A DOC'S JOURNAL by Scott Solary

We did it. We managed to create, shoot, edit and post 11 four-minute+ shows in 11 days. This was also an experiment in our capabilities of viral campaigning. Through hosting the video on two places (Blip.tv and You Tube), utilizing our existing blogs, websites and mailing lists, we were able to get over 4,500 hits within a 10 day launch. These aren't huge numbers, but considering the short amount of time and small scale of our operation (2 people), we're quite proud of all our efforts. Today's episode doesn't count and we're sure the numbers will grow in time as these films are released and reviewed.

We hope to have more exciting news about our web 2.0 endeavors soon. Meanwhile, we'll anxiously wait for an acceptance letter from a festival delivering the good news about "All God's Children". We know it's out there.

In the meantime, enjoy Eva Mendes chatting it up with S.T. "The Reeler" VanAirsdale. Luci and I saw her movie, "Live!" last night and it is awesome. The film is directed by multiple oscar award-winning documentarian, Bill Guttentag. Despite how much you think you are above being interested in witnessing the demise of others, this film pulls you in and unlocks and excites your inner voyeur to the point of guilt. But that's the point.

"Charlie Bartlett" stars Anton Yelchin, Robert Downey Jr., Hope Davis, Kat Dennings, Tyler Hilton, Ishan Davé, Megan Park, Jonathan Malen and Jake Epstein.

I love the outer spaciness of the location in this one. Enjoy.

We saw a sold out screening of "Descent" last night. I'm just going to say "Powerful" and I'll be very interested in what the real critics have to say.

We're almost through with our Tribeca daily video run for ReelerTV. Two more to come.

Here's supercool Talia Lugacy hanging at the former Screening Room's bar on a windy New York afternoon. We hope we'll be able to get tickets to tonight's show. Judging by the illogical logistics for press to get a ticket to a public screening, we probably have a snowball's chance of seeing the film tonight.

We were finally able to go see some movies today. This morning we saw the press screening of "The Killing of John Lennon" and later in the afternoon, we saw the public screening of "Golden Door". John Lennon was a little long, with too slow of an ending for the morning, but seeing Martin Scorsese introduce "Golden Door" was an awesome surprise.

Having press passes does have its privileges. We got a sneak peak at the screener for"King of Kong" and it rocks. Not your typical contest doc. Whenever you get a chance, check it out. Oh yeah, in case you missed the show: ReelerTV #6

Today's show is with Marc Klein discussing his film, "Suburban Girl" with Alec "Voicemail" Baldwin and Sarah "Buffy" Michelle "Slayer" Gellar. The film's party was one of the nicest this year: not too crowded, complete open bar and gift bags with the novel that the film is based on, "The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing" in it.

Go to the Good Hard Working People blog and subscribe by typing in your email. We promise this is just for the email subscription. We don't sell or use your email for anything else (nor does anyone else for that matter). You will begin receiving emails from us as we update the blog. The "magic" will be the little player that comes within the body of the email that you can watch our latest videos on. The reason I call it magic is because if you try to find out how to embed flash players in an email, most online info will tell you it's inconsistent, difficult or just plain impossible. Thanks to a secret friend and his pointers, Luci cracked the code. I really enjoy getting my daily shows from a feed directly to my mailbox. It's info-tainment sans surfing. Hope you enjoy it.

Today's show is yet another "something else" turned director. Zak Penn, mostly known for inking the X-men series directs an improv comedy called The Grand set within the world of high stakes poker.
