Movie Geek has left the building.

For what was supposed to just be a simple workshop production, Movie Geek ended up being the most stressful theatre experience I can remember... I am steadfast in my determination to never again ever direct a play that incorporates such tech-heavy elements. This is why I went to theatre school and not film school. With theatre, you need humans and a place to put them.* Film needs all this electricity and whatnot. And cables. And something the tech guys called "firewire."**

So I will remain steadfast. Steadfast, of course, until I'm offered the chance to direct another show. Or remount this one. Or go to film school.

I do not believe this will be the end for Movie Geek. Dylan is planning on applying to Fringe Festivals next year, and I've encouraged him to apply it to Edinburgh. Mostly because I want to go spend next summer in Scotland. Also, of course, because it will be a good venue for him to get his work seen by an audience that will likely approve. Not that, like, NYC, Minneapolis, and San Francisco would be bad.

*Generally speaking.
** I do actually know what firewire is, and I'd thank the white devil to keep his whiskey to himself.
