The Temp X Diaries
My cousin Steve is down in LA working towards becoming an agent, his dream job as it were. While working down there for various temp agencies he had a lot of bad, bad experiences. You know, the kind of work experiences that only Hollywood can offer: getting fired for getting the wrong kind of coffee, breathing improperly in front of a client, etc.
Anyways, through all of his experiences he managed to stumble upon the Temp Diaries, a blog written by a mostly anonymous blogger under the name of TempX. It turns out that he has an annual film festival, or at least that’s what it’s turning into, and I managed to find this out on the last day he was accepting entries.
Of course I didn’t have anything to submit, but I’ve made it a goal to start entering these things if for no other reason than to get our videos out there, so I threw Satan’s Seat at him in hopes it would do just that. It’s the most film-studenty thing we’ve made, though it’s not even really that close.
Anyways, we didn’t win. In fact we placed so badly that we were only second to last in the alphabetically ordered ‘participants’ category. Oh well, perhaps we’ll make it someday. I think the grand prize was a DVD of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, talk about missing out. But up against competition like this…
