Hey everyone it is D.J. Heinlein from the blog site Matte Havoc. The thirteenth installment of The LAMBs in the Director’s Chair is a litter under a month away and I am excited about this one. Francis Ford Coppola has directed a large number of hit films that have resonated throughout the world of dramatic filmmaking. In recent years he has slowed down a bit with directing new films, but he has been busy with his involvement in his wine business, a quarterly short fiction magazine (All-Story), and also producing a few films along the way. Over the course of his career as a director his style has been diverse enough to include a war film, a mob film, a musical film, and a trial lawyer film. All of these are dramatic stories which have held the interest and attention of the audience from start to finish. For those who would like to see a complete list of films that he has directed for a reference guide of movie titles to watch I would recommend visiting the director's section of his IMDb profile page that is linked here.
Now for those of you who have never participated in this event before I would like to present the basic list of instructions and rules for participation in the series. The golden guideline would be that all participants must be a current member of the LAMBs or at least on the waiting list for approval to become a member. The second guideline of participation in the series would be for everyone to write and publish an article about the candidate who has been selected for the event. The focus of every article must stay within the arena of the person’s career as a movie director. The third and final item on the list of guidelines is an uncompromising rule of meeting the deadline for submission. Every article that you would like to submit for the event must be e-mailed to DJ Heinlein [ mattehavoc@gmail.com ] by 10 PM the night before the first day of the event. If you would like to submit an article that you published a couple of months or years ago I will accept them for participation in the event. Make sure to include a direct URL link to every article that you would like to submit. There is no minimum or maximum number of articles that can be submitted.
On a side note I usually ignore e-mails filled with explanations and plans of publishing an article for the event. My inbox fills up very quickly with submissions for this event and I might over look a submission by accident if I am spending time deleting e-mails that are filled with explanations about future publishing instead of valid and direct links to articles that are already available online. The best way to get involved in the series is to publish the article and then submit the link by e-mail. No explanations are necessary.
If you have any questions about the event you can e-mail them to me and I will respond as quickly as possible. Listed below are a few promotional graphics that you can post on your blog site to help promote the event. Have fun and knock yourself out with your reviews and editorials.
