Dietrich, a short that I wrote and produced, is an official selection of the Film Festival at the 10th Annual Phoenix Comicon! The short was directed & edited by Todd Fowler and is an over-the-top noir-esque nod to live-action comic book adaptations.

For some reason, the new edgy seems to be boring the living crap out of the audience. I don’t know when this started, but it seems to be a pattern that emerged somewhere around 2004. Movies and TV shows have found new and interesting ways to slow plots to a crawl, mysteries never seem to resolve, [...] Wow! I can’t wait! I’ve been a fan of Doctor Who for such a long time. I love what Russell T. Davies did with the series, and I bet Steven Moffat will rock it even harder. And judging from the newly released trailer from BBC America, I think that [...] We hear it all the time, that TV over the Internet will destroy cable, satellite, and broadcast networks. We’ll stream programs on demand to our mobile devices and the world economy will collapse into rubble because no one will have any idea how to monetize it all.

I had to post it up on the [...] The Oscars have been given out and ‘The Hurt Locker’ brought home the gold.

It looks absolutely fantastic. I loved the original TRON and this continuation looks to have all the markings of a terrific film. I love how they did a sequel and resisted doing [...] I found this little gem via Filmmaker Magazine. If you’re like me, you’re psyched about the new Canon Rebel 550 T2i coming out in a couple of weeks. It’s about $800 bucks and has a sensor that rivals the wonderful RED One. True the RED is a superior camera in many different ways, but the T2i [...] Last Saturday The Guardian published an article titled ‘Ten Rules for Writing Fiction’ consolidating advice from noted authors such as Elmore Leonard, Margaret Atwood, Helen Dunmore, Richard Ford, and Neil Gaiman. You can read the entire piece here. There’s some great stuff… some you might have heard before, but it’s always fantastic to hear it from [...] It’s happened to all of us. We’re watching an action TV show or movie filled with car chases, alien attacks, secret conspiracies, running gun battles, explosions, and all types of other loud, crazy things to get our blood pumping. The plot builds, we get excited about learning more, and then it happens. Our hero’s cell phone [...] |
