Cool, looking forward to hearing about it! :)
An update, more about Moderngrumble — keep those production notes coming, Toby! :D
From the latest ModernGrumble Production Note today, by Toby Venable
If you are working with ambiguity however there are no expectations to subvert, the entire notion of ambiguity is a subversion of the identifiable. Applying ambiguity to a genre film then is at once a neutering of the power or shorthand that comes with genre expectations and the ultimate subversion or revising of genre. Or so my thinking leads me to believe this morning as I write this. These are thoughts on a method and are ever changing. I share them here in an effort to create dialogue. Please feel free to disagree, argue, challenge and offer alternatives or if so inclined list some of your favorite ambiguous films or moments. Extra points if it’s genre cinema!
For all of our supporters this holiday season, a special Christmas day only screening of Modergrumble’s DP, Joriah Goad’s latest short masterpiece, The LIfe Infinato.
Witness the vision of a poet. Experience the Infinite.

Yo guys,
this campaign is now just over half-way there, so c’mon and help it achieve it’s easily reachable goal. If every participant of the Mubi User’s Top 20 gave $10, or the price of a movie ticket in an average sized city, that would take care of half of what remains to be filled. That’s really not much. So pitch in.

Super!! :D
…And so realizing that I was not interested in shooting commercials or music videos but in finding the most effective means for expressing myself, I decided to go it alone, live and experience life so as to evenutally realize my own, personal cinema on my own terms.
…as Tarkovsky says: “The aim of art is to prepare a person for death, to plough and harrow his soul, rendering it capable of turning it to "good…":http://mubi.com/garage/posts/moderngrumble-a-crowdfunding-journey-sculpting-in-time
LAST chance to contribute, please think about helping out!
I’ve chipped in, O. Am anticipating my Arkansas souvenir perks!
Thank all of you for your support this last month, it’s been a great, maddening, stressful, fantastic experience and I am so glad that I finally invited everyone into my own private world and even more glad to have received so much interest and support from my fellow Mubians!
Jen you are a tireless champion of not only mine but every filmmaker seeking to have their voice heard and you should be worshipped for that! I hope all of you have a tremendous night and start the New Years with a renewed sense of passion and focus for your own endeavors!
Happy New Years!!!
Z. — Fabulous! HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D
Toby — it’s the least I can do, and I’m always happy to help! May 2012 bring ModernGrumble to life and then some! HAPPY NEW YEAR, HUG! :)
(I see the numerous exclamation points are making my post above deafening… no matter… lol)

Hi All,
Just putting a good word out there for the above film — if you like horror, think about supporting it! Toby Venable and Joriah Goad both have work in Garage, so they are part of the Mubi community.
Here it is on IndieGoGo.
