Just Won Best Film at the 48 Hour Film Festival

The movie that I just directed, shot and edited with the team "the young adults" just won the Best Film award at the 48 Hour Film Festival. That means we're going to the national competition!

In addition, we also took home Best Sound Design, Best Actress, Best Overall Line of Dialouge, and the Audience Award. I'm still on cloud nine! If we're chosen as one of the top ten in the next competition, our movie will play at the Cannes Film Festival. I can't imagine what the competition will be like, it's just so exciting to be in the running.

So where can you see this amazingly awesome film? Check it out on YouTube here:

Scapegoat Marketing Shoot

"Scapegoat" is my friend Dave's feature film. It's taken him about three years from start to finish, but he's finally there. He needed some marketing and publicity photo for his movie and I volunteered. I took these photos just before his screening. He has entered the film in the Sundance Film Festival and is looking into other festivals.

Pick up Shoot for Movie: STIFF

Shortly after my return from Pennsylvania, I went to the last little bit of shooting for the movie Stiff that we needed to pick up for a montage scene. This was probably the most fun of any of the shooting we've done. Nelson, the director, played a homeless man. Crystal, our make-up artist, did a fantastic job making him over.

My cousin, Paul, happened to be in town for a visit and though I'm sure he hadn't expected I would have him turned into a corpse for the shoot, this wasn't the first time he'd preformed for one of my movies. Way back when, he acted in one of my earlier works.

I just had a chance to view the footage and everything looks fantastic. I'm very excited about the finished product. This is going to be a fantastic movie.
