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.

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. [...]

How strange that in two days I would have been affiliated with two items on RadioJavan. My friend Behnam Mokri publishes this online magazine every few months.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Its been a full week. The camera got to go for a ride a few days ago.
