Go to Dumbworld- New Entertainment- New Media- New Art- A Dumbworld Order– Sacramento, California

“Causeway Ragweed” is a multi-media show featuring works by Sita Seng, Cindy Wilson, Ning Hou, Ryan Seng and Dumbworld Productions.  It is going down, October 11, 2008 from 6-10pm on the corner of 13th and I street in downtown Sacramento.

Sacramento, California, USA – At the beautiful and historic Crest Theatre, August 16th at 7:30pm— Dumbworld is proud to present the short film King of Funk.

King of Funk is a dark comedy starring Hollywood-bound Joey Sab, as the music superstar Chucky Funk (formerly Charles David Smith).  The year is 1973, and Charles finds a magical ring of funk that promises the owner fame and fortune, but for the owner of the ring—beware—you dig?

The film was created (from script to screen) in 10 days as part of the 10X10 Challenge of the Sacramento Film and Music Festival and was shot mostly in Folsom, California.  The 10X10 challenge gives filmmakers a theme (this year it was “rings”), a prop (Dumbworld’s prop was a retro red suitcase) and 10 days to make a film.

The film also stars Folsom native Emily Jones as Scarlett and was produced in conjunction with another Folsom native, Laura Chick of Chick Flick Productions.

As part of the 10X10 film challenge, we wrote, directed, edited and with the help of Chick Flick Productions produced a 10 minute short for the Sacramento Film and Music Festival.  The gist of the story is, it is the early 70′s and a man finds what you could call the magical ring of funk.  The ring brings him fame and fortune, but for the owner of the ring, beware.  The main characters name is Chucky Funk, and above is the album cover for his first record.

The film is showing Saturday August 16th at 7:30 pm at the Crest theatre in downtown Sacramento.  You can go here for more info on the festival.

Last night (or I guess this morning) at around 2am we finished shooting (for the most part) our 10X10 film challenge project– and now I can say for the first time that I have shot my own film (we have done our own music videos, commercials and web videos– and have worked on other people’s films, but this is the first time that we have shot our own project– and a 10X10 at that!).  None of this would have been possible without Laura and Ted from Chick Flick productions, and cast and crew of many, including: Joey Sab, Emily Jones, Chris Uchman-Douglas, Ryan Nelson, Gary Nelson, Ryan Harbert, Daniel Martin and a whole host of others. 

Now a little less than 2 days to whip into an editing frenzy and come up with a finished project.  Good times!

Less than 6 days left for us to finish our short for the 10X10 Challenge.  We have what I feel is a pretty good script for having come up with it in 2 days, and a great cast and crew (none of this would be possible without the hard work and kindness of some very talented people).  We have a pretty hectic schedule planned, but at this point there is no looking back.  If we don’t finish, or come up with a subpar product, we waste the time and energy of a lot of really good people.  No doubts.  No excuses.

And speaking of waste.  A while back, I attended a pretty cool presentation (for my day job) by Scott Abel, on being more efficient with your time.  It was good because he gave lots of ideas on tools to use to be more efficient, most of them online and free. 

Two tools that seemed promising (but I haven’t got a chance try out– see!– guess I am wasting too much time) are “pipes” and iwantsandy.com, an online personal assitant. Don’t be like me–stop wasting time– see his slide show: here
