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 [...]

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! 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 [...]

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.); [...]

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 [...]

Ahhh Siesta, a movie that has always left a lasting impression on me. The film is an adaptation of the fiction novel Siesta: A Super Natural Love Story by Patrice Chaplin starring Ellen Barkin, Gabriel Byrne, Jodie Foster, Julian Sands, Isabella Rossellini, Grace Jones and Martin Sheen. I was in 6th or 7th grade when [...]

Friday, September 26, 2008
Would you like to make a Documentary film but have little or no money for a budget? I did and I’ll share with you how I did it. I was reminded recently about the importance of sharing knowledge. Although I’m not a big Hollywood filmmaker (by choice), that doesn’t mean that my methods and particularly [...]

Thursday, September 25, 2008
This past spring I flew to Florida from New York to film my latest two documentaries, Our Side of Joy and Charise: A Portrait of an African American with Albinism. I’d filmed my first documentary back in 2002 but I was very new to filmmaking at the time. That doc turned out pretty good but [...]

Ahhhh dare I rip this beloved movie apart? … Actually I’d love to for the simple fact that so many people blindly love it. This movie delivers socially horrific messages with pretty pictures. First things first; I had a problem with the whole process of creating certain types of men based on a desire to [...]
