How did you come up with the name of your film company?

i wrote a modernization of the calypso myth, in which ulysses and calypso lived on "ogygia avenue". the script sucked, but the name got me, so.

(of course, later i learned that "ogygia" is greek slang for a woman's panic button. D'OH!)

panic?

oh! I'd hardly call a clitoris reason for panic. Quite the contrary, in fact.

the euphemism came up in a class, and it always struck me as amusing and ironic.

i think it's funny that a non-union film will not be paying anything and will be working on labor day :)

Yeah, that had me laughing. Oh yeah, and please bring your own costume to work for free in.

I think you're underestimating the number of nonprofessional actors in the area who just want to get a little experience. I've never gotten paid for a gig, and I certainly don't feel like I've gotten the short end of the stick.
