This weekend, I’m sending out the releases for the music in Lone Star Public. Let’s hope the musicians really dig it…Man, I hoped to be further along by May 2022. It just keeps dragging out. So many things to do…”Life is short, art is long.” Peace and Love – Scott
LSP Update – Sunrise Creepin Round the Bend

The sun is beginning to break on the C19 crisis in Austin, TX. The world is beginning to open up again…
Lone Star Public Update – Oct. 27th, 2021
Chad Wellington has finished going through our raw footage and we have a preliminary cut. This cut has been handed over to me. I’m assembling a soundtrack of truly, independent Texas music. I’m also filming B-roll of the ole ATX. In the next two to three weeks, we’ll have a first cut of the film. We’ll screen it to our friends, get feedback, cut it one more time…and then send it to post-production. Over the next 2-3 weeks, I’ll be posting my progress here with screenshots and pics.
Peace and Love – Scott

Synopsis:
Hi! Thanks for your interest in my dream, indie film project. 90% improvised.
100% lying while telling the truth.
‘Worst Day Ever’ is an exploration of the workplace, tragi-comedy. ‘Adventureland’ meets ‘Parks and Recreation’ meets ‘Clerks’. When you create something, shit always hits the fan. I say this a lot…I’m amazed anything ever gets done.
The film will chronicle the break up of a band, the dissolution of a marriage, & creation of art steeping in the astounding absurdity of existence.
Thanks for your consideration.
peace and love,
Scott

Have you ever spent days and days making up flavors of ice cream that no one’s ever eaten before? Like chicken and telephone ice cream?…Green mouse ice cream was the worst. I didn’t like that at all.
