RE: TV show

This is a "real" correspondence between Matt Vascellaro and me concerning his upcoming T.V. show. I do not know the guy beyond being the boyfriend of my friend, who I believe in fact suggested to Matt that he contact me. She has since described his attitude towards his work as "really, really, really serious," a claim which is evidenced below. I then asked her if it would be okay for me to come to a shoot on psychedelics in a rodent costume. She said no, but I think she meant yes. This might be a little humorous if you know the parties involved and/or are drunk on Mint Juleps.

Hey man,
Since white brown friends is over, we're launching a new TV show next semester. It's going to be a mocumentary about student government and we're planning on turning it into a GISP. Part of that involves finding kids who would be down to help out with the technical stuff. Since Kent Haines and myself want to act in it, we're looking for 3 or 4 technically people to rotate between sound design and working camera stuff. We're going to shoot it with two cameras similtaneously so we need a few people. So the technical people would be part of the GISP and get credit for doing it, and I was wondering if you'd like to do it.

The time commitment is going to be reasonable. The idea of getting several technical people is allow people to rotate. Part of the GISP would be Kent and I "instructing" or rather just telling you guys what we've learned from a year and half of WBF's about technical things ranging from framing, white balance, iris control etc...After that there would be a good amount of creative freedom for the technical people.

I think the idea is that we'd do an episode about ever two weeks. The first week is reheral with the actors and the second week would be about 4 days of filming total ( a day consisting of two hours at most of filming). You would probably only have to be there for 2 or 3 days out of that.

Anyway I hope this is somethign that interest you

MAtt

Dear Matt,

You seersucking son of a dogfart. I would love to be involved in your rotten production, given that your neat description is a button cockeyed and still reeks of last night's cheap booze and a good many socially unspeakables.
I only hope that I can help ruin your show.

ps.
Sorry about all this. Chock it up to American Overconsumption, of the fine literature of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. http://www.derbypost.com/hunter.html, for example. If you're going to destroy your eyesight glaring at an electric diode you might as well do it in style.

What are you up to this summer?
