Hello all. Joe Campanella here. About a week ago I was contacted by a certain Fletch to do a certain post, on a certain website, named after a certain animal. The post was to be used in order to start a new feature here on the L.A.M.B. which shall be called...THE L.A.M.BLOG_A_THON!
See, a while back I started a blog called FILM-A-THON, which some seemed to enjoy, but most seemed to ignore, myself included. The general idea was to have a weekly blog-a-thon about all things film.
After a few weeks of quasi-participation (thanks to DEAR JESUS, COOSA CREEK CINEMA, USE SOAP FILM and HE SHOT CYRUS) I decided to put the kibosh on the FILM-A-THON.
A couple months later Fletch had the idea of a monthly blog-a-thon (held here on the L.A.M.B.)suggested to him by Paul from CAREFUL WITH THAT BLOG, EUGENE (a great site by the way!) A few emails later and I was asked to head up this wonderful feature.
So, let's get right down to it, shall we?
At the beginning of every month, check here on the L.A.M.B. for the subject matter in which we are to blog(a-thon) about.
Write up a post on the given subject and send the link to LAMBLOGATHON@gmail.com
Then, in the middle of the month, I'll post the links, much like a regular blog-a-thon, here on the L.A.M.B.
Sounds easy enough, no?
Now onto this months subject....
"WHO ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?"
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought that this month should be dedicated to film professionals whom we are all thankful for. The catch is, it can't be a director or actor. Those cats just get too much love already, don't you think?
With these posts you can focus on anyone working in the film industry from any time period from any country that isn't a director or actor. It is okay, though, if the person has done both directing and acting, so long as your post acknowledges their exceptional work in another part of the filmmaking process.
Example: You could write about GENE WILDER, but not as an actor or director. You must focus on his writing.
So there you go. Send me the links to your posts anytime before November 15th. I will start putting them up, here on the L.A.M.B. from November 13th-15th.
And everyone...
BE SURE AND TELL YOUR FREINDS!
