Cut

Cut

I just scored a short film for a director out of San Diego.  The film is called “Cut,” it’s a 7 minute film that had almost no dialogue.  I don’t want to give too much of the film away (since I haven’t talked to the director about it), but it’s a dark piece.
I needed something that [...]

Smile Time

Smile Time

Yo, blog people.  It’s me.  In fact, that’s me up there.  Although my kidneys are working, so I’m not as jaundiced as that guy.  Also, my head is not quite that round and disembodied.  And I have eyebrows.  But the smile is mine.  
It’s been a busy few weeks.  I’ve met with some great filmmakers and [...]

Across the Desert

This is where I spent my weekend.  I went to Albuquerque to visit my mom for Mother’s Day, and see a friend while I was there.  It was a exhausting trip, but well worth the drive.  There are a lot of exciting things in the pipeline that I haven’t had a chance to talk about [...]

It’s Just A Number. But it’s Damn Big.

It’s Just A Number. But it’s Damn Big.

I just posted my 10,000th tweet on Twitter.  I’ve only been on Twitter since October of last year, so the fact that I reach that number in just 6 months means I never shut up.  My Twitter account was created as a place to network with other film peeps and generate business, but it became [...]

Rooftop Inspiration

Rooftop Inspiration

This has been a loooong week.  I won’t go into details, suffice it to say…. it was a long week.  I was on set this last weekend, to try and take my mind off said personal problems, and there were a lot of key scenes being shot.
Darian Weiss did an amazing job in the rooftop scenes, [...]

Bandwidth is A Harsh Mistress

Bandwidth is A Harsh Mistress

The site was down for about a day and a half, in case you were wondering.  I attempted to upload 80 mp3 cues in one day, and link them all back to the player on the “Music” page of the site.  Apparently, this used so much bandwidth that I was stealing it from other sites [...]

11:11 Shooting, Day Three
