The Noble Prize. Movies, Madness, and Peace

Hollyweird, California. On St. Patrick's day, the anniversary of the Bombing of Baghdad brought to us by General Dick Clark , I printed the final draft of my screenplay -- Washington Interns Gone Baghdad. This is the intended sequel to my first feature Washington Interns Gone Bad. A political slapstick comedy - I aim to make the "Police Academy of Political Comedies" - Breaking down the conflicts found in foreign trade policy that has so many protesters up in arms under the guise of sex,drugs,and rocknroll Animal House style. Smile. You're not the one burdened with the vision. Our first feature was made for very little money and won some national attention, accolades, etc. ... Made it to three European film festivals etc. Whether or not this movie makes it to a theatrical release depends on many variables. While the first movie was made by a handful of friends with a common vision, I hope to employ proffesional actors and comics this time. The proffesional egos are my first obstacle.Ego conquered, my work meeting their standards, the next obstacle is money. Talent doesn't come for free unless they are enslaved to a vision like myself. I am obsessed. Money doesn't come for free either - Just ask the rascal who shoved his hands down my shirt, bobbled my double D's, and asked if they ever came out . I am not sucking C-ck for Hustler yet. I am living in my car. I was living in a closet across the street from the gay and Lesbian center in Hollywood in a studio apartment with a certified witch. I am not making this up. I chose the closet because every once in a while - no matter how white - One needs to be able to close the door to a witch. Ask the unlucky frog-prince. He will lament that he should have bought a deadbolt. I became known as the Shaman in Closet for I am indeed a Shaman - An urban Shaman - If you will... Having trained and studied with Terrance McKenna And Dr. Timothy Leary ( Bless their souls) before they passed away. Don't squeeze the Shaman. I have trained in the japanese martial art of Aikido for over twelve years. I became interested in ritual theater and cathartic group experience when I was 13. Having studied the military strategies for de esculating agression found in Aikido, I have set about to make movies with the intent of establishing a greater peace - In myself, those around me, the world at large, and any sentient habitats host to alien life that may be scamming our cable television from our primitive sattellites for free. It is my hope that thru a series of screwball comedies, cast and crew will be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Stranger things have happened. Everyone's fangs come out for the Oscar. I am no exception. I want to do more than entertain. I would like to reach out to the youth of America - The Angry, Rock and Roll Youth - And I would like each of them to know and understand that is through taking personal responsibility that we can effect change. Every rebel should have a Harley and a copy of the American Constitution. I hope I inspire that. I remember asking my mother when I was little What a MOM is... "A mother is a producer," she replied. No wonder I feel the need to make ten thousand movies... I never thought I would be a producer. I always thought of myself as an actress/writer type. However, I am compelled to make movies, serve fellow artists, and this blog is created to document the madness found in the process of realizing this peace. Stay tuned. Don't drop out. I gotta drop out for now... Andrew Sherman of Andrew Sherman Vehicle and Andy Dick's B-tches of the Century is playing at the Gig tonight. Another story for another time. Welcome to my mind. "What I want to Know is, Are you kind?" - Gratefully yours.
