As Star Wars the Force Awakens is about to come out, the cross promotions with branding is yielding a ton of amazing commercials, something that was missing from the prequels and even the marketing therein. I am an avowed Star Wars fan. The first movie I ever saw in the theater Read more…
The difficulty of maintaining inspiration evades at times. My health keeps nosediving, derailing my energy and focus. It’s nothing too serious, lads not to worry. Enough to knock me down, just not for the count. Scripting continues on the short film next on my deck. Looking like a January shoot Read more…
Screenwriting has begun. Storyboard and concept art started last night. Delays may have just hit, but I stand ready to cope. More prep time is not bad. I just do not want to allow myself to get derailed. When inspiration hits, you have to take the lumps. Got 2 interviews Read more…
Man, do I feel a fire burning inside. I’ve gotten a ton of prep done on these upcoming little shoots for the Tech Tips, just got done with a story meeting with the writer for the next short on deck. I set the deadline for a draft of a 7 Read more…
We shot a new roundtable, panel discussion last night for FRAMELINES, this one on Cinematography. This time we live switched in 24P, a first for us. A Good time was had, work was a joy, and there is less post than ever on this. The only problem was, that I was Read more…

I love the International Indie Gathering. It’s a film festival and indie film convention combined into one. I come every year to this event and have a blast. I worked so much this past week, between edits for 3 different companies, wrapping up several projects, teaching 3 classes, and dealing Read more…
Got another edit for me done. Only one more in the queue that has been shot and not edited. After that, I will need to start getting back to my weekly Greenscreen habit. In the past several months I have outlined several more Sonnyboo Podcasts, some funny to me, others Read more…
I’ve been ill again. It seems having a compromised immune system isn’t much of a picnic. A simple cold can demolish me along with a simple cut gets infected inside of a day. And sleep can be quite elusive at times, which makes the recovery take longer. I hate getting Read more…
