It’s been too long (October actually), and there’ve been many a weeks with no work done at all, but a lot has happened since last I wrote about working on this short film. This won’t be the last time, either; things are just getting started for 2007. This week, post-production on the first half of […]

Snooch to the Nooch! As usual, there’s not much of a lead-in here. Just read below to see my thoughts on last night’s Oscars. Hope you enjoy! Viva La Resistance!

Snooch to the Nooch! The title says it all. Unfortunately, I’ve been too busy working on my music and film recently to go into my usual depth- and see all the movies up for Oscars- about the nominees (OK, it’s not THAT unfortunate on my end…or your end if you’re a fan of my music, […]

Started back in 2003, originally it was intended more as an excuse to trim down my Netflix Queue of several of the movies in it, but it’s now become a personal ritual that has deepened my appreciation and knowledge of one […]

OK, so it didn’t start out like I had hoped my last day of filming on the first movement of this “Thriller in Two Movements,” but it ended just as I had hoped, in that it is the last day of filming on the first movement of “Unwinnable Hand.” I didn’t do the alternate ending […]

Snooch to the Nooch! Well, another summer has come and gone, and I’ve gotta say, between full-time employment, artistic endeavors both cinematic and musical, and actually ataining a social life (since when did that happen?), I think I did pretty damn well as far as movies go. OK, in summer’s past I caught as many […]
