After much deliberating, reshuffling — and turning this list from a “Top 25” to a “Top 50” — I present my take on the best films of the decade. Some of these films are based on how they affected me at the time I saw them (throughout the past ten years). It could possibly be that seeing them now would change my take on it (and the list). But I like to think that these had the biggest impact on [...]
The ever important ending to a film is no more evident with THE BIG BLUE (dir: Luc Besson – Le Grand Bleu). I remember seeing the American version on VHS and loving it. Then I picked up the European version (director’s cut) on DVD years ago. Very different endings — both of which I can see the point being made. As a filmmaker I definitely prefer one over the other — and would have done it no other way myself. [...]
A new website was launched for WHAT’S UP LOVELY — featuring some cool new features: up-to-date news coverage and press links, a live tweet-feed (if you’re into Twitter) and a whole bunch of other goodies like the new trailer and links to all of the ways to keep track of the film. My brother did an amazing job helping me create the site design and layout while I worked on creating some of the new images you see at the [...]
Just a few standouts when I think about everything I’ve seen throughout the years. These are not simply scenes I remember — they truly had a profound impact on me and on how I view the art of filmmaking. There are many more but we’d be here for hours. Handpicked from each decade of my life: When I was 10….(spoilers if you haven’t seen it) In My 20′s In my 30s
Updated: (Fri) March 5, 2010 Yes I admit it — I am a follower. This is for y’all in the Twitter-dome. Basically on Fridays, it has become a tradition to list those important tweeters in your life that you wish to share with the rest of the network. It’s called Follow Friday. It has helped make me many connections around the globe. For the most part, people simply list the Twitter ID of who they follow and nothing more — [...]
My article “A LOVELY Test Screening” for the NEW BREED is now featured on THE WORKBOOK PROJECT. The NEW BREED is a group blog centered on all things associated with DIY filmmaking. It features a host of film projects in various phases from script to screen.

While visiting my folks in California for Thanksgiving, I decided to see if my old Super-8 films were still laying around. Thankfully my Mom saved them and our 30+ yr old projector still worked (barely). I saw about 7 films from the late 70′s/early 80′s that I had done with my good friends from the neighborhood — memories came flooding back about some of them who are not around anymore — while others I am still in touch with to [...]
