1-Year Chips, TV Tips, Basin Flicks, & Desert Reels

Today I celebrate one year of sobriety. Well, not really. Not from the bottle anyway, rather, the can. I have now lived life 365 days straight without an ounce of nicotine in my body because it was precisely one year ago today that I gave up the Copenhagen exactly one year ago today, a fact Bull Durham's Wife happily pointed out last evening.

Well... that's not exactly true either. Last night I picked up plenty of second hand smoke at our monthly Basin Film Society meeting where Jeffrey Johnson unveiled the skeleton structure of our new web site, David Sean Stringer shared the latest cut of his film Unnoticed which included a new musical score, Roger Coughlin (AV Productions) informed us he's merely days away from closing his deal with Cox Communications for an access channel, Brian Head gave us a sneak-peek at his documentary, An Evening with Larry Breeze, and I shared my plans to start a new Movie E-zine. It was an amazing night.

In light of Roger's revelation, BullDurham Productions plans to produce a television pilot that will air on Roger's access station in Midland, Midland. Bull Durham's Hot Corner, the televised version, will be a half-hour or one hour show (depending on the budget and time availability) about movies featuring trailers, clips, reviews, a weekly top-five, interviews, and viewer mail. Essentially it will be a televised blog. If you are interesting in sponsoring a locally produced television show in Midland, drop us a line.

And, as it turns out, I had an important lunch meeting today. If all goes well BullDurham Productions will begin pre-production on a promotional video for one of the larger churches in Odessa in the very near future. Stay tuned for further details.

The Desert Reel Film Festival is just a scant three weeks away. (April 21-24, 2005) Things are getting pretty busy around The Hot Corner and I'm not too sure how much bloggin' I'll get to do between now and then, but you can bet I'll be posting reviews of some of these films and keep you informed of events as the day approaches.

The Hot Corner has had over 300 unique visitors again for the second week in a row. We also had over a 1000 unique visitors in the month of March! Thanks! That's why Bull Durham's Hot Corner is the fastest growing, tightest, hippest movie blog on planet earth! You!

BullDurham,

Thanks for keeping us up to date on this topic.

That access channel could have a lot of potential. I've seen them in other cities, and they range from deadly dull to highly informative. Hopefully, Mr. Coughlin will put on some good stuff.
