Where is Jim

 

Well, where is Jim?

For now, I'm slowly trying to get my stuff together as all of us have are having trouble. And one big "trouble" is the past. The past and the future and somewhere there in maybe we all will be able to find out what's going on for the past and the future.

So where I am, past, future, frozen and desperately trying to find out what is going to go on. There is one thing for some of you, that's the past and for most it's ten years of past with lots of reading by the beginning or no future or nothing at all. Bummer.

And I'm not sure I'll be able to get the future. But the past is still interesting and in fact, has what the past as already done.

And there is a future, at least I'm still alive, that old guy standing in the corner telling you how I and my partner copped a short Canadian film called Cooperage and we won over all the other Canadian short films that beat all of the others in the contest. But we also was in a bigger contest, the oscars. We didn't win but were in one in five.

1976 Canadian Film Awards and winning.

1976 Athens International Film Festival

1977 Sydney International Festival

1977 Yorkon International Film Festival

1976 Chicago International Film Festival

1976 Academy Awards 

1977 American Film Festival (New York)

So this is what we managed to do with our own money and lead us to both were able to write another few bunch short films... and each of use made our own movies, and we managed to keep going.

And yes, that short film, about making barrels for whiskey. It's called Cooperage.

So that's where it all started. Will try to find photo of Cooperage.
