The 48 Hour Film Project 2013

I just had the most fun weekend ever!  It was the annual 48 Hour Film Project here in Asheville, were you have to write, shoot, edit and finish a short film in one weekend! They give out a prop, a character and a line of dialog that must be included in the movie and each team picks a genre out of a hat.  We picked horror film, but ended up making a comedy horror called "Nosferatooth" about a vampire with a toothache.  We had an amazing cast and crew and ended up with a really great movie.  If you're in the Asheville area, you should come to the screenings at Asheville Pizza and Brewing off Merrimon Tues at 10pm, Wed at 7pm or Thurs at 10pm.

Here's a little sneak peek at the movie:

I won 2 Emmys!

I just picked up two Emmys this year for a news promotion I worked on with David Saich and short form directing!  I'm so excited to be honored for my directing work.  I've always loved being a director and to get that kind of acknowledgement from my peers, feels amazing! 

I'm so blessed and so grateful to all my family and friends who have given me their love and support my whole life. Every artist has to survive their share of rejection and criticism and through it all, it's friends and family that lift us up so we can keep striving for excellence.  If you know an artist of any kind, give them a hug and tell them they are awesome because sometimes they forget and it's you who keeps them going.

I went down to Atlanta for the awards with my good friends David Ostergaard and Tina Herring.  They are both tons of fun and we had such a great trip.  David also won that night for a commercial he worked on and you can see the elation in this behind the scenes video I put together:
