Velvet Lace has crashed and burned. What remains is a smoking pile of twisted metal, rubber and gnarled dreams. A small child gently weeps over the remains of a chincy Bobble head Chihuahua that lays decapitated where the backseat once was. IN SHORT that means that I ran out of time and never finisehd the project. It started as an hour and a half musical/ dance film with 3 acts, was cut to a single act musical/dance, was cut to a single scene of dialogue and driving and was further cut to a poorly constructed 15 minute making of, or destruction of, lovingly title "Crushed Velvet". Suffice it to say that very little was accomplished. Nick created some short short rough composites and I edited together pieces of a sword fight that wasn't even in the script. This was all slopped together with a quick rundown of what was done for the project (script and costume wise) and the whole deal was burned onto a DVD, which we spent about 36 straight hours making, and handed in to the Teach while I was on an airplane to Europe. Almost two days without sleep for a fairly worthless interpretation of what once was, and what may someday still be, a radical concept. If you'd like to witness this trainwreck in motion you can view "Crushed Velvet" streaming on our site. Thanks for keeping tabs on the production, and hopefully, someday this monstrous undertaking will be undertaken. Until then Nick and I will jump from one overly complicated film idea to the next until one of us gets a real job and devotes his life to buying a lovely house with a rented family, thus effectively destroying our partnership and rendering the other person, who will still be clinging to dreams of cinematic glory like the left breast of a friendly Hooters waitress, drunk, homeless and wallowing in the gutter.
