• My Own Private Humpday

  I’ve been on a mission to complete my next screenplay sooner than later. Because of this, I’ve become a hermit (yet again) to make sure a draft will be done by early next year so I can workshop it with some close friends (who just so happen to be talented actors — yes I’m lucky). So the good news is I’m on page 58 — almost over the hump — just about to complete the last piece of the puzzle [...]

  Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That

  Nothing against this film or the people involved……but I just feel it’s so unrepresentative of how the world is now — at least how I see it: CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE This is a bit closer…. And I’m not even try to self-plug my film. It’s just to show that Hollywood still has a lot of people in power in place that are not used to seeing anything else…..and probably live in a bubble (or a gated community).

• 100 Films To See (If You Haven’t Seen Them) – Part 1

  I met a good friend recently to talk about the screenplays we are both developing. As I was discussing mine, I referenced a ton of movies to him. Surprisingly, he hadn’t seen about 75% of the films I mentioned — yeah I’m old — so he suggested I put together a list of films for him to watch. So here’s the start of that list. These are mainly older films that aren’t considered too mainstream or in the recent minds [...]

• Film Class

  I can’t wait to see SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE this weekend and soak up some new lessons from Danny Boyle. His film career has been hit and miss, but the one thing I really admire about him as a filmmaker is his ability to move seamlessly from genre to genre.
