New, you're so new.

Meeting new people is amazing. Especially in an environment that is traditionally constructed as a happy time (i.e. a wedding). It sure as shit doesn't hurt that the swell is pumping monster-sized beautiful waves right on to the beach where the wedding is taking place! Woo wee! What an amazing sight to see and hear with your eyeballs and ear-balls.

I've already met so many new friends that share the same passion about film making and storytelling that I do so my excitement is exponentially miles above the rest. It's good to know that my future move to Los Angeles will be well received by friends and compatriots of similar walk.


Tomorrow's the big day for them. I've got nothing but happiness for my lucky friends that will be getting married tomorrow.

Lookin REAL Alive

DID IT. Wrapped production on my first independent short film. Designed the press kit, DVD cover and print myself. Submitted in time to the Temecula Valley Film Festival and the Ojai/Ventura Film Festival.

Whether we get in to the festivals or not isn't my focus. Instead, I'm far too busy counting the successes, recounting the production occurrences, and cataloging all of the experience I now have in order to make an even more creatively explosive future project!

Thank you to everyone who collaborated on this project and to everyone who supported anything to do with this piece or the people that brought it to life.


Excuse me, I have to go release my exponentially compounding excitement right now.

"A moment moving too fast to endure."

A Keyboard and Scoring on a Wednesday Evening

Amazing how this idea is traveling form person to person as if each imagination is connected through a string-and-tin can setup. Scoring today with our newest crew member went very well. It feels like this project is really pulling together now that the audio accompaniment can propel the cinematography. This pairing really helps drive the tone of the story being told.

This project has been amazing and I'm completely driven to see it through till the end. However, my anticipation mounts as our "Pitch Meeting" looms and a clear vision will emerge of the next project for production.
