HAPPY FRIDAY

Or is it? I dunno…

This never-ending barrage of snowstorms is just starting to get old.

I’m alone in Maine, making every effort to connect with ‘my people’. Both in person and online. (If you ever notice me posting a whole lot of stories on my IG, you can sort of assume I’m feeling a bit lonely or melancholy)

I’ve got a winter weekend packed with (in-person) hangs, so fingers crossed this murky meh-ness doesn’t last.

I’m horribly behind on my editing - with shoots from all the way back in early December that I haven’t wrapped up yet.

If you’re one of the models waiting for images, I promise I’ll be getting my shit together and catching up soon.

.

I’ve been listening to a whole lot of The Lion and the Cobra (which just might be my favorite album of all time).

IYKYK

.

I hadn’t listened to it from start to finish in years, and it feels like 42 minutes of emotional perfection that hits the perfect balance of up and down beat.

I spent sooooooo many (hundreds?) of hours in my highschool bedroom with it on repeat.

I’m also hard at work on HEADLOCK (the lil microbudget feature that we plan to start shooting in Maine at the end of the month), and thank god for all the work required there - because that is definitely keeping me on focused and on track.

I’m working on storyboards and gathering props and planning meals and scouting locations and figuring out how much it’s all going to cost…

A lot.

I’m sure I’ll feel better in a few weeks when cast and crew start to arrive in Maine…

But for now…

It’s another grey day.

.

What do you guys do to combat the never-ending melancholy of winter?

Hit reply and let me know.

(include a 🍌 if you want more Julius)

My ‘container theory’ from a few weeks ago is helpful, but even better (at the moment) is putting on Sinéad at full blast and powering through:)

.

As usual thanks for being here.

I really do appreciate it. Until next week…

P.S.

Have you been to ALLTHEDEADBOYS.COM ?

Here’s a little sample of who you can see more of there.

And a whole lot more…

P.S.S.

And if you just wanna give in and embrace the moody winter melancholia (a word I seem to be overusing at the moment, but oh well), you can watch JAMIE MARKS IS DEAD for free on Tubi.
