OCTOBER CROW In LA On Sunset Boulevard

Producer and director Jack Haven is debuting OCTOBER CROW in LA at Whammy Media 2514 W Sunset Boulevard.

The 2024 film by Scab Production marks the directorial debut of Jack Haven aka Brigette Lundy-Paine creating the tale of Bella ( Alex McVickers ) fleeing Kentucky to the Last Babylon to be befriended by James (Peter Nolan Smith) a dying benevolent fiend introducing her to the other side of life as a dominatrix in a religious brothel run by La Bruja (Laura Lundy). As always no good deed goes unpunished.

OCTOBER CROW breaks the rules. No script. No money. No car chases. No gun ballets. Lighting done by a musician. No commercial value. No sell-out.

A tale dedicated to opening our eyes led by a cast of unknowns with the common goal of rejecting the ‘What Is’ in favor of the ‘Is’ as a homage to Amos Poe and John Cassavetes. Music by Mina Walker and Avshaa.

Coming to Drive-Ins at cities and towns near you soon.

Sadness Of The Sober

A woman reacted to this quote online.

She – This man was really a sad lunatic. To go through life and seeing all that misery and ugliness, which I don’t deny, but not seeing the beauty of a first day of spring , blossoming of flowers , or the jubilant sound of the laughter of children playing in a distance is total madness and beyond my comprehension!!

She – He was a drunk

Moi – And?

Serge Gainsborough after a beautiful woman said he was ugly. “Yes, I am ugly and you are beautiful, but I will always be ugly while your beauty will fade.” The true shame is man’s creation of ugliness instead of beauty.

Juff another commenter – and if he’d had set his sights a bit higher than spending his life riding barstool, there’s no doubt his works wouldn’t have been so fuckn dreadful.

Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way. – Bukowski

Sober people are sober. Good on ’em.But unlike me. I was once a drunk. Wasted days and wasted nights. Drinks for all my friends. Rage on against those who have never sinned, except in judgment. Their words are dust on the wind. They have never stood in Kansas. And we don’t need their prayers. We lived. For good. For bad. Mostly for the in-between. Thankfully without a thought for them.

ps Bukowski tended to write about the darkness of life.

Every one of them considered mad to write poetry.

My madness find me on the George Washington Bridge

Resisting the urge to fly

Hart Crane

On USS Orizaba

His supposed last words

To his sailor assassins

‘Good-bye everyone.”

Some other people prefer this ending.

“Fuck you. I’ll show you courage.”

He hung his jacket on the railing and jumped overboard.

Into the Gulf of Mexico.

Fcuk you indeed.
