If we had an aspiring filmmaker, it would be interesting to have a
"behind the scenes" underground film done sortof to the tune of a
behind the scenes rock star biography.  Lots of candid interviews,
following people on their way to a meeting, bar conversation
snippets.. lots of filming in grainy black and white..  =)


Btw, gmail now allows us to edit the subject.  Yay!
