KIT, Q&A, FTW.

How exciting to actually be getting comments on here! And such ah-mazing ones at that, exclamation point

Here’s some other ways you can find us, iffn you’re interested:

twitter account is irememberandrea

You can be-face me on facebook. I’m fairly certain I’m the only Andrea Wachner in the northern hemisphere.

Become a face-fan. Join the I Remember Andrea film page. And then join the Cricket fan page.

There’s also www.irememberandrea.com with a one-minute trailer I cut all by m’self and pics n junk. I’ll try and put some new stuff up there, or get someone who speaks nerd to put some new stuff up there soon! I know it’s ugly. I made it in an hour on iWeb. I’d love to be able to hire Emily Glaubinger, the incredible artist who did the drawings for the animated section of the movie (there’s an animated section in the movie!) to re-do it. A gal can dream.

In the meanwhilst, there’ve been a lot of factual inaccuracies in the articles (there’s no such thing as fact checking in the new economy) and videos going around, so great questions are filling up my various inboxii. I’ll try and answer some here– if you have others, take full advantage of the comment section built for you and I will answer those too, in addition. Unless they’re mean questions. I won’t be engaging those.

Q: Why are you 31 and having a 10 year reunion? Are you “special”? I know your high school was hard, but did it take you until the age of legality to get your diploma?

A: I shot this in August of ‘05. 3.5+ years ago. It takes time to make a movie all on your own, people. Especially when you up and move across the country in the middle and lose your incredible editor, the estimable Chris Guido in the process. The first six months of post were also a technomologmical nightmare. But the six-minute trailer currently going “viral” like the pig flu has been up on youtube for a long while. I guess I’m just that far ahead of the media! They can’t keep up with me.

Q: Are you and Cricket friends now?

A: No. We are sisters now. She is the coolest, most wonderfulest, awe inspiringest, gymasticiest, leotard owningest woman I know and she is welcome to any organ I have two of.

Q: How can I see/buy the DVD of your movie?

A: Do you own a major or medium-sized motion picture studio, distribution company or television network?  I want to sell it!  I want you to see it! Hopefully I will have great news to this end soon. I am poor and I like to eat appx. one meal a day.

Q: What did you shoot on and how were they hidden?

A: 3 (three!) Panasonic DVX-100a’s. They were hidden full-sized, mounted atop two guy-sized guys’ shoulders aka not hidden.

Q: Why are you meow meow meowing about going to a good, safe, well car’d high school, Crabitha?

A: I’m not. I swear. I actually say, in EVERY SINGLE INTERVIEW, that I would hate for it to come across like I suffered or was tortured, or that I was still holding a grudge after my 4 year sentence served there. I found ways to be happy at PVPHS, just like I always do– I can make anything fun– but that doesn’t mean I liked having to go there. I probably would’ve hated high school no matter where I went, cause high school sucks! For so many reasons! The main two being that you have to wake up while it’s still dark outside and that kids get made fun of for the things that make them different. (With distance and age, you realize those are the very same qualities that make you great and interesting and worth knowing. And just to be clear, I don’t remember ever being made fun of by anyone other than my brothers) This is a pretty universally held belief as witnessed by the wonderful response to my “prank.” Apparently however, this information is not deemed article or spot-worthy.

A without a Q: I am not shy. I am not insecure about who I am now, nor have I ever been. I think it takes a lot of security in your identity to be willing to let someone else portray you, to not care what the results are, to film it, and to let everyone in the world see you “make a mockery” of yourself. And then to go on HD national television unshowered and make-up ignorant. Please enjoy some embarassing pictures of me in my awkward teen years.

Before Chuck E shoved my own sweet 16 birthday cake in my face:   sweet-sixteen2.jpg
And after:    sweet-sixteen5.jpg

A: Yes, I had my 16th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Ironically, I am now vegan.

    Thank you

    You rock! I skipped my reunion ’cause just like you, I didn’t want to go. Unlike you, I’m not real creative. I can’t wait to see the movie!

    BTW, I noticed you are running a VERY old version of WordPress on this site. You might want to get it upgraded to the latest (currently 2.7.1) for security reasons if nothing else. Although the latest does add some pretty cool features like threaded comments.

    The Doctor will listen to anything you say and even willing to do pro-bono work for you.
    Not to worry, you are doing everything as you should be at the right moments in your life. It is quite normal to have afterthoughts of “IF” and all that sort. Gr8 idea, my 40th is coming up soon, i was always out of the country when the earlier ones happened. this year i’m just claiming conflicting schedules. hehehe. you see I too hated those dreadfully boring years of high school.

    Hi Andrea,

    You have my utmost admiration….I went to my 25th and hated it. I’m never going again…I discovered that I had absolutlely nothing in common with these people… who are they anyway? I loved your ingenuity in improvising this. Well done! Kath

    Gratitude for posting this information. I’m decidedly frustrated with struggling to exploration out pertinent and intelligent commentary on this issue. Everyone today goes to the very far extremes to both drive residence their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many cheers for your concise, pertinent insight.

    Finally I’ve found just the information that I have been searching for. You know, it was actually infuriating to surf through a number of sites and not get the to-the-point stuffs. However, your web site ended up being an exception. I can proudly tell that- “See, here’s a website which i value for my study! ”
