Finally. I directed a short film for myself. Almost three years since the last time I did that. I’ve been so busy and trying all kinds of new things. They say it’s like riding a bike. I say it’s more like a sport, whereas you can get out of practice Read more…
ALMOST ADEQUATE continues to grow, as well as Johnny Di’s NOT SO LATE SHOW. Which has all lead me down a road to some prosperity. I cannot believe how much of my time and income has converted to live directing. I knew my chances of winning an Emmy are slim to Read more…
Keeping busy. Very busy. Like nonstop. It’s been almost 5 years since my last vacation of more than 2-3 days in a row. I love what I do, but sooner or later, one must recharge the batteries. I don’t think that is going to happen to me in the foreseeable Read more…
Finally had a couple days off, then right back to it. This coming week will be the busiest I’ve had in a long while. Nonstop work feels good. I love what I do, so it never feels too much like work. Stress comes from unhappiness so that’s not really the Read more…
Even my weekends are jam packed! I am prepping cameras, 4 new LED light kits, the multicam and streaming package that are going out on a job while I am working a totally different gig on the other side of town. Next week is non-stop action. From early in the Read more…
So so busy. Almost non-stop production, post production, client meetings, and teaching. And in my off time, I just either chill out poolside getting much needed sun on my pale white skin or in a near catatonic state devouring Netflix at a voracious pace. On the plus side, I did Read more…
Has it really been almost a month since I wrote my last blog? Holy hell, it has. Aside from doing freelance work as a TD (Technical Director), I’ve been directing the live shows for ALMOST ADEQUATE with J.H. Nuber and NOT SO LATE SHOW with Johnny DiLoretto, so my dance Read more…
Screened my roommate’s feature film in the home theater last night for some people who worked on it. Scotch whiskey from Ireland was consumed. Grille charred the meats and men were men last night on this perfect Tuesday evening. The notion of making movies again just seems so appealing. I Read more…
My feelings turn towards a sad reflection. A friend of mine, William T. Miller from Dayton passed away. I did not know him too well, but we were definitely kindred spirits. I did his talk show a couple times (see below embedded video) and we got along so well. He Read more…
Took some much needed time away from the world this past weekend. I got lost inside of Marvel’s Iron Fist on Netflix. And I made time to reorganize my storage room for all my newly acquired and old moviemaking gear. Now that my Glidecam Crane 200 has been repaired, I Read more…
I don’t recall the last time I was this busy. Working multiple jobs for several vendors, drone shots, camera operator, editing on someone’s short film, publishing another book, and teaching. Your faithful narrator remains ever so occupied. So why not add to that by re-writing a feature film? There’s a script Read more…
Turns out directing live show has become equal to editing for my paydays. I’m getting booked up months in advance for different live streaming and broadcast. This skillset came from teaching at a broadcast school. I got trained by some local news guys who also taught at the same school. Read more…
