Did my guest speaking at the Upper Arlington High School yesterday. I love teaching. I say that a lot, but it’s a very affirming vocation to me. I teach part time already and it never feels like enough. I don’t intend to sound arrogant, but I’m a good teacher. I’m Read more…
Got another Tech Tip for FRAMELINES finished. Shot at the same time as the last Sonnyboo Podcast, and knew exactly what I needed to do because it was basically the live presentation I did at the High School a few weeks ago. Will start to market this piece midweek, both because Read more…
I have a few things to edit this weekend. How much of it I get to versus watching a movie marathon of some kind remains to be seen. I could watch the epic MILLENIUM TRILOGY, extended cut style and lose 9 hours. It might be a mini-Marvel Marathon with THOR-AVENGERS-THOR Read more…
Finished another Sonnyboo Podcast, this one might cause some controversy. It isn’t THAT controversial, but because people (like myself) think they are right on a very subjective concept, it will probably stir some pots. My intent was not to cause a stink, but I have a great deal of passion Read more…
Got my 2nd post to trend on REDDIT. Same image I used on FACEBOOK (exact, as in it is a link to the Facebook post). It’s a positive message about making movies from Kubrick himself, one I have believed in from before I ever heard it. Apparently, 90% of people Read more…
Feeling a bit more balance in life. Getting work done for myself in the midst of paid film/video work means a lot. Carving out time to watch movies or long form TV (not much different cinematically these days) too means I’m doing something right. Tack on domestic improvements, the semi-annual Read more…
Shot a new tech tip, a new Sonnyboo Podcast, and another segment of FRAMELINES, plus closed captioning on 2 more episodes, almost ready to deliver. All this excluding my paid work and teaching 3 classes this week. Oh, and I also finalized a new MOFA-FRAMELINES roundtable segment, uploaded now, controversy Read more…
I wish people would stop TALKING about support and actually SHOW it. Go to each others screenings. Hit the “like” button, the “♥” on Vimeo, or the Thumbs up on Youtube. Say something nice about someone’s getting into a festival or winning an award. These simple, quick demonstrations of support Read more…
I finished and released the new Sonnyboo Podcast and this one is hitting pretty well. Over 250 views in less than 24 hours makes me feel good. Even more so, the reaction to hit has been phenomenal. Well, that is outside of my own film community. Film forums in NYC, Read more…
Starting compiling new episodes of FRAMELINES from what we have completed and edited, deviating from the structure I endeavored to maintain. I adhered to the 5 segments with dedication. At this point, I just want new episodes finished and delivered for broadcast. We have some great material that might not Read more…
I can’t keep up with all these ups and downs. I’m trying to do my thing, off in my own world. Life has curve balls that derail efforts to just make things, create moving images that somehow mean more than their individual components. I have something to say with movies. Read more…
I’m about to watch a great and hardly seen movie called SMILLA’S SENSE OF SNOW with Julia Ormand, Gabriel Byrne, and Richard Harris from 1996. Given how popular GIRL WITH A DRAGON TATTOO hit, this northern icy European mystery starring a wiley female lead will hit the spot. My brain Read more…
