I have no idea why you would want to read all these Twitter posts, but this is the blow by blow of what's been happening. I don't have time to write on the blog, but I've been trying to track progress by these little status updates. If you're hardcore into knowing what's been going on, feel free to read. We're almost done with the new short film, so that will be something legit to post soon. Sorry for the lack of posts - time's escaping. 120ish days until it's all over!
