I’m going back to Wadsworth soon. I know I was just there. I’m looking for answers in the past. Maybe looking back can help me find my way forward. Right now, I’m willing to try anything, ANYTHING to get out of my funk. Plus it never ever hurts to have Read more…
Holding true to my promise to watch one movie a night. I think movies are like dreams. The great Walter Murch often spoke on the idea that motion pictures mimic the human experience with sight and sound. The only aspect that made no sense for our daily experience was editing. Read more…
The Cell Phone Monologues compilation won the Grand Prize at the Westerville Film Festival 2013! Prizes included a $50 gift card to AMC Theatres and additional gifts. This was the first annual film festival and competition and the films were a last minute addition to lineup!
Already planning an escape. Later this fall, I need to get away. Not sure exactly what I’m gonna do, but I know that I must get rest, take time away from everything, and just chill out. Got a few pieces of bad news yesterday, so just when I think things Read more…
FTP ain’t working the way it’s supposed to. Trying to get these files where they need to go and the ‘puter ain’t cooperatin’. Makes me frustrated. Really frustrating with deadlines staring down at me. What good is fast internet at home if the files all reset as soon as they Read more…

So, after 9 days, Facebook starts emailing me. I’m getting messages stating “9+ friends have posted statuses, photos and more” Thanks Captain Obvious! Was I under the mistaken impression that the world stopped moving just because I wasn’t logging in? These emails remind me of a crack dealer showing up Read more…
I can’t get my head back in it. I have things to do, a long list of projects, and I can’t seem to get my brain back into the mode of doing any of it. I’m all alone in this dark place, like I’m locked in a basement with no Read more…
Started the fixed Closed Captions out to tape, working them in-between the big job. Found out why one episodes got rejected – it had the wrong captions for the wrong episode! That was bad. Not sure how many deaf filmmakers are watching the show, but I’m incredibly sorry about that. Read more…
And life rolls on. ‘Connecting’ with people virtually through a machine via sites like Facebook isn’t really connecting as much as a filtered interface where you can pretend to be something you aren’t to impress people who are equally creating a facade. Now I don’t have a girlfriend or a Read more…
Here’s a terrible realization. I’m no longer particularly relevant. Less than a week off Facebook and it’s as if I don’t exist in most people’s lives, even those I was somewhat a part of for a time. Strangely, this has nothing to do with my sabbatical from the Face, but Read more…
