Michelle "Mothra" Millette - filmmaker.

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am moving to Austin, TX in September to chase funnel clouds and dream in 16:9
Screenplay progress:
Douglas. (6th draft): 85%
Faith & Revelation (1st draft): 40%
Put your ass in the chair and bleed on the page.
coweatman (1:49:36 AM): random thought while watching buffy the vampire slayer - if my future self or someone claiming to be such a thing came back and told me not to do something, i think i'd probably say "fuck you, even if you are me, i need to make my own mistakes, or this life isn't mine".
tetriscide (11:35:03 AM): you deserve a taco
Shit happens...
I'm a director/screenwriter/script supervisor/editor/all around bad ass. I'm currently working to reshoot my first feature, Douglas. after a hard drive failure. Don't trust RAID 0 kiddos and back up your shit daily. Check out the project here:
Here is the rough cut of the Douglas. trailer. Sound is not mixed and it is uncolor corrected. A recut will be happening shortly. Enjoy!

I started the Papercut Zine Library back in 2004. Now its 10,000 zines strong with a big group of awesome folks who run the library.
I stand outside in thunderstorms. Would you care to join me?

My Interests

RIP LISA MARIE & JEFFREY BARRY

Making movies. You. People who aren't afraid to believe in their own selves. Writing tortuous screenplays. Being on a film set, constantly. My cat. the Panasonic HVX200 and all of its beauty. the new england revolution, who will someday win a cup. Editing on Avid. Douglas. Late night beers and ridiculous conversations. true anarchists. DJ Nitetrain. Swingsets in churchyards at 2AM. movie watching in austin. Ashtanga yoga. my friends. restarts, reshoots, and resolution. eye candy. the Papercut Zine Library. Shows filled with sweaty punks.

I'd like to meet:

You. instant message AOL: Zenga9032

I'd give anything to be haunted by Robert Mitchum's ghost.

Take an axe to likable protagonists.
