New Films

Thursday, December 11, 2008

Well I’m doing my Aries thing as usual. I didn’t shoot “Old Wounds”, instead I shot a video on how to make fake intestines for HowCast.com (so not worth it), and I shot a short film called “Anything”. This was originally supposed to just be a one weekend shoot but I think I’d like to [...]

Back to working on documentary, Our Side of Joy

Well I’m back to working on “Our Side of Joy”. I’ve been trying to figure out why I don’t just work on these two docs I have sitting here already filmed. I think I just don’t like editing. *smile* I can do it, yes. But I don’t like it. I think on future projects, if [...]

New Short Flim

I’m taking a break from working on my two documentaries to make a new short film. I was going to film a short called Old Wounds but I’ve had to re-evaluate the project. I spent all last night going over the script and determining what would be needed to film the movie. Ultimately now isn’t [...]

Halloween Movie Marathon

Every year I watch all of the best horror movies in film history. Well the ones I feel are the best anyway. I usually do these marathons towards the end of October. There are too many movies to watch in just one day; Halloween. So here is a list of the movies I have or [...]

Setting The Standard: Reclaiming the Art of Filmmaking

Thursday, October 30, 2008

0 Comments

What does the future hold for the art of making films? I’ve recently been visually consuming mass amounts of films from the 1950s to 2008 and all I can say is … WOW. It was quite disturbing to see the incredible decline in the quality of films in such a short time period. Equally disturbing [...]

Filmmakers Beware: Giving Away Your Work For Pennies

Filmmakers beware! I recently decided to explore the idea of being paid for video content. In doing so, I came across an article, Getting Paid for Content, by Sheila Curran Bernard. I’d originally been out searching for filmmakers who had actually been paid by Current.com for their work. I found none. Current TV was requesting [...]

Shia LaBeouf: Indiana Jones and the Death of Hollywood

Sunday, October 26, 2008

I finally had the opportunity to watch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and all I can say is, it looks like Shia LaBeouf has had his future film career handed to him on a platter(including his involvement in the Transformers movies. Yes they are making another one with him in it.); [...]

Predatory Filmmaking: A Reflection

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

When I filmed my first documentary it was on pure impulse. It wasn’t until I’d finished filming that I understood one thing. I felt a deep appreciation for those who participated in my film. They didn’t know me from a can of beans, yet they agreed to share the intimate details of their lives with [...]

Movie Review: The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

This film is one of those fucked up movies like Birth, The Professional, Bastard out of Carolina, Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song and anything with Dakota Fanning in it that seems to have been made by pedophiles. A Summary: A 13 year old girl (Jodie Foster, who looked 10 at the time but was actually 14), lives alone [...]

Movie Review: Mercy

Saturday, October 18, 2008

0 Comments

I can’t say this is one of my favorite movies however the ending earned this film a review. Mercy is another movie featuring Ellen Barkin and Julian Sands who were both in the movie Siesta. Don’t get me wrong, Mercy isn’t a terrible movie. It’s just really slow. If you have some time to kill [...]
