I do...all art comes from pain..John Lennon said something to the effect...
e.g Buk knew the power of a fucking toothache..which I'm personally currently enduring..the man knew how to suffer and his writing reflected that and connected with chumps like me who need to know there are others...
The funny thing is, I'm not a fan of that music either..but for whatever reason the songs popped in my head when I was writing (adapting)...
All the assholes in the world and mine...okay, sounds challenging and perfect..
hey wow, i appreciate all the responses. Honestly there isn't a group of people I'd rather have watch my short film.
I tried to stay true to Buks work and feeling..he's been a father figure of sorts so it's the least I could do..
and I will be sticking around..i've actually lurked for...
Thank You
Hey, thanks for watching and giving feedback. Honestly I thought the acting was pretty good so it's interesting and helpful to get your opinion on it...That's myself playing the main role. It was kind of a personal thing for me, burying a hatchet so to speak..I don't consider myself...
Hey brother Buckers...my name is Clint Parnell and I've been a Bukowski fan since I first read his book "South of No North" back in '96.
Anyhow, I recently made a short film based on a short story from the same book.
It's "You & Your Beer & How Great You Are" and can be found here...
