Here's an article at Variety.com that gives a pretty positive revew of "Things To Do", that movie my brother and his friends made last year. The film is currently competing at the Slamdance Film Festival in Utah, which I mentioned a few days ago.
I noticed the Variety website might have some formatting issues (the article doesn't start until halfway down the page in Firefox 1.5).
I came across Jamie's blog after he left a comment on my SVG Solitaire post. Apparently he's been a little busy with SVG too. If you've got 10 minutes and the Firefox 1.5 browser, why not go try a game of Worm SVG.
Great work! Feature Requests:
My record (after 3 tries) was 200 points.
I was going over the Game Developer's Conference schedule for 2006 and came across this session entitled "Collada for the PlayStation3".

My brother, Eric, was Director of Photography on the film "Things To Do", directed by Ted Bezaire and starring Mike Stasko. The film was shot in Windsor over last year and I know my brother and his colleagues have been working their collective butts off on it. The film will be competing at the Slamdance Film Festival which starts today. The Slamdance Festival takes place at the same time and locale as the Sundance Film Festival but is reserved for "first time filmmakers" only.
He flew out to Utah from Windsor very early this morning, where he'll be staying at a rented condo with Ted, Mike and others for the week. I'm sure they'll be networking scripts and whatnot while down there too. What an exciting time for them!
You can see some photos and a trailer of the movie at their official website, though I had to download and install the latest version of Quicktime to get the video to play. I'm really impressed with the trailer, it seems to have that wistful quality of a a good Wes Anderson film
I'm really excited for them, I hope they win. Send your good mojo his way. Too bad they're not blogging the experience...
I came across David Bellot's SVG cards awhile back and thought it would be cool to put together a simple online card game in SVG. Read the rest of this entry ...
