My Blog

Everyone Look at Me

I feel this blog is pretty appropriately titled, since I'm basically going to be an attention whore for the duration of it. Which, granted, is not unfamiliar territory for me... but I suppose that's w...

Spin 6: A Retrospective

The year was 2003. Cinematically, we were both two thirds through the Lord of the Rings trilogy and on the cusp of what was sure to be a mind-blowingly amazing pair of Matrix sequels. And yet we were,...

Ten Albums from 2007

So here we are yet again. My favorite part of the year. That magical time where I can not only pretend that I have some sort of cavernous knowledge of music from the past year but that I'm also in som...

Incu-gasm 3: One Day in LA

Welcome to the conclusion of an epic trilogy. I find it appropriate that an adventure that began when 2007 started is still going strong here at the end. I certainly don't hope this is the end of this...

Melody: A Short Film

Many of you will most likely be asking..."Didn't you already post this exact blog?" Well, yes. Two weeks ago the gang and I participated in Apple's Insomnia Film Festival where teams of 5 from around ...

The Collection

They say everyone collects something. Actually, to my knowledge, no one says that but it seemed like an appropriate way to begin this blog. I never really thought I collected anything because there r...

The Simpsons Movie

It actually seems pretty damn weird to be writing about a Simpsons movie. Let alone one that's due in theaters worldwide in less than 24 hours. At the start of this month when everyone (myself includ...

The Archives: Volume I

YouTube is actually a pretty amazing thing. Expecially for a purveyor of independent (read: amatuer) video production such as myself. Gone are the days where we had to dream up artsy bullshit reasons ...

Nowhere Fast @ SAUFF

Once upon a time, I made a movie. My 4th feature length movie. It's called Nowhere Fast. If you've known me more than 30 seconds, you are fully aware of its existence. It was written, shot and complet...

Juxtapose

jux·ta·pose transitive verb : to place side by side, especially for comparison or contrast. Right. So, first things first. Everbody, meet Jim. Jim lives in Wisconsin and has the rare distinction of be...
