In no particular order, ’cause it’s all great:
1) The trailer for the Columbia Film Festival, dreamed up, wrangled into reality, directed, and then shepherded through post-production by Morgan and her magic, is now up on the website: http://www.cufilmfest.com/ It is positively stunning how much work goes into an endeavor like this: no fewer than 10 Columbia students gave up most of their spring break week to make it happen (click on the extended credits to get an idea of the crew size)…Morgan not only pulled it off, but turned it into an amazing bonding experience. I heard people say that it was one of the defining moments of their Columbia education. In addition to being on the website and the Festival DVD, the trailer will begin showing on the Reuters Jumbotron in Times Square in a week or so.
2) Morgan’s birthday was yesterday. If you missed her online birthday survey, don’t be shy, click here. My favorite response so far is to the fill-in-the-blank: “If I could give Morgan a gift, with no regard for cost or practicality, I would give her…”: a more fuel efficient/dolphin safe/free range/childproof version of Patrick. My bias is obvious.
3) Morgan got a haircut. I am now the long-haired hippy of the family. ‘Nuff said.
