Found Video: Pitching Michel Gondry in Fader

nirvan — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 20:00:31 -0500

a friend spotted this Fader Video that happened to catch my pitch to Michel Gondry (about 3/4 in). This was at Family Books about a month ago. In reality, I was the very last person in line. The line was long, but well worth the wait.

Michel Gondry is now a Producer of The 1 Second Film! I went to his book signing at the Family Bookstore. Here are some pics of me sharing the project with him:

Meeting Kiefer Sutherland... on my bike

nirvan — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 17:45:18 -0400

Yesterday my friend and I were biking through Silverlake on our way to Santa Monica for the Glow art fest. We pulled up to a red light and Kiefer Sutherland was standing right next to us on the corner, about to cross the street. I said "hi." It took him a moment to remember where we had met, until I mentioned that he had given me $600.23 to help Executive Produce The 1 Second Film. Then he smiled and said he had just been telling someone about our film the other day. I thought that was pretty cool :)

It has been about a year since I randomly ran into Kiefer at a restaurant. We caught up briefly with the project and I gave him one of our new fliers that has his photo on it, which was sort of funny. Kiefer is a really nice guy.

Coolio becomes our Producer!

Coolio is now Producer #9,131 of The 1 Second Film!

I was at a dinner party last night and Coolio was there helping to cook. Los Angeles is sort of absurd that way. It was at the house of a friend - and another of our producers :)

Coolio actually has a cooking show called "Cooking with Coolio" on MyDamnChannel. He is a really cool guy and a great story teller with tons of interesting tales to tell. Definitely a nice guest to have at a dinner party and a welcome producer to have on our little movie.

big small breakthroughs

Hi everyone, there have been some dramatic changes going on behind the scenes.

i've been having what feel like major breakthroughs in the next steps of this project. alot of the epiphanies have been made whille redesigning our website. the main goals of this redesign are to increase the usability for the community features while breaking down barriers to entry. a lot of community features never got finished during our last big site updgrade; the previous update was really about automating the sign up system so we didn't have to keep entering names by hand, and introducing profiles so everyone could update bios, etc.

Dr. Drew helped buy paint for our Road to Oprah Bus!

Saturday we started painting our bus; before the volunteers arrived, I ran to the local hardware store to get supplies. By chance, I ran into Dr. Drew Pinsky from Loveline as he was buying lightbulbs. I have learned to carry 1 Second Film fliers with me everywhere I go just because of things like this. I introduced myself, gave him a flier, and told him about The 1 Second Film. Dr. Drew is a really nice guy- he thought the project was really interesting and wanted to become a producer on the spot! He chipped in $20, which I put toward the paint. :) Thanks Dr. Drew, and welcome to our crew!

Zoe Bell: Best Stuntperson Ever???

Sean — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 19:08:29 -0400

So here's what's up. I just came back from Grindhouse. It's amazing.I think it has the best stunt performance I've ever seen. And it just so happens to be by a Producer of ours, Zoë Bell. If you've seen the movie then you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you haven't then I'll just let you know that she's on a car and it's the sickest thing I've ever seen.So that's my thought on the issue, and that's why I think she's the best stuntperson (yep, better than anyone else) out there.She's supported us since way back, and she's awesome. Just thought you should know.

Kiefer Sutherland is our new Top 11 Executive Producer at $600.23

nirvan — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 01:04:46 -0400

Yesterday, completely by random, I ran into Kiefer Sutherland who was with some friends at a bar. I went up and pitched The 1 Second Film and 10 minutes later we had raised a combined $650 for our film! Kiefer donated $600.23 making him our current #8 Top Executive Producer. Why $600.23? I'm not sure; but I think it has something to do with saving the world... and "the future!!!" Check the check for clues. If Kiefer is still in our Top 11 when the film is done, he will get a title-credit appearing before The 1 Second Film begins. If anyone would like to be listed on top of Mr. Sutherland (and enter the running for a title-credit) just donate $600.24 or more. Needless to say, having Kiefer Sutherland in our Top 11 could be another big little moment for our production.

trying to get listed on IMDb

nirvan — Sat, 12 Feb 2005 20:07:07 -0500

We have filed another request to get our producer credits listed on IMDB. Thus far, all requests have been rejected... After Sundance, and having over 1,000 producers, I think it is about time IMDB gives The 1 Second Film a little credit. We seem to meet all of their requirements for pre-listing. And as Stephen Colbert said:

"IMDB should put these credits in.
