fucking side jobs.
April 6, 2016
At Chantal's series screening. She produced & shot 8 episodes since we wrapped last year. #mustgetmyassingear
April 16, 2016
Bumped Jana's looping cause she has two auditions across town.
April 19, 2016
Looping, Day 9: And Jana is done with looping.
April 20, 2016
Still have looping left but had to take the blankets off the windows. Was starting to feel like Jean-Baptiste Grenouille in that cave.
April 21, 2016
Job over, back on CTT.
May 3, 2016
Matching our loops to picture sync has taught me a valuable lesson: I should’ve shot the whole movie in German. Much easier than English.

Micro-budget moviemaking means a lack of lawyer usually equals Getting F*cked. Over a table. Sideways. With head punches.
May 14, 2016
I think we’re back on track with the music. Fingers crossed.
May 15, 2016
Annnnnnd we drove off the tracks again. Like the train in “The Fugitive.”
May 17, 2016
Imagine me on my knees begging forgiveness... cause that's what I just did to the first composer we let go.
F*ckin' karma.
F*ckin' karma.
May 17, 2016
nd we’re moving from composer #2 to composer #3, who actually was composer #1. This feels like “Groundhog Day,” but with more tears.
May 18, 2016
Just finished posting the movie for music. Again.
May 18, 2016
40 minutes to cache a non-animated security burn in? Really, New Blue Titler Pro? Really?
May 19, 2016
Why is exporting a cut such a cursed affair? Ugh.
May 20, 2016
Updated to Media Composer 8.5.3 and now all I do is crash out to SFPlayConsumer::Execute TIMEOUT.

1/5 Hey Avid, when u responded to my support call last week with a single email query did that qualify as '24 hour response' time? #fuckavid
May 29, 2016
2/5 Does Avid really need 7 1/2 days(!) before emailing for more information regarding my ‘SFPlayConsumer::Execute TIMEOUT’ issue? #fuckavid
May 29, 2016
3/5 Has Avid institutionalized back-burning support tickets so the customer must solve their own problem? #fuckavid
May 29, 2016

I never thought I'd be happy for Sports Chalet to go under but I got pick ups, right? $150 smackeroos. Sweet!
June 4, 2016
Shoppin' fer pick ups. Need a shelf to stand in for a desk CU. Lucky for me there are $6 ones in clearance!
June 7, 2016
Location scouting = A LOT of walking.

For insert shots only, I swear.

Shooting menu pictures is one way we pay for our locations.

After a whole day of painful VFX work it occurred to me that nobody is gonna give a shit about this movie.

Good day of editing today. Gooooood day.

Okay scene 97, I wouldn’t say I beat you but we both have bloody noses now.

Lettin' Dave's car dirtify again for pick ups (At least, that's what I tell myself).

Pick ups on the river for scene 36.

Need a good WS of LA? Radio Hill for the win, people. Radio Hill.
July 2, 2016
Back to the river for pick ups. Cracked my head on a branch so hard I saw stars.
July 3, 2016
Here’s an immutable law of pick ups: Whatever you need is back where you just were.
July 4, 2016
I had to wear my wife’s clothes to fake this shot. Well, not wear exactly, more like stretch the hell out.
July 5, 2016
'June Gloom' in July is really kickin' my keister for a dawn wide shot lately.
July 6, 2016
Annnnnd I just lost my glasses. All these pop off shots are killing me.
July 6, 2016
While I’m waiting on LensCrafters I’ve decided that f11 is my new best friend on all pick ups shots henceforth.
July 8, 2016
Zodiacal Light Studios? Maybe.
July 8, 2016
Shooting at Griffith Park is like shooting in a tin of sardines. Lots and lots of people there.
July 9, 2016
Dang, I’m running out of hard drive space. How’d that happen? Shooting in RAW, that’s what happened.
July 9, 2016
That was a BUSY week.
July 9, 2016
Airsoft or Nerf? Hmm....
July 14, 2016
Just saw Jana in "Almost, Maine" @ Noisy Nest. I personally took a header onstage in a play I'm not acting in. It's a long story, don't ask.
July 15, 2016
Ben dropped off his Dave props and showed off his 'Hiking Accident Face.' Yikes. Good thing pick ups are next month!
July 17, 2016
My composer doesn't want me to listen to cues on earbuds. Let's not be precious, dude--This movie is gonna premiere on an iPhone. Come on.
July 20, 2016
Progress on the record player front: They finally emailed back! We may be able to return the thing yet.
July 26, 2016
Wait... there's a "Triple Helix" comic that came out since I started writing 3 years ago?!?!? Fuuuuuuck.
July 28, 2016
Started writing CTT in Celtx, then moved to WriterDuet (thumbs up!) and just used the Fade In app to thumb new scenes on a car trip. Handy!

