New Episode Posted!

I've posted a brand-new episode on the main site
(the link is over there to the right --> )

Paul has a new obsession, a powerlifter
he photographed this week. Apparently
I'm going to be videotaping the powerlifter
during one of his work-outs.

I'm not that familiar with gym culture
(I've never worked out in my life), but
this should be pretty interesting.

That'll probably be the focus of my
next episode.

Thanks to all of you who've written to me.
I'm seriously grateful that you take the
time to watch the stuff I'm making and
give me great criticism and comments.
It means a lot to me.

I hope you like the new episode!

The new episode is posted

I've (finally) posted a new episode. It's on the official
site (click on the link over there on the right).

I'm going to Las Vegas this weekend with Paul, Nick and
Elliott. I'm hoping to shoot a lot of "behind the scenes"
footage for next week's episode.

My apologies to everyone for not responding to the comments,
here and on the main site. I read them all, actually,
every day. It means a lot to me that guys take
the time to tell me what they think, even if it's
negative. But I never seem to respond to them.
Honestly, I'm just not good at
that.

It's cool that Jay saw me on the street. I do live in the
Haight. If you see me around town, definitely say hello.
It'd be fun to meet some of you guys.

Anyway, I hope you like the new episode.

New Episode (on my main site)

I finally finished a new episode. I don't
know why I'm so damned slow. My apologies
to anyone who is watching. My plan is to
get one done per week.

That's also what Paul wants, so that's
what'll happen. He isn't exactly a tyrant,
I guess, but he has a way of making you
want to do things, and do them well.

So if you click on the link over there
on the right, it'll take you to the
other site.

Thanks for your patience, and
thanks to all of you who wrote comments
or emails to me. I'm an idiot about
responding, so I'm sorry about that!

And yes, I'm drinking a lot more these
days. I think that's just part of living
in San Francisco. People here take drinking
very seriously.

The new episode: Fire and Ice

I'm an idiot at tech stuff. I've tried to post the new episode here,
but it's apparently too long for the blog site.

It's nearly 10 minutes long and I guess that's too much for
this blog site.

I've posted it at the other website for ISLAND that the
guys at TIM have started for me.

You can check it out at

http://www.ryansullivanisland.com/

It's a spiffy site. It has a picture of me at the top.
I didn't put the picture there, but I'm ok with it.

Sorry this one took so long to post (and to make!).
I'll get the next one out quicker.

I got into a Croation film festival

I got some good news last week: Island was accepted into a film festival
in Zagreb.

I'll be honest. I couldn't remember exactly where Zagreb was.

Here's a map:



Here's the flag of Croatia. It's red, white and blue.



Here's a guy fishing somewhere in Croatia. It looks like a cool place.


I don't know for sure if I'll be able to, but I'm going to try to go to the festival
myself. It could be amazing.

Also, I'll have a new episode ready in one or two days. I'm working on it right now.
Thanks for your patience!

Here's a photo that Elliott took of me while I was reading a text that
the German producer sent to Paul. It's about...well, it's about all
kinds of things. More on that later. I think I'm supposed to
work on it.

Episode #45: The Swimmer (1' 55")

First off, thanks to everyone who left the amazing notes and
sent me some really wonderful emails. They meant a lot
to me and I'm very grateful.


It's been a rough couple of weeks. I decided to take this week
off. I'd had enough of porn, of sex, of family.

I'm alone for the week until I go back to work on Monday. I've
been wandering around San Francisco, keeping to myself.

I went to City Lights Books. The guy behind the counter
told me to buy a book of short stories by John Cheever.

I'm not sure why, but the story that hit me was 'The Swimmer'.
If you want to read it, here's where you can find the whole thing
online. You could probably read it in 15 minutes.

I hope this episode isn't too strange. I needed a break
from everything.

Episode #44: "More important things" (5' 48")

I watched the video Paul made, an interview
with John.

Paul says that John wanted me to see it all.

I decided to shoot the scene. I wanted the
chance to see him, even if he wouldn't see me.
