Hello one and all. Haven’t had much going on on the new moviewatching front…actually, on the old moviewatching front either. I don’t know, with the exception of a couple of recent movie nights with some friends, haven’t really had the inclination to watch much of anything, either at theatres or at home. But hopefully that’ll […]

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 […]

Hello all. We’re getting to the point in the 2006 movie awards season where the preliminary awards are separating the contenders from the pretenders, and the major awards (starting with Monday’s Golden Globes) will be building up to the Oscars. Before the major madness sets in, though, I wanted to go ahead and post my […]

After two years of astonishing productivity, it all came to a halt. In all honesty, there really wasn’t much in 2006 that felt right, least of all in the creative department. We’ll get to that in a moment, however. First of all, I have an announcement. During the summer I submitted the electronic version of […]

“I need to move I need to wake up I need to change I need to shake up I need to speak out Somethin’s got to break up I’ve been asleep I need to wake up now” The above is the chorus of Melissa Etheridge’s “I Need to Wake Up,” the song that plays over […]

Well, October has come and gone, and with it my annual horror movie marathon. 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 […]
