About Me


Being disinclined to start yappin' about myself right now, I'll put some biography stuff in here later.Being lazy, I probably won't get to it for awhile. But one of these days.Being just a wee bit evil, I'm lying about getting this done.Being sleep-deprived, I just blew my cover. Dammit!

My Interests

Making films, finding innovative and screwy uses for familiar technology, and damn fool idealistic crusades.

I'd like to meet:

Competent production crew and people that amuse me. Maybe some henchmen, or preferably henchwomen. Ability to shoot straight a must, Stormtroopers and Cobra troops need not apply.Anyone with a case of weapons-grade plutonium they're willing to part with is welcome as well. You know, for uh, medical purposes. Yeah.But mainly I'm just here for the bloggin' to fill anyone interested in on progress with some indies.

Movies:

Probejackers (in limbo) Cold Dead Hands (production) DisUnion (pre-production)

Television:

Don't watch tv. If I want bad writing and plugs for products I don't use I'll go to a poetry reading at a coffee house.

Books:

A great deal of history, military history to be specific. After all what is human history if not the long chronicle of who is fighting whom and why?

Heroes:

All those who came before and, having seen their fight was hopeless and would only bring them pain and death, stood and fought anyway.

I Am the Walrus

I’m in a Barnes & Noble the other day, the one on the Detroit/Pointes border, just minding my own business reading something mildly subversive when I became aware that they were playing "I a...

Filmmakers do it out of sequence

No, that’s not a joke about skipping foreplay. That would be like skipping pre-production, only& dammit, now I’m off on a tangent with the first sentence. And for some reason "fix it in p...

Mean Time to Failure&

These are my figures, your mileage may vary. HD camera (JVC) - 3 years. Combat boots (Altama)  3.5 years Cheap Tires (China) - 3 years (to catastrophic failure) Marriage  5 years Twinkie  shelf l...

Lyrical Mishaps& and Warm Fuzziness.

Finished the last of the media linking early this morning, problem solved through patience and anger management. So I edited CDH for a while until my mind started to wander and I began making stupid ...

Link Media&

I am in a dark place at the moment. Yes, I'm in my multi-monitor ozone-producing Batcave (saving the planet, one render at a time) where I do most of my film-related work that doesn't involve locatio...

Writing Insomina and Theological Nit-Picking

So I was lying in bed, trying to get some sleep and finding it to be impossible as this story would simply not shut the hell up and leave me alone until morning. I kept running to the next room to mak...

Crash. Christ. Cookies.

Okay, I lost some CDH stuff. My fault for being careless. Fortunately I had almost everything backed up. The exceptions, a few effects shots that I created on the fly, had to be reconstituted from th...

Random Thoughts...

So I filed my federal taxes. Is it too much of a political statement that I used a stamp with Stormtroopers on it? How weird is it that our country actually has stamps with Stormtroopers on them, and ...
