A TIME OF RESTING

After getting the first episode online, I decided on a day, or so, of resting. Sure enough, in keeping with the idea of rest, someone from Warner Bros. handed me a DVD of the direct to video feature Rest Stop, starring Jaimie Alexander.

I knew I recognized her from something I had seen previously, but I could quite remember where. An imdb search revealed that I remembered her from Kyle XY a TV series I had seen on iTunes. Rest Stop is definitely a small movie, the kind I like actually, with very few characters and even fewer locations. Too many horror movies these days try to be too big with too much action.

I was not at all surprised to find it was written and directed by one of the writers and producers on the Warner Bros. series Supernatural. It could easily have been a part of that series. In fact, there was an episode in season 2 that was on the road in the same fashion. Being an unrated film, though, it is much more grisly that Supernatural, and that's saying a lot since that show can be pretty gruesome at times.

While resting, I am also slowly but surely visualizing the next episode. There's so much I want to do, but finally I feel that it is not beyond me anymore. There is a way to present it finally! There is a way to get that story told! And it is a way that works for the creator and not against.
