• I wish It was Sunday…’cause that’s my Funday

  January 3rd, 2010

  Yes, in the words of The Bangles (actiually, Prince… who knew?) from now on Sunday will be my Funday, where anything goes. I might catch up on all the Facebook messages I compiled from Social Saturdays, perhaps I’ll take the Twitter suggestion that it should be Sleep Sunday, or maybe it’ll be a day like today.

  Sunday is the perfect day for sorting through those all-important emails and newsletters that I’ve been putting off all week, only to get caught in a web of web-links and websites. And that’s basically what my morning looked liked.

  Shortly upon waking I checked for new Twitter messages.  I found this:

  

  Does this ever happen to you? Where you have no idea what the person is referring to? Especially first thing on a Sunday morning?

  Wiping the sleep from my eyes, the previous night’s twittering activities suddenly dawned on me…
  I befriended one of Raindance’s 10 Filmmakers on Twitter, David Bruckner (dir. of  The Signal) and in response to his:

  

  I responded (referring to Fan Fridays):

  

  Always encouraged by Twitter participation, I thought I would check out his website, where I found a wealth of production stills from his latest projects. His site has some great collaborators and the rest of the late morning/early afternoon I’ve been caught in the web.  Below are some of the fantastic sites I’ve fallen pray to:

  Workbook Project (earlier introduced to me by my editor) where I saw an interesting article about…
  Christine Vachon and Killer Films’ new online collaborative project, which lead me to…
  Killer Films’ page on Massify, a cool website for filmmakers where I found…
  Massify on Twitter, full of great resources for filmmakers, which led me back to…
  Massify and the first part of Jon Reiss’ self-distribution blog (Parts 2, 3, 4 make for fast, insightful reading)

  I got a refill of my new fancy ineeka organic Ma-Chai tea acquired over the holidays (I love the Brew-Tache‘, but wish they used less packaging) to prepare for another round of web slinging…

  Deeply interested in all things self-distribution, I checked out Jon Reiss’ Twitter, where somehow I found myself full circle and back on…
  David Bruckner’s Twitter and found this hilarious review of A Phantom Menace:

  There are seven parts to this review and many more videos to fill up your Sunday over at Red Letter Media. As for me, I’m off to play with my recent Christmas pressie, Band Hero.

  Happy Funday Sunday everyone!
