BOY|MAN continues it’s festival run at the Women’s International Film Festival. More information when it becomes available. Tweet

We’ve been going to the movies a lot in the last week. And not paying. I think we’ve saved close to a hundy by not paying. And a hundy saved is a hundy earned. Last night we saw “Doubt”, before that was “Revolutionary Road” & “Milk”. All exceptional works of cinema, a fact reinforced by [...]

We didn’t win. But we didn’t expect to. And cliche as it sounds we were very honored just to be included. This is the second festival boy|man has been in and although it was much smaller than even the one in Idaho, it was a far superior experience. Ramon, Jennifer and the rest of the [...]

Last night Dani, her mother and I went to the opening night of the Santa Clarita Valley Film Festival. It was “VIP” night, and invitation only. We didn’t really know what to expect, only that boy|man was showing at some point. But upon entering we were handed a ballot and were surprised to see our [...]

This morning our good friend Michael Broderick, Dani, Charity and myself took a long caffeine and beef jerky fueled drive out to the desert to scout locations for an upcoming project. I love the desert. Dani and I did the lions share of the scouting though. Mike had his mug glued to the screen of [...]

We’re excited to have Boy|Man as an official selection at the 2009 Santa Clarita Vally Film Festival. This year’s festival will highlight short films made to be enjoyed by all audiences. I’ll update with screening times and all that fun stuff as soon as I know. Tweet

Many many years ago I enrolled in this cool little acting class in Hollywood. In that class was a young man from Arizona who wore the same brown UPS shirt to class every week. For like 3 years strait. No Joke. He’s still wearing that shirt about every other time I see him. John Michael [...]

A few days ago, on our way to Alissa’s Birthday Party, we got news that Corpse Run has been invited to participate in the 19th Annual Cinequest Film Festival as part of the New Visions Competition, where it will be eligible for the New Visions Award and the Audience Award. This is pretty cool because [...]

So here you see Dani working as Director of Photography on a little spec commercial last night. And by my humble estimation she did a fantastic job under difficult(wet) conditions. I put some more photos in the GALLERY, filed under “SHOOTERS“. The extent of my involvement was somewhat less grueling. I vowed to not touch [...]

So here it is. All 8 Minutes and 28 seconds of it. Whittled down from almost 90 minutes of footage we shot on the drive home. I was trying for under 3 minutes but couldn’t do it. We crossed the country nearly from top to bottom, border to border. We hit a lot of bad [...]

When Dani & I started Present Day Pictures a few years ago, this is one of the first things we did together. It’s a little profile of infamous photographer Justice Howard. Justice is a true one of a kind. A real artist. And these words I use not lightly. She’s also a hell of a [...]

Jedidiah Hohf made this little video while we were shooting Boy|man. Jed was half of our “crew of two”. As you can see he even operated camera on a few shots where Dani wasn’t tall enough. It was pretty cool to see his photography, video and lighting skills improve over the 6 months or so [...]
