go forth and interstitial, my child

For anybody who has cable television and might be interested…our project for the Disney Channel airs all day today and all day on Halloween. The title of the project is tied in with the release of the new Disney/Pixar film “The Incredbiles.” It’s being aired in between the network’s regular programming (in lieu of commercials, which the DC don’t do), hence the title “interstitial.” I turned on the Disney Channel today and it’s all over the gottdamned place. So odd — something that started inside our heads…is now out there.

It was a hoot to write and produce, and all the kids were marvelous to work with — I would work with them all again in a second. Best memory of the shoot? My 13 year old daughter face as she watched me waltz across the Disney parking lot with the positively darling Ricky Ullmann. To give you a clue as to her expression — just imagine, if you will, watching your own mother cackling and dancing with Simon LeBon or Davy Jones or Kurt Cobain or (insert your most favoritest teen dream crush here.)

Umm…yeah. Priceless.

Anyway, next up for Disney: Hopefully a film idea we have — which is classic, vintage, ol’ school Disney. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Oh…and if you watch very closely today, in a couple of them you just might get to catch a glimpse of Le Muffster as “Dottie”, the 1940’s throwback telephone operator with a bouffant and an attitude. Some mighty surreal stuff, this having your face and work beamed out over the entire planet. I think I may need another cup o’ joe…with a vicodin back, even.

Thanks for listening.

She has the mouth of a Teamster, and her patron saint is Rocco (pestilence relief.) Ms. Bolding lives in Southern California, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", the compilation zine, "Mamaphiles III: Coming Home", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com.
