The one-one-thousandth second

My film making career has mainly been centered around CGI, writing, and conceptual drawing, as we (drawnstories studios) are only in pre production of our first film, flick really. But today was different, I became an associate producer of an I-max film. Well actually my Mom was the associate producer but put my name on it instead in the way that she likes to live vicariously through me.
So there is this project where a movie of twentyfour frames will show in I-max, for one second. Now there's very, very brief nudity involved here so don't be bringing the kids to this flick. These twenty four frames are twelve gigantic paintings made in one night, painted by hundreds of artists, shown twice. And the point is to get as many people involved as possible by selling credits in the movie for what ever money people will donate. As of now the credits will last forty minutes. Man I'm not waiting through forty minutes of names. Just to see mine next to Christina Ricci's on a big screen.
Oh well it all goes to a good cause, that is to say the money goes to a women's charity. What about starving children in India, or babies with aids in Africa, better yet Iraqi freedom fighters. No I can even top that, what about an entire organization created to educate our president about the "fundamental nature of terrorism". Unfortunate that dubbya learned that from his daddy. Not that I don't support women's right or anything (I was raised by a young woman going through college) just that I feel that there are bigger thing to give money to. My Moms one dollar could have gone to natives of these here Americas or better yet, the politicians that want them to pay taxes on their casinos, maybe they'd stop then.
I think that now I am officially off topic, but I will have lots of time in the future to write so....
-peace out
