I promise I don’t snort in the version I’m submitting for approval. The lovely actor next to me is Nikki Chase, part of our cast and a rising talent from Tracy, CA.

Flipping out?
Today I have to get all the fundraising pitch footage edited so Fractured Atlas can review it. I’m planning to launch my fundraising campaign in September, then film in October. There are so many moving pieces. It’s overwhelming some days. I stay calm by focusing on one thing at at a time: today the editing and tomorrow the donation request letter second draft. I’ve been getting great feedback from Dr. George, my adviser from SJSU back in the MA days and President of the Brilliant Beethoven Center. I’m on the board of the associated American Beethoven Society.

There are so many compelling arts organizations to support, like the Beethoven Center. It’s important to me to make PBDG a great project, a film worth supporting. I was very inspired by my visit to the Pacific Pinball Museum Collections last night and the prospect of including bonus material on my DVD about the unique transparent pinball machines they are making.
Visiting Michael Schiess at the Pacific Pinball Museum
If you haven’t made the trip to Alameda, CA to visit the Pacific Pinball Museum, you need to. 90+ games on free play, beautiful artwork, signage and knowledgeable folks to teach you history of American Pinball, and a great vibe. There was a Mad Men themed birthday party in one of the rooms you can rent — everyone was turned out beautifully.
Michael is working with me on putting together a super finale for Pinball Donut Girl: I am going to film those scenes with his machines. I’m thinking the featured machine for the finale should be Fun House. What do you think? I’ll make a poll and you guys can help me decide.
