I had mentioned this shoot a few weeks ago… 6AM mountaintop. Cold. If you look closely that’s ice in my beard. It was well bellow freezing. I was woefully under dressed. And feeling stupid since I have a closet full of very expensive, rarely used top fo the line outerwear. I’ve been here 10 years [...]

I’ve been here 10 years today. Here being California. Los Angeles. Hollywood. These places seem more a state of mind to me than something geographical. But so much has changed in my life.

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 [...]
