FILM

I popped in to 2XX to spruik The Slimer Sessions on LocalNLive this afternoon.  I brought Leon in some Bluffhearts – he played Poverty Line, and we chatted about that as well.

On after me were Finnigan & Brother – I managed to catch most of it driving home.  Theirs is heady stuff – makes me feel cool and potent, and fills me with a desire to both pick flowers and pick fights.

I recently tasked the prop master for my b&w short film KITHARA to make a copy of Cesare’s knife from The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari.

And so he did!

To say I’m pleased would be an understatement.

The idea (while not made explicit in KITHARA) is that it’s the same knife – that the films take place in a shared universe.   Ultimately, I guess that means they are both figments of Francis’ imagination, a la St. Elsewhere.

More on KITHARA soon.
