The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

iheartcomix Showcase at Beauty Bar

Thursday in Austin was a looong one. I shot the Carniville and then headed over to Beauty Bar for the iheartcomix showcase, which went til 2am and included artsits such as The Very Best, The Toxic Avenger, Men, Acid Girls, Juiceboxxx, Hollywood Holt, Ninjasonik and a bunch more. There was also a rad appearance from Bill Murray, who stuck around to watch Hollywood Holt and Ninjasoik before being mobbed by the crowd for photos and autographs. I held back and gave the dude his space. I guess I'm not cut out for the TMZ world we live in.
