FLYNN LIVES

GREETINGS PROGRAMS!!! 

Talk about amazing. This is a short film that is supposedly going to be released as an Easter Egg on the TRON: LEGACY blu-ray/dvd. (so make sure you watch it before it's removed!) Basically, it bridges the gap between the original 1982 TRON, and TRON: LEGACY, while wrapping up one of the most interactive and amazing viral campaigns ever FLYNN LIVES. You can go back and see everything from the campaign here. The clip also reveals that one of my favorite character's from the original film RAM, or rather his USER, is still up and at 'em. You're going to have to watch it yourself to find out how, I don't do major spoilers. :-p

p.s. Have I mentioned how much I adore Garrett Hedlund?

So, I've had some really nice things said about the short that I posted. Earlier today I received this one via email, and I thought it was so touching that I had to share.

"I must tell you, that film still has an uncomfortable grip on my mind. The sadness almost overwhelms me. I lost my cousin to cancer last year. We grew up together... went fishing every summer with rods from tree branches and line from butcher’s string... went to Sunday hockey games at the forum, and so much more. With his demise what was once a great childhood history got buried along with his bones. It is as though having lost my partner to this history it became bereft of the wonderful vitality it once had. The memory of those days is now without a trace of color. Your film was a perfect mirror of a wound that is unlikely ever to heal. Healing doesn’t come easily at our age. At least not for me. And I would think not for you either."

I find it sad that the film inspires such sadness, but at the same time, I had hoped that while that might be the case it would still give people hope for the future. To build new memories with new friends. I'm curious how other people feel about the subject.

Hopefully one of many.

Here's a short that I wrote and filmed a couple months ago. Everyone who helped out was amazing, and the director Patti Henderson is fantastic. Huge thanks to Chic and John. Also, major props to Jesse Fraser, who seems to be doing really well acting. ^_^
