The Independent Culture Project: "That sounds really cool... what is it exactly?"
http://independentcultureproject.blogspot.com/2009/02/that-sounds-really-cool-what-is-it.html
The Independent Culture Project. Diary of a documentary in progress. Monday, February 9, 2009. That sounds really cool. what is it exactly? People keep telling me that they like reading this blog - right before they ask what exactly the film is about. And while it's a work in progress that's constantly taking on a more exact shape, I can still sum up what it is we're doing. As a handy reference, I've added a link to the sidebar ("about the film") which will explain things. I felt like I had stumbled into...

The Independent Culture Project: What day is it again?
http://independentcultureproject.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-day-is-it-again.html
The Independent Culture Project. Diary of a documentary in progress. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. What day is it again? It's been a crazy few days, and it looks like there are only more like it to come! Saturday night Gary Clark Jr. Played a birthday show at Antone's. It was both intense and fun - those guys can rip up a stage like nobody's business. This morning we went back to the Spring condo-in-progress to get some dawn shots, so I'll be posting about that later. Rob climbed up the crane!

The Independent Culture Project: Resume transmission
http://independentcultureproject.blogspot.com/2009/03/resume-transmission.html
The Independent Culture Project. Diary of a documentary in progress. Monday, March 16, 2009. I think my body has lost all sense of what a time zone is, I am exhausted beyond words, and it's been a pretty awful week in general, but all it takes is one song to supersede all of that. This is how music is so powerful. I think the perfect example of this is how we ended up deciding not to shoot a band at the festival, who we've been wanting to work with for months.

The Independent Culture Project: Beauty Bar gets Art Disastered and I run off to the woods to wear flannel
http://independentcultureproject.blogspot.com/2009/03/beauty-bar-gets-art-disastered.html
The Independent Culture Project. Diary of a documentary in progress. Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Beauty Bar gets Art Disastered and I run off to the woods to wear flannel. We spent all afternoon on Red River getting some sweet steadycam shots of Cari. And then Bill Baird. Then we headed over to Beauty Bar, where Dániel Perlaky was throwing his annual Art Disaster SXSW party. Nathan and Rob got all sorts of footage following Dániel around, crowd shots, and the whole festival scene. All day, starting early ...

The Independent Culture Project: The Crane
http://independentcultureproject.blogspot.com/2009/02/crane.html
The Independent Culture Project. Diary of a documentary in progress. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. One of my aspirations in life is to eventually become one of those people who go to bed early and wake up early. Dawn is my favorite time of day and I'm absolutely a morning person - I'm just never awake to enjoy it. So when I had to get up at 5am yesterday for a sunrise shoot on top of the Spring. Condo-to-be, I saw it as a great opportunity to really savor a morning. And what a morning! By the South Lamar...

The Independent Culture Project: brief intermission
http://independentcultureproject.blogspot.com/2009/03/brief-intermission.html
The Independent Culture Project. Diary of a documentary in progress. Wednesday, March 4, 2009. In a few days I'm going to be taking a break from this blog (and this project) for a couple of days to be with family. Sometimes you have put down your tools and go deal with things that don't wait, until shooting wraps. If you're lucky enough to be working with a crew and a staff who understand that certain personal priorities outweigh that of the work, then you're very fortunate indeed. Posted by Julia Gazdag.

The Independent Culture Project: I'm blogging... about bloggers!
http://independentcultureproject.blogspot.com/2009/03/im-blogging-about-bloggers.html
The Independent Culture Project. Diary of a documentary in progress. Sunday, March 22, 2009. I'm blogging. about bloggers! Friday at noon we met up with a couple of our producers at the HotFreaks! Party at the Mohawk. We were there to interview music bloggers, which, since I'm a total dork, was the most exciting shoot EVER. Time was short, we were meeting Black Joe Lewis. At Waterloo Records at 3, so we only got two interviews: My Old Kentucky Blog. And Gorilla vs. Bear. S (you know, Belaire. I haven't s...

The Independent Culture Project: December 2008
http://independentcultureproject.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
The Independent Culture Project. Diary of a documentary in progress. Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Day 3,476 (well, it feels like it anyway). It's December. It's ridiculously cold by Austin standards. Naturally, we shot outside yesterday. Dániel Perlaky of Indierect Records. And Victor Moyers, a big player on Austin's creative scene met up with us at Spider House. Seriously, they have a crazy energy, and this back and forth thing going on that's fantastic. Later the crew went to film a Fresh Boy Crew.

The Independent Culture Project: The Independent Culture Project: What It Means
http://independentcultureproject.blogspot.com/2008/11/day-what-day-is-it.html
The Independent Culture Project. Diary of a documentary in progress. Friday, November 28, 2008. The Independent Culture Project: What It Means. I thought it would be nice to use this Thanksgiving weekend lull to put up a more detailed account of what this project is about. Where it came from, why we're doing it, all that fun stuff. Here's the official mission statement, composed by Nathan. Austin, TX is known worldwide as the "Live Music Capital of the World." But what exactly does this mean? Our film wi...

The Independent Culture Project: T minus 3 days
http://independentcultureproject.blogspot.com/2009/03/t-minus-3-days.html
The Independent Culture Project. Diary of a documentary in progress. Friday, March 20, 2009. T minus 3 days. Ok, look. I will probably make no sense in this entry. The past two days have been spent on my feet, living off granola bars, filming and stubbornly going to shows. There's half a dozen Indonesian boys living in our living room (but we got free wristbands in exchange! Yesterday morning we met up with. In the end, though, it was all OK. We figured things out and made things work for both crews.
