For Meesh

I bet that you regret turning down the opportunity to DP Te Whakaahua now! Like, I invited her to meet Dave at the location, and then - after that - she bailed. She wanted to use loads of lights. I rented a single LED light from Rubber Monkey. - I really think you should shoot some of my stories, but I'm not doing any performing. Like, honestly, my brain isn't up to it: Sondheim played his own songs from scores, as there's so many choices that one makes when composing (or writing) that it's really difficult to then switch and 'be' someone else. Plus I hate performing, much like I hate cleaning. It's really not like an obligation of mine to do gigs: I like to sing for personal reasons, and obviously it helps with the salesmanship that I can carry a tune (particularly with new tunes). But yeah: I'm not looking to do any more drag films. I've got a real trans life that I'm living. I wish I'd preserved those AM films, but they're all gone, except for the Transtasia.

Honest Thoughts: The Dog's Tale

Well, obviously it's not a perfect film. I see it as akin to Good For Nothing, in that it sold well outside NZ in an era where that wasn't all that common. To me, Footrot Flats is still part of my ch
