Any tips/advice for self producing a short film?

GreenAtheist comments on Jul 24, 2019:

Directors can be cinematographers....but lighting....film or digital.....zoom or stationary .....one 2 or 3 camera shooting can save on editing or post production time.....sound can be simultaneously or separately re-mixed....indoor or outdoor takes can be affected by building noise weather or flying birds....you might consider a narrator to keep it all together and inform the audience of ambient smell or tastes not mentioned by the actor/s.....have fun ....learn this complex art of story telling story watching story hearing by who ever you want your audience 2 b

I hope that UU's become a lot more ethnically diverse.

GreenAtheist comments on Jul 23, 2019:

There is no fixing UUs....they are what they always show up to be.....the one exception to this is WELCOMING CONGREGATIONS going out of their way to invite gays lesbians and non-binary marriages......but invite a black Atheist co-worker or neighbor to worship "diversity ?" As you can see not happening since Mayor Hubert Humphrey set the city on the road to desegregation in 1948

Racism has never been wrong out of power or reparations given to the victims....BEGIN WITH GIVING BACK MORE STOLEN LAND to Native Americans and recycle the leaking metal of pipelines poisoning our graves and rivers.....reparations to slave families kidnapped and raped to sell their babies.....Chinese obliterated with dynamite building railways and dams....Japanese imprisoned without knowing a single word of Tokyo attackers of Pearl Harbor or Attu....veterans experimented upon and still uncompensated for our injuries....racism exists to increase greed not validate bigotry

Professor Neil deGrasse Tyson was also falsely accused and triumphed over his faux feminists who are not Atheists.....many Atheist gatherings over the decades I have witnessed Atheists meet in hotel lobbies saloons banquets elevators and hallways with open doors to bedrooms.....I have been lured into those settings and avoided any sexist or reverse sexist conversations.....I chose not to speak out against political correctness of the gender assumption kind.....I still do....the goal of Atheist leadership is to defeat patriarchal theocracy....not dethrone men or embarrass activist women....I never saw David touch or harass anyone gay or straight ....but I am not his bodyguard to protect him all hours....it's very sad that American Atheists have endured quadruple murder, triple kidnapping, extortion, theft gang rape and triple beheading....since 1995 our religious fake news and theocrat enemies invent lies instead of report those facts in as many words.....Dave is a young wise professional with many fine accomplishments during his American Atheists tenure....maybe now he is free to collaborate with me on some projects shelved for lack of funding and other higher priorities Larry Carter Center with American Atheists since 1981

So today was 2 years sin and e my niece was killed by a drunk driver.

GreenAtheist comments on Jul 23, 2019:

Drunk drivers are not getting the message of felony prison time for their INTENTIONAL RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT CRIMES that too often lead to murdered victims....vehicular homicide is similar to firing off many rounds of bullets in a densely populated neighborhood....the weapon will sooner not later murder innocent people....It will be 2 years January 11th an illegal alien drunk driver destroyed my life CIRCUMSTANCES wanting to retire in Myrtle Beach S Carolina....I personally want to throw him over OBAMAs wall and hope he falls paralyzed on the ground in Mexico....finishing OBAMAs wall is one promise TrumpOLINI should keep.....drinking Modelo by the gallon by night and busting union jobs by day building high rise condos in Myrtle Beach did not include sending money back home to Mexico to his poor family....I have never seen a highway safety ad or billboard against drunk driving in Spanish....how else can these murders be prevented?

Why keep compromising and losing on the victims side ? "Science" is not some blameless graduate student promising to advance knowledge for all humanity ???? Most scientists are University/government employees paid far more than Native Hawaiians to dance for tourists or drive tractors through pineapple fields....I am Cherokee and genocidal whites have reduced the number of tribes from 1800 to 400 and most of them are like me not knowing a single word of our mother tongue....science is just another assimilationist tool delaying if not denying full reparations for stolen land and murdered forebears....not to mention rapes poison pipelines and destruction of habitat with natural foods

I have a question for the people that are 100% certain that no gods exist. How are you THAT certain?

GreenAtheist comments on Jul 22, 2019:

This question is easier to answer than the possibility that a perpetual motion machine exists....both questions deal with evidence....zero gawds have ever been examined for existence while all alleged perpetual motion machines have been tested and all failed the tests....you are trapped into the assumption of definition fallacies....an alleged gawd cannot be defined nor evidence presented because of the allegation of occasional miracles intervening from the outside of the natural verifiable world ....all the alleged miracles are infantile and miniscule compared to a rational persons expectations an alleged creator of a 15 billion light year wide universe should be able to do more parlor tricks than Oh gawd the movie with George Burns in both title roles "so help me me" his oath in the witness stand

That’s a really good question.

