Edwin James Lynch: December 2014
http://ozfilm.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Writing, web development and hypertension. Sunday, 7 December 2014. Malvern Avenue Junior School 1975. Digital footprints in the playground of my mind. Neurons Outlive Our Bodies. I was pretty sure we fake most of our childhood memories by looking at family photo-albums rather than the actual re-firing of old neurons, but this article begs to differ. And to me makes sense. Long live the neuron. But I lived just outside the CBD and had a middle-class sort of bringing up. My mechanic father and secreta...

Edwin James Lynch: Mum's Neighbour died.
http://ozfilm.blogspot.com/2015/01/mum-neighbour-died.html
Writing, web development and hypertension. Sunday, 18 January 2015. I just heard that Mum's neighbour, Margaret, has finally died this morning at 8:30am. She was 85 years old. Her husband John died (also from a heart attack) back in 2007 - several months before my own Father. Or, if feeling a little more empathetic, "I hope she died peacefully." The short of it is that we really want to know what happened. How did the person die? Dying Suddenly or Dying over time. Dying isn't great. But there are rea...

Edwin James Lynch: The Three by Five Card Index System
http://ozfilm.blogspot.com/2006/07/three-by-five-card-index-system.html
Writing, web development and hypertension. Sunday, 2 July 2006. The Three by Five Card Index System. Here's another approach to writing your screenplay. The screenwriter's friend. Introducing the infamous Three by Five Card Index System. How can I get one? In my case - I made it. What it amounts to is this: Three 90cm x 40cm sheets of chipboard hinged together so that the whole thing stands like a concertina on a table or floor. Cool How does it work? I write 2 days per week with Phil. We've given up...

Edwin James Lynch: Really good idea for a film (part 3)
http://ozfilm.blogspot.com/2007/03/ive-got-really-good-idea-for-film-part.html
Writing, web development and hypertension. Monday, 26 March 2007. Really good idea for a film (part 3). Well I'll eat my hat! I started struggling with a sci-fi no-budget screenplay, Yellow. I was scheduled to shoot in Feb / March, but the script wasn't exactly writing itself. Then Life took hold. Cancer in the family and a new job writing screenplaysfor DADAA. Saw Old Father Time disappear. The AFC makes decisions about this year's Indivision projects on May 3rd. I refuse to wait by the phone. Subscribe...

Edwin James Lynch: The Drug That Killed River Phoenix
http://ozfilm.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-drug-that-killed-river-phoenix.html
Writing, web development and hypertension. Saturday, 17 August 2013. The Drug That Killed River Phoenix. Going to be about a new drug I'm on called Duomine. But as I knew very little about River Phoenix (aka the vegan Jimmy Dean. I thought I'd swat up on what's really going on behind that brain-worm ditty. I'll talk about Duomine another time. The song line I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix. Is from Aussie alternative band TISM's tasteless 1995 single (He'll Never Be An) Ol' Man River. From 1974 ...

Edwin James Lynch: Script development on a budget
http://ozfilm.blogspot.com/2007/09/read-my-screenplay.html
Writing, web development and hypertension. Saturday, 1 September 2007. Script development on a budget. Most people abhor criticism and nobody likes to open their wallet. If you are either, don’t - whatever you do - write a feature film screenplay. I almost guarantee that nobody will read it without being paid. Criticism is not the same as rejection. While Mum will happily read your screenplay, getting constructive. Feedback from industry professionals costs money. For the actual writer/s. Here’s a ...

Edwin James Lynch: Giant CRX 1 Flat-bar Road Bike - A Metaphor
http://ozfilm.blogspot.com/2006/03/giant-crx-1-flat-bar-road-bike.html
Writing, web development and hypertension. Sunday, 19 March 2006. Giant CRX 1 Flat-bar Road Bike - A Metaphor. I've been working my guts out doing websites all week (day and night) and now I have to mark 50 online student usability exercises. Ugh! I got a glimpse. Of my girlfriend this week. She lives really. Far away and - as I ride a CRX 1 Flat bar road bike - it takes me a good 2 hours to get there. Especially after riding from Como to teaching Saturday acting classes. I don't ride fast - just cruise.

Edwin James Lynch: Doing things the old way
http://ozfilm.blogspot.com/2012/08/doing-things-old-way.html
Writing, web development and hypertension. Thursday, 16 August 2012. Doing things the old way. When Dad died in 2007, he left Mum his old wooden boat. Suffice it say that my Mum's not the most mechanically minded person (God Bless her) so the upkeep and maintenance rests with me and my brother-in-law. The Pisces now sits awkwardly on Jetty #2 at The Swan Yacht Club in East Fremantle. Member Bob will fix that." Engine kaput? Hand me that old spanner, I'll give it a turn." Broken window? Lease Several othe...
