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 [...]

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 [...]