Until Clinton and TrumpOLINI the question was zero for all but JFK who might have known one or 2 racist priests but William Jefferson Bleigh alias Clinton has been a serial rapist since he met JFK in the White House age 17 Boys State from Arkansas as for TrumpOLINI he has had millions to spend upon PROSTITUTES and wives from many nations....who knows how many he raped were children paid money or not does not matter...the Vatican is bribing survivors of priest rape for their eventual silence in hopes of ending the drain upon Banco Ambrosiano trillions

You have been duped by some alleged author giving you 100% bullshit propaganda FOR religion obviously not mentioning the worst crimes against humanity and our ecosystem perpetrated by religionists to advance the evils of white xian rule over all other cultures....have you forgotten the 50 year struggle of Ghandi to expel the Church of England from India ? How religious zealots murdered him Indira and Rajiv ? How live widows were thrown or threw themselves onto the burning funeral pyres of their burning husbands....are castes "ethical?????"....you post these words like you have memorized each to be your own.....our Atheist is in zero ways comparable to any religionist or shaman....and secular ethics are not beliefs but well tested principles to follow ....morals are not to be tested at all but dogmatically submitted to from on high.....please don't take your lies back to India as something to be remembered as American anything

I prefer to reprogramme 90% of war and spy money for peace through green jobs @HowieHawkins20 ...calm thoughts are more helpful at large family gatherings with shrieking children splashing in the pool and drunken uncles praising TrumpOLINI

Does anyone have experience attending retreats?

GreenAtheist comments on Jul 20, 2019:

Some are cults some are liberal Unitarian Universalist Church Camps some are run by Marrianne Williamson (yes the Presidential candidate) run inside hotels or elite spas or on summer college campuses with zero summer students around....Maharishi University in Fairfield Iowa will have you flying on your butt on your big pillow in no time this summer.....Reiki Massage schools run these kind of mindfulness seminars or trainings at retreat settings Esalen and communes here or there host retreats .....the price tag usually the higher amount is worth the least in content but lavish surroundings.....Myrtle Beach S Carolina has a group of cabins and meeting facilities/library been there 80 years founded by an Indian yogi & his believers yes from India not Cleveland baseball team but it's almost ALL solitary meditation in the pinewoods next to the ocean beach......my suggestion is to volunteer to be an adult mentor @ CAMP QUEST for Atheist children in many camps this summer USA nearest you.....chanting and burning scented candles is likely to increase not relax your current thought patterns

They DO exist! 😂

Governor Dukakis lost the states right to retain command inside Massachusetts borders....he challenged ReaGUN deploying MNG TO CENTRAL AMERICA and lost....deploy today and a supreme commander can courts martial and discharge trans personnel at whim

All of this citizenship stuff made me wonder how tough the tests are.

People should grow their own, but distributing / selling to others carries liabilities....using on the job also involves employers with implied risks....legalized states are not ending the black market due to high prices and perceived quality differences....TrumpOLINI was not helping under Jefferson Beauregard Sessions IV....Not sure if Barr is relaxing or escalating federal prosecutions....is the United Nations taking a stand?

Probably just some cremated dust for me, no stone.

Veterans stones are high quality marble deeply engraved most look pretty good since 1942

Yes to this! I hate that "you can leave" bullshit.

GreenAtheist comments on Jul 19, 2019:

Yes run for office and pass good laws and over ride any TrumpOLINI vetoes

Is anyone else concerned about how witnesses and victims will be treated if Epstein goes to trial?

GreenAtheist comments on Jul 19, 2019:

Epstein lawyers will infer with questions these children sought money clothes and sexual pleasure with these "honorable" males.....Clinton is an adjudicated liar that's perjury for you Rrruusssshah dingy Crazy GREEDY LIMPboss radio cult liar ditto head MAGA TrumpOLINIbots and Epstein & Clinton probably rape "sandwiched" girls

OBSTRUCTION of justice is a felony and each perpetrator should get at least a year in jail with framed falsely accused victims of Chicago cops Cook County for over 100 years has been racist brutal and murderous....zero people have suffered anything for murdering Fred Hampton....Mayor Daley should be dug up out of his grave and riddled with the same number of bullets killing Fred Hampton asleep in his bed

GreenAtheist comments on Jul 19, 2019:

This scumbag alleged student is a Rrruusssshah dingy Crazy GREEDY LIMPboss radio cult liar wannabee.....hiding his identity by signaling black lives are ape lives is not free speech....dangling bananas on rope is also thinly veiled lynching threats and this little prick was spewing racist remarks worse than TrumpOLINI 3 YEARS AGO.....a 500 $ fine is just about right for his worthless ass but ACLU or criminal theocrats ACLJ Heritage Veritas even Fred Phelps may jump in to appeal .....I would love to hold a sign in front of his face: YOUR PENIS DOES NOT MATTER

Watched TV all day then went for a walk in an unusually cool evening while astronauts walked on the moon....the TV commentators were long on words and short on animated plans for space stations and trips to Mars so I enjoyed the smell of fresh cut lawns back yard bbq and colorful flowers not growing @ my house....war was raging in Vietnam my brother had been back a year yet the TV made little mention of kills and captured either side for the big news of APOLLO

There is a very romantic sexy scene in PHENOMENON where John TRAVOLTA gets a shave and shampoo from Kyra Sedgwick in her house.....she had been turning him down for dates throughout most of the film....I am not bald and half the year I shave my whole face the other half both below and above my lips for an Abe Lincoln beard ......I would shave every 20 hours to please my mate as soon as she chooses me for our ideas rather than sampling our kissing chemistry for more excitement than comfort....I would not kiss a guy for the same reason....stubble is sandpaper and my face does not need painful exfoliation
