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 [...]

6 in 5 over 3

What does the title mean? In the last 3 weeks I’ve spent 5 days shooting 6 music videos. I’m tired. But it’s been both fun and challenging. We’ve shot on rooftops, in a studio. Gorilla style in downtown LA. In dingy desert motels and on dusty deserted highways. The photo below was taken by producer [...]

Casting, Color & Cold

It’s hard to believe we’ve been in Idaho for over 5 months. Time just fly’s by. The leaves are changing every day. In southern California we don’t really get seasons, it’s hot and sunny, then it cools off for a few months and rains a little and then it’s hot and sunny some more. So [...]

Kill your TV

For about 15 minutes I wasn’t gonna say anything. But since I talked so much smack on here about the TV show I was gonna be on I better fess up… I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while. Several actually. Two to start. Is this confusing? Anyways. Several Fridays ago, on a [...]

Back to LA…

I got a call last night around 6:12pm. It was an unfamiliar 323 so let it go to voice mail. But it turned out to be the “show” I wrote about a few posts ago. It’s looking like I’m in. Looking like I’m gonna be on a plane back to LA sometime in the next [...]

Travel

When I was a kid it was a pretty big deal to go on a plane. I was always excited. But this year I’ve been on more planes than ever before in my life. I’m over it. I’m tired. I could not see an airport for a long time and be just fine. Tweet

Furious Casting Part Deux

Ahh… Eight hours in a 90 degree room… Casting is so much fun. But the cool thing is, we actually found 4 or 5 really good people. So now we take the tape back to the money and revue. And hopefully we don’t have to cast again for a while. I had my little meeting. [...]

Furious Casting

I don’t like casting very much. For every talented, well prepared actor that shows up there are six who don’t prepare and three that don’t show up at all. You do the math. I’m tired. But as frustrating as it is, I find it inspiring as well. I can’t wait to get back here in [...]