Spent the morning in Scenechronize breaking down scenes for the pick ups. Guess I’ll be filming ‘for real’ again. *gulp*

Seriously, you’re trying to get fired, right?
August 12, 2016
Spent the day shooting video storyboards of our movie-in-the-movie scenes with… my kids! Once cut, we’ll know EXACTLY what we need to film.
August 12, 2016
Yes? No? Maybe. Location scouting is hard.
August 14, 2016
Just hired our Trevor, Steve, and Candace's Mom. Win+Win+Win=WIN!

Nardeep Khurmi is Trevor.
August 21, 2016
The pick ups payroll is for reals.
August 22, 2016
Two days of moving media so I can free up 1.5 terabytes. It's equal parts intense concentration and mind numbing booooooredom.
August 23, 2016
Everything's cut in and the video storyboards are an epic level of embarrassing. Time to render out a cut!
August 26, 2016
A little grading, a pinch of noise reduction and we’ll transcode this puppy to 1080p.
August 27, 2016
Have I been busy this week? YES. So much so that I forgot to confirm shooting dates next week with Jana & Ben. I’m an IDIOT. Time to resked.
August 27, 2016
Flipping my shoot days X's out my turnaround. I'm locked into actor availability, so now I'm pushing two days into three.
Shit.
Shit.
August 27, 2016

August 27, 2016
Just finished watching Cut D and I'm not sure what to think. Why can't it just be brilliant already? Finessing is tiresome already.
August 28, 2016
After budgeting the next set of pick ups the obvious is obvious: I may finally be running out of money.
August 28, 2016
We just screened the movie to the leads for the first time.

Day 42. Staggered the calls so everybody worked their 9 hrs. except us. We went 14. Brutal.

Man, we had a good experience with our payroll company before, but now we're in pick ups and our people aren't gettin' PAID. Grrr...
September 12, 2016
All dang day designing webpage graphics for inserts. I think my brain has melted
September 12, 2016
Just got off the phone after sticking my foot up the ass of our payroll company. ‘Looking into it’ is not ‘issuing checks.’ Not. Happy.
September 14, 2016
ABS just tried insinuating that it’s partly our fault because their Sharefile system didn’t auto-alert them. WTF?
September 14, 2016
Micro-budget filmmaking gets nooooooo respect.
September 14, 2016
Okay, ABS made good. And checks are in the mail. They apologized to our people. They’re cool. We’re cool. It’s all good.

I think composer #3 just revealed themself. It feels like offering a squirrel at the park part of my sandwich—Don’t make sudden moves.
September 16, 2016
Cut E = More notes
September 18, 2016
Just offered the job to composer #3... but we'll only accept his 'yes' after he sleeps on it. Let's not rush into this blindly. Please.
September 18, 2016
This is what rendering out a cut looks like.
September 19, 2016
Composer #3 says.... Yes!
September 19, 2016
Hmm… I think I may have found a killer tune for the ending on SoundCloud. I wrote the artist about licensing it. Stay tuned…
September 23, 2016
Just signed a contract with Composer #3. I’m thinking Good Thoughts.

It’s official: I gave up. After a year and a half of cutting without temp music I am at the Avid cutting in temp music. Fuck.

1/4 Been trying to book ‘Dave’s Office’ again for days now. No email response, but we finally chased down the new site rep on the phone…
October 12, 2016
2/4 She told us it was gonna be $1,000 for one hour of shooting. We said that was waaaaay more than we paid last year…
October 12, 2016

‘Deliverables’ are a miserable “I Love Lucy” assembly line (ask your parents) of what look like chocolate candies but are actually emoji turds. It’s a black rain cloud on a mom & pop shop movie like ours. Wish we had a staff. *groan*

Bonus shots. No, really.

