New Films
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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), [...]

Exercise: Create a self-centered, insecure, character using a narcissistic voice. Place the character in a corporate setting where he or she expected a promotion but did not get it. Instead, the promotion went to a person your character does not respect based on some frivolous trait the person has. Be sure to include thoughts and [...]

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 [...]

I’d like to take a moment to talk about how I made these two documentaries; “Our Side of Joy” and “Charise: A Portrait of an African American with Albinism”. I’ve gotten some e-mails asking about equipment and process, etc. Equipment for these two films: This was obviously something I spent days and days planning because [...]

Well I’ve started work on the first trailer for “Charise: A Portrait of an African American with Albinism” and all I can say is “WOW”. There is just so much to cover. It will be interesting to see the final product of both films for general audiences. I imagine I will have to cut a [...]
