TOTAL ECLIPSE OF APATHY IN CHINA

WORLD WIDE VIDEOS No Comments »

Time: :50

How’d the total eclipse of the sun go in China July 22? Have a look at this video.

FUNNYFIXX NOTE: The funny part to me is the apparent digital voice-over and the lack of excitement about the eclipse. So it rained, day turned to night, night turned back to day and it was all over but the raining. What else do you expect…an apocalyptic shower of frogs?

IT HAPPENS AT THE COFFEE BEAN!

Time: 3:18

The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is a magical place where all Hollywood connections begin.

Credits: Directed & Choreographed by Jennifer Li Jackson, Written by Deanna Raphael, Music & Sound Design by Marc Jackson, Director of Photography Ben Pluimer, Edited by Jennifer Li Jackson, Cast: Deanna Raphael, Matt McConkey, Michael J. Nice, Drew Pokorny, Ralph Cole, Jr., Paul David, Raychel Espiritu, Jamison Hebert, Angela Kang, Joshua McBride, Antonia Romeo, Daniele Watts. “Coffee Bean Everyday” Lyrics Deanna Raphael, Music by Marc Jackson & Drew Pokorny, Performed by Eric Haskell, Michael J. Nice, Drew Pokorny, Deanna Raphael.

FUNNYFIXX NOTE: When I worked in LA, the Coffee Bean on Beverly Drive was my daily afternoon outting. There was always at least a dozen writers with laptops buzzing at their usual tables, writing their next $5 million spec scripts. Coffee Bean and Starbucks were the official rent-free offices of every writer in town.
Free-range screenwriters living on Ramen noodles and lattes looking for a break. You could write a little and chat with strangers you hoped would turn out to work for Jerry Bruckheimer or Ron Howard or be a William Morris Agent. You could take meetings with indie producers, who also used the ubiquitous coffee havens as headquarters, and lie to each other about making movies together. So when I found this musicial this morning, I had to share it with you. This is really what it’s like to live in Hollywood. Everyday you dream until one day you become famous. Or not.
