Na zdorov'ya!

let me begin by apologizing for my lack of research. apparently, the title of my last entry was the polish version of the word. this new entry title is the correct, ukrainian version of the word(albeit old ukrainian as the new ukrainian way to say this is: budmo!). whatever.

we started shooting this past wednesday evening, stealing shots on sunset boulevard during rush hour driving 5mph with our hazards on in the middle of the street. fittingly it was right in front of the cinematographers guild building. poor patrick had to ride around on a children's bicycle in a bathrobe while holding a rather impressively clumsy suitcase. funny thing was, nobody gave a fuck! we also rented a hotel room in burbank where we spent the entire thursday shooting patrick in a tub full of dirty water. he was way too willing to sit in that tub of muck all day. we also filmed a spaghetti fight on the bed between patrick and kristina while blasting tom waits' "big in japan" at maximum volume. again, nobody gave a fuck! the last day of the shoot was out at point dume in malibu. this time we had permits but we ended up chasing the sun all day. i was very stressed and unfortunately was curt with a lot of people but in the end we got everything we needed to finish the film. that's not to say we got exactly what we wanted, but we did find a way to pull it all together.

i would like to thank all the people who helped us on this project for payment way below their talents. it's great when people come together for the common good. also i have to thank patrick stump and kristina klebe for putting up with my ridiculous demands on this project. i've never seen two people eat that much spaghetti in one sitting. thanks for believing in me.

patrick and i are soon going to commence writing music for this piece. as we are both busy boys, there is no specific end date on the horizon. i will try and leak a few photos to the internet so you all can see what we're trying to do and perhaps even say, "what the fuck?"

March 15, 2008 – Justin Pierre and Patrick Stump collaboration?!? Relax, there's no singing

So if anybody lives in Hollywood they may have seen a strange little man riding a yellow bicycle in a blue bathrobe down Sunset the other day. Even though that isn't really that strange in a place like Hollywood, I felt really odd having to be that strange little man. Odder still when someone shouted "Fall Out Boy Sucks!" out a car window...meaning that someone now thinks that I hang out on the street in a bathrobe and ride my bike. I was actually shooting some scenes for a new short film written and directed by my good friend Justin Pierre. The working title is Nostrovia but don't quote me on that. Anyway, I'm really stoked and lucky to have been a part of it cause Justin's a mad scientist behind a camera. I'll let you know what comes of it and hopefully we do more of these.

From the Motion City Soundtrack blog:

get this: Na Zdrowie!

that is the working title for a new short film collaboration between myself and a few friends. Shane nelson(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0625738/)will be producing. I wrote the script and will be directing. kristina klebe(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1640351/)will be acting in it. As well as patrick stump(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2079998/). notice how i am the only one not on imdb. sad face. without going into too much detail i will tell you this: the story involves a down on his luck businessman and a ukranian maid that is actually a doctor. yeah. that doesn't tell you much. but it will be fantastical when completed.
