-God, I'm just... I'm almost impossibly tired of women complaining constantly about a dude, only to end up being in a relationship with that guy. “You don't understand how mean he is...” Months later it is the equivalent to, “This is my boyfriend...” gah!

-Congratulations...

-Excuse me?

-Congratulations.

-What?

-You have actually grown up some. Along the way in life, there are moments of becoming an adult... Your view there was one of them... here, have some chocolate.

-Oh, um, thanks?

-You are welcome.

-Huh... I didn't realize life worked that way... interesting.

-Now put the chocolate back.

-Excuse me?

-PUT THE CHOCOLATE BACK IN THE BAG MAN!

-Jesus fine take it! Wow, what the crap?!

-Congratulations... you have learned another lesson in life...

-Dude, this is weird.

-Please, take a chocolate as a reward.

-I don't want to.

-Good... another life lesson!  Here, have a chocolate.

-Um.

-TAKE THE CHOCOLATE, DUDE!

-FINE!  Jesus!

-PUT IT BACK!

That being said, I had given in to a previous commitment to write for StumbleMuse Productions, and James Evan Wade... (otherwise I'd probably have backed out, but your word is bond...)  So... that being said, here is The Brownward Spiral... And more will come... I am going to get together with Will soon to do more writing, and more sketches, and we'll be making a comeback... and this time... we have access to a whole crew.

 

This years 48 Hour Film Fest, Greensboro... Requirements:

Character: Don or Donna Hastert

Occupation: Plumber

Prop: Crayons

Line: "Where Did You Go?"

A segment of it was featured on Showtime's This American Life with Ira Glass, but what they showed was a mere taste of what this film entails, a completely amazing story, and amazing photography.

]]>The Full Experiment Documents B-Dhttp://www.neurosisnine.com/blog/2011/4/23/the-full-experiment-documents-b-d.htmlMatt2011-04-23T23:50:14Z2011-04-23T23:50:14ZHere they are, finally written... Parts B-D of the Experimental short... The story actually roughly follows the theme of Experiment A, which can be seen below.  Once completed the project will be more than likely under 15 minutes, and will probably be live action.  I will be starting storyboarding soon, and be discussing with Will the possibility on how to even do some of the scenes.  Thanks again Neurosisnine Army for being patient.  There will be light.

]]>Experiment Ahttp://www.neurosisnine.com/blog/2011/3/25/experiment-a.htmlMatt2011-03-25T05:01:53Z2011-03-25T05:01:53ZThis 50 second clip is the start of a short project of mine...  Most of you have probably seen it by now, but I want to go ahead and post it here as well, and I want to make sure I put a little write up here, so you know what you are seeing.

Basically, this project is going to have four sections.  A, B, C, and D...  Together they will equal one full story.  The opening, below, will possibly change by the time the full project is done, (and if you do enjoy the music on here, please visit my brother's band's site, here, Maple Stave) considering that it was A) just a test, and B) is involved with a project that is consistently changing.  

We haven't filmed in awhile, and this is do in part to being my fault really.  I have been swamped with stress, trying to find ways to make money, so I can keep living where I do, etc.  I have also, as you will probably be able to tell from the short below, been through an event that made me feel, well, that this should be told.  I'd like to take a quick sec to thank a few people.

Ernesto Verdejo: For being like a brother to me, and helping talk me through some bad times.

Jessika Ziglar: For doing the exact same!  I seriously couldn't have gotten this far along without the help of both of them.

Andrew Klaus: For helping push me to just go ahead and film the damn thing.

And Will Milosky:  For being patient with me.  We will be back to filming something different soon.

But for now, enjoy 50 seconds, Part A, of the full experimental short, still untitled.
