My Wife, and Her Ass-Kicking Ways…

Yeah, she got another award: this time, it’s the Abby Normal Award for Innovation, awarded by the Zompire Undead Film Festival in Portland. (See the post on Brutal Rice Productions’ site.) (I’m not quite sure why my name is on there, since I didn’t co-direct. Maybe they felt that the “innovation” was related to the script, or something, I’m not sure… but in this case, I really wasn’t very involved in the making of the movie… just the story and one draft of the script, soundtrack, and a little scattered foley, none of which are things that give one “collaborator” …

I haven’t been able to …
