I decided that this blog maybe a good way to purge some frustrations as well as document the Self Storage movie shooting May 26-31st. 

Basic Premise of the film: Spring of 1973, the Los Angeles Zoning Commission attempts to disband a group of anarchist freeloaders who are living in their personal mini warehouses.

I am the costume designer. oh boy. 

I am currently frustrated because of the fact that my director, like most dudes, doesn't discern between colors the same way I do. I know this is a stupid complaint, but sky blue and teal are not the same color. Ladies can I get a witness? Also, while I'm ranting, I think he has a different idea of what the 70s were than the 70s that actually happened. I probably do too, I mean, I saw Anchorman, I know what's up.

In my linguistics class, we actually talked about this. American Men can usually name 6 to 8 colors where American women can name 10 to 15. It's just a thing. Might have to do with a lot of guys being slightly colorblind? I don't know, that's just my theory.
