Sorry I’m Late

Soul Food

Upon checking my email last Wednesday I found this simple note from my friend, Just A Name. News Flash: Quentin Tarantino has agreed to introduce the 12:01 am Dome show on Thursday night for INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. I logged into the theaters website and bought 2 of the less than 10 seats still remaining. Having heard [...]

Fire & water & blood

We had been talking about it for almost a year. Last night and into the early morning hours we finally shot it. We spilt fire and water and blood. I wish I could share some screenshots but I won’t. Saving them for the end result. I think it will be good.

What is R3TUAL?

I don’t know where this stuff comes from. These ideas. I think that the thing I’m most scared of in life is that someday there wont be any more ideas. For me, that is. Hard to believe that I made this over 4 years ago now. I was an inch away from calling it off. [...]

The 2009 DP Reel

The awesome thing about photography and filmmaking is that you never stop learning. There are always new challenges and new opportunities to express yourself. Here’s the new DP reel. The music is from my good friend at the Dead Beat Project, which I highly recommend if you are looking for awesome original scoring for any [...]

Ground Floor Prospect

Since this is the week to dig through and post the archives then this is a must. One of my all time favorites. The guy on screen is one of my oldest friends here in California and definitely my oldest collaborator. We have made many movies together (and we have a few upcoming projects still [...]

MCLC

I’m very proud of this little movie. It represents to me the peak of the work I was doing during a certain period of my life. It was commissioned to play during the grand opening of a school, almost 3 years ago now. The mayor and lots of other local political types attended. I co-wrote [...]

Boy|Man – Festival Update

This is cool. Boy|Man will be in two more festivals next month. And they’re good ones. Our little picture will screen twice in the 2009 Waterfront Film festival. This is actually one of the country’s top rated festivals and we didnt even submit to it. They invited us to participate. We’re very grateful. The festival [...]
