THE MOIRÈ EFFECT - a new short film by Ted Arabian

Sorry to hear the production is being cancelled and even more so to hear you are having some troubling times. You seem like an awesome guy though Ted and perhaps one of the nicest and most genuine people I've ever encountered on this giant interweb. Keep your head up man and I have no doubt you'll get through this one way or another. It goes without saying that anything you need - we're here for you man! :)
 
Hope things clear up for you Ted. I certainly made my entry under severe duress as well, and if it wasn't for Joe never would have done it at all.

Chin up!
 
Ted, I hope things get better. You seem to pop in, make a comment, and split. Sounds like things are rough but possibly improving.

I hope your family and friends are doing well.

Hang in there!

Mike
 
Sorry to hear you're going through a rough time and had to cancel this, Ted. :( I hope things start looking up for you soon and you're able to finish it someday.
 
Dude, total bummer. Hope things get better quickly on the personal front. I know we were all looking forward to seeing more of your work and especially this particular gem.

Good luck man, and if you ever do complete it, let us know and we can have the Moire Effect-Fest!

Hey brothers! Thanks once again. The support here is awesome.

Okay.... so you don't trouble your heads trying to figure what the hell is going on with me....

My wife and I are getting divorced.

This is particularly hard since neither one of us saw this coming. But I have been unhappy for a quite awhile now and I think that a large part of that unhappiness is being married.

I do love my wife so much. She is the kindest and most honest person that I know. She is very special and has been very loving to me for our entire 12 1/2 year relationship. And this is what makes this so terribly hard.

My intentions are to finish a job here in NH (June 26 or so) and then drive across the country to LA. I am intending to visit my parents in Texas for a bit and to visit my brother in NoCal for a bit before heading into LALA-Land.

I hope to drop in and meet several dvxusers along the way.

That's where things stand right now.

Thanks again for the phone calls, PMs and posts.

You guys are great.

-Ted
 
Hey Ted,
I too am in the middle of a divorce, I was with mywife 8 years, married 5. I know how difficult it can be. My thoughts/prayers are with you through this time. Jasonthewho (5 worst days dir) and I want you to make a stop in our area or meet up with you in your stop in Texas. PM one of us (or both).

Hang in there brother,
Dustin
 
Dustin, I am looking forward to meeting both you and Jason. Waco should be on the route.

Thanks Mike. I am working on it.

..........

So, this is a general call out to you dvxusers in the Austin, TX region as well as the San Francisco region.

If there is a paying gig happening that I can partake in, let me know. As things are right now, the month of July will be in Austin, Texas and the month of August will be in NoCal.

Also, I'll be putting up my trip plan soon. If my trip happens along your town or city, hit me up.... I'd like to say hello in person.

Jason Ramsey, you are on my list!

Ted.... That sucks, man. I wish you the best.

You are more than welcome at my humble abode. But, you'll have to make a swing down to Alabama :) But, from there, you can just take i-10 through texas and all the way to cali :)

Hope things work out like you want them too.

Later,
Jason
 
Sorry to hear about this too Ted, but I bet it will be for the best. I always tell myself the really cool happy times wouldnt be nearly as cool and happy if there hadnt been some really bad times too.

Should be a fun trip visiting friends and family and such though. I'll have to see how July pans out I may try to swing down to TX and meet you and some of these Texan folk.
 
Ted-
I feel your pain...I to went through the same thing 10 years ago...and to make it worse, I had a 2 year old & 6 year old (it's really tough on the kids). But, thing have a way of working themselves out. Hang in there and allow yourself to morn, don't hold all that stuff in.

Always try to look at the bright side (there really is one, just hard to see at the moment). I was married for 9 years...and I have to say, 7 of those were absolute bliss...and I was blessed with 2 beautiful, well adjusted children. Wouldn't trade that for the world. A lot of people go through life never having know the joy & pain I've experienced...I feel it makes you a better person.

I know you don't know me from squat...but if you need to vent or just want to chat, please feel free to PM me anytime.

Best of luck...and don't lose touch...this site needs YOU!
 
Dustin, I am looking forward to meeting both you and Jason. Waco should be on the route.

Awesome! I have my number at the bottom of my sig when/if you need it! Stay strong and like someone said before, you are a unique individual that I've come to respect a great deal here in our little community. Kinda like a big brother that I want to hang around and learn the ways of film from. There isn't much to do in Waco, but we'll find something to do with you!

Dustin
