The film that I help out with SFX makeup at the beginning of the year, Collection, had its premiere at the Sidewalk Film Festival. It took place Saturday night at the Alabama Power building on 18th Street North. Clint Till, the director, was there along with the principal actors, the other (real) makeup artist, and assorted family members. I was pleased withteh look of the film. It looked like what I had envisioned from reading the script and seeing several of the parts being filmed, so that was good. Friends of mine saw the online trailer, but weren’t able to make the showing Saturday night. If Clint is able to have a another showing in town, I’ll publicize it here so folks who want to see it can see it. If you are interested in seeing the trailer, you can see it and several of the making of previews on Par Entertainment’s myspace page.
Art in the Parking Lot in the Crestwood Shopping Center was postponed. The person who was organizing it had moved while she was trying to put it together, so she decided to to postpone the event until she had the time to organize it right.

I’ll be out October 21 & 22 at the 2nd Annual Barber Vintage Festival painting faces, creating temporary tattoos, and doing henna. Mr Barber and the folks at the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum have been marvelous to me this year.

The photos from last year’s festival look like fun.
If you like motorcycles or race cars, and haven’t been to visit the museum; you have missed a treat. The museum houses hundreds of motorcycles in showroom condition and has an impressive cross section of motorcycles from the beginning of motor driven cycling to today. There is a great collection of Lotus race cars, too. Check out the web site and get out there as soon as you can.
