Why do Young Artists Have to Struggle to Produce Art?

Keeping it quick and to the point:

My son Jordan (singer/songwriter/novelist/graphicartist/filmmaker) has entered a contest to create a plot line for a horror film for HorrrorFest 2008).  He loves horror movies (he DID NOTget that from me) and has come up with something clever.  The problem is, he just found out about the contest yesterday and the deadline for votes for the winning concept is MONDAY.

If you like–or can stand–the horror genre at all, or if you just love film, or if you think artists should be given every chance to make art, please go before Monday to: http://www.massify.com/pitches/channel
and vote for Jordan's concept.  It will involve registering on the site (it can be rather anonymous) and then casting your vote.  He would really appreciate your support!

It's a little frustrating that talented young artists have to jump through rather stupid hoops sometimes to get support for their creative efforts, but that is a discussion for another blog.

Mille bacci and mercy buckets.
