In a comment on the recent “ASHLEY AND KISHA Ships! post the Always Aroused Girl asked, “Do you do nothing but watch people fuck?”

As it happens, she asked this question while I has enjoying my first Saturday off in over five years.

What I mean by that is this weekend is the first weekend since the Spring of 2002 that I have not owed someone a movie. In those five years I have produced the five erotic documentaries offered here, two commissioned docs (one on 9/11 and one on grass-roots relief work,) and one self-produced short doc about the indigenous fishery on Lake Victoria.

I tend to think of my self as a lazy(ish) person. I tend to think of myself as a person who wastes a lot of time worrying about things instead of doing things about things (because it’s true.)

But when I contemplate the fact that in the last five years I’ve produced, directed, and edited eight films, each well received, with a total running time of about 275 minutes–well my goodness, that’s something, isn’t it? Add to that creating, from the ground up, a distribution system for films that were (until we did it) regarded as “undistributable”, we’ll that seems like a bit of an accomplishment, doesn’t it.

Yesterday, on my first Saturday off in five years I went to the lumber yard and got a couple of planks and made them into a pair of oars. The boats I made them for need a little patching up before they’ll be ready for an outing. I might do that today. I might do it on Monday. The boss has given me the day off!
