Experiencing Interruptions?

Succor Forlorn

This film was almost COMPLETELY DESTROYED & LOST FOREVER due to relentless hacker terrorists, and a deadly pandemic! You CAN'T even make this stuff up! My modem was DDOS'ed, My Hard drives destroyed, and my expensive video card corrupted! My YET MY FILM LIVES!

Art is The Color of My Heart: I am an Artist and a Walking Philosopher. I make Art and think deep thoughts about being unemployed. Seeker of The Dao & One's True Dharma... or, mostly just a bag of wind.
