i wish i had pictures of saturday night for you guys but i will just have to paint a quick picture with words:
darin had a "premiere night" for his movie "the mountain's dream." it was held at zack and rebecca's house and us girls (mostly carolann and rebecca) cooked up a bunch of fabulous indian food: curry, dal, spiced sweet potatoes, and coconut rice. rebecca made thai tea and we had beers of course. it was a lovely evening and after a while tons of people starting showing up. somehow, many more than darin had invited, which was rad, as it was especially interesting to see complete strangers' reactions to his movie.
anyway to put it lightly, the movie was a great success! i wish you could have all been there to see our friends' reactions and our proud director/writer/producer mister darin coelho spring!
we also showed stan's short six-minute movie "all told we get old" which absolutely delighted the crowd. that was shown first, and elicited tons of laughter. darin was kinda worried that now everyone was in the mood for a comedy. but no, this large audience sat so respectfully and enrapturedly all through darin's hour long film. there were some laughter-parts too, mind you, including both mikie and addie's unforgettable performances. joey's song played hauntingly during a key dreamy scene, and overall the movie was truly enjoyed by all.
even shane, who darin knew and kinda hoped would provide the harshest criticism, was really pretty complimentary and also very delightful to talk to on a variety of subjects. it is really fun for me personally when i start getting into a very social mood, like right now for spring break.
there were a few pictures taken with zack's camera so if i can get a hold of them i will post some.
with his newfound success, darin has many big plans. next up: documentary on vegetarianism. any ideas or thoughts, let us know. it is going to be a probing look, trying to be somewhat unbiased, and will include footage of a hunting trip carolann is going to be making. crazy, exciting stuff!

That sounded so fun. I wish I could see Darin's movie! All the hard work had paid off. Does he now have ideas of how to make his next project even better? I know Matt always tries hard to improve his writing and ideas with each new story or poem. I know lots of great things are going to come from you and darin. We are so blessed to have your sweet souls with us. Good job Darin.
well that sounds like a sweet screening! I wish I could have been there. blah blah, maybe next time. let's do another epic movie this summer, I REALLY want to be heavily involved in it if we do
WISH i had been there. Damn canyon!
I can't wait to see it Darin! Heather made some of the awesome food for us here and it was delicious! These kids have so much fun. I also love the volcano movie Darin and Mikie made, you all should see it sometime.
