The First Noel
The First Noel by Alex Wilson and Jack Lucido Pseudo-new standalone webcomic story for the holidays: The First Noel.

At the end of 2004, director Jack Lucido rang me up about doing something for the Triad Indie Film Network's first annual "Fruitcake Film Festival" out in Greensboro. I wrote two, and Jack directed them: A drama ("Felt Its Worth") in the 3 minute category and a comedy ("The Three Rs") in the 10-second category. The ten-second film still holds up well, I think.

"Felt its Worth" however was a series of stills, "La Jete"-style sans the moving shot that might legitimize our piece as actual cinema. While I'm still impressed with what Jack did with my point-and-shoot still camera and informal shot-list, all that was negated by sappy editing and worse music (my fault, both). So two years roll by and I think: let's play to the project's strengths.

So light a candle AND curse the darkness with The First Noel.