If ever there was a metaphor for mankind’s cruelty to one another it is the absolute pigfuck that the ‘standards’ for closed captions have mutated into. It’s a f’n text file people, but it’s got me ready to eat a .38 Special.

My accountant wants to know if I can just ‘give up’ on this movie.

Thanks Adobe for ripping Dolby encoding out of Creative Cloud, even the apps I paid for. You have made my life a LIVING HELL

We just signed with Indie Rights to distribute our film. So this long national nightmare called “Clocking The T” will soon be over. Long story short: Coming soon to theaters, disc, and streaming near you!

I have to make the end credits font thicker for the DVD release because it’s unreadable when you crunch it down to 720x480 Howdy Doody quality. Ugh.

I can’t believe I’m making repairs to this mix *again.*

And in the spirit of all things CTT, we missed our delivery date, which was today.

Ugh.

Yes, we are still *alive*. We’ve been knee deep in legal fixin’s and squirreling enough toilet paper to last the summer. But believe me when I tell you IT'S COMING SOON, even if it sounds like a threat.

In the meantime, check out our award winning singer-songwriter for the film, @zdavidmusic at @zackdavidmusic on IG, Fridays, 6-8PM, for a kick ass live concert. It's free, awesome and there ain’t no two drink minimum!

My computer just chimed to tell me it’s our anniversary. Has it really been *seven years* since I started writing CTT? Seems less painful than the 2,556 days, 11 hours, 43 minutes, and 14 seconds that our first Twitter post is telling me. *CRY*
November 28, 2019
Holy hell, after 3 months of legal fixes I'm *finally* rendering the feature master. Will this movie *ever end?* Stay tuned.

Today is the one year anniversary of signing with Indie Rights and I’m still trying to unfuck this mix. Do we even *have* a distribution deal anymore? Ugh. On the bright side... ah, I can’t even f’n tweet it.

A re-recording engineer just reviewed our mix and emailed, “The problem is that it is a shitty mix.”
Yup. Not much help, but, yup.

The new @googledrive app spontaneously deleted 1.8TB of my data. If I didn’t have a mirrored backup much of the show would be lost. Thanks for all your offshore ‘tech support’ that does nothing @Google So glad my years of subscription pay for *that*.

It’s been awhile, but we’re still alive. What’s been going on, you ask? Well, you can read about our troubles here: https://bit.ly/3yDiaSJ
August 21, 2024
Things have changed since we last posted. I don’t even know what’s going on around this site. We’re getting the timeline from here up & running at the film’s website & mirroring on at The Other Place. This is our Making Of so it’ll be archived. Stay tuned!
August 21, 2024
But we are officially distributed by Filmhub now and In Release, for reals. No, really. “Clocking” should be streaming within the coming weeks.

If you need a reminder, here’s the trailer:

Heads up, we’ve been picked up by Tubi, YouTube Movies, Google TV, and Amazon Prime. It’s a race to see who streams it first.
September 25, 2024
Looks like Amazon won.

No Adobe, I do not need constant popups in Photoshop asking me if I want to try Generative Fill cluttering my work where I’m trying to focus. You know what I want? I want you to F*ck off. Can you do that? That’d be peachy. Mmm’kay?

You know, there’s very little ‘art’ involved with filmmaking. For all the lofty goals you spend most of your time dealing with a lot of shitheads. It’s demoralizing.

Screening the Blu-ray check disc. Watching this movie for the millionth time is a wooden club to the baby seal of my soul. 😩

The astroturfing smear campaign in the recent news is equal parts horrifying and making me think back on all the people who read the “Clocking The T” script and told us that our astroturfer central character was fanciful and not realistic.

My David Lynch Story: At 1 hr 35 min 46 sec into “Clocking The T” you’ll see Candace weighing brands of bacon, trying to decide which to buy. This is exactly what I saw Lynch doing at 11pm one Friday night at the Ralph’s near my apartment in the 90s. 1/2

I stopped three feet from him and thought to say something but realized *This Is The Perfect David Lynch Moment*, it wouldn’t get better than this. So I left and it’s still a mystery whether he went with Oscar Meyer or Farmer John. RIP David Lynch. 2/2
