    FLYWAY FILM FEST Pubcast

    At the FLYWAY Film Festival, I had the opportunity to sit down with some great guys and do my very first “pubcast”.  Many thanks to Matt Gamble (WHERE THE LONG TAIL ENDS) and Andrew James Olson (ROW THREE) for taking the time to speak about my projects (NEW YORK LATELY, WHAT’S UP LOVELY….and…?) CLICK HERE TO HEAR THE INTERVIEW The film bloggers have been incredibly supportive.  I just hope the next film lives up to their expectations.  No pressure.  No [...]

  • LOVELY update from the mancave

    LOVELY update from the mancave

    It’s almost been 2 months since my last update. If I had updated about  it — it would’ve looked similar to this: “Editing in the man cave….Did some more editing in the man cave…Went and shot B-roll….Did even more editing in the man cave…Got a few pickup shots…And…..yet again editing in the man cave…” Nothing much more than that.  But the great news is that the picture is 90% close to locked now.  Just need to send it off to [...]

  • NEW YORK LATELY at the FLYWAY FILM FEST (Pepin, WI)

    NEW YORK LATELY at the FLYWAY FILM FEST (Pepin, WI)

    I am going to be attending the Flyway Film Festival in Pepin, WI for the Midwest Premiere of NEW YORK LATELY.  The festival director Rick Vaicius has put together an impressive program that I am very much looking forward to. My film is included in the local filmmakers programming block (I was born in Rochester, MN) — which I’m sure some festival goers may find a little odd that my film takes place in New York.  The other local films [...]

  • Beyond the Canon

    Earlier this year, I was kindly allowed to participate in Iain Stott’s BEYOND THE CANON poll where the task was to select up to 100 films that I believe to have been under-represented by film history — excluding the established classics. Previously, Iain ran a similar poll asking participants to list their 50 Greatest Films of all time which is a fascinating read — and very educational to see what other cinephiles are thinking. Without further adieu, here are my [...]
