Piling up and directing a third time

Film challenges and sausages

Operating cameras and pointing lights

Wow. A lot sure has happened since the last post I wrote. The Fall semester ended and it couldn't have come any sooner than it did. I failed a couple of classes, but I actually did better in the other two than I expected. I think at least one of those is because my …

Losing jobs and gaining perspective

I am depressed right now. I've been trying to downplay it and cheer myself up, but there's no getting around it. This isn't an "I'm going to sit in my room in the dark and cry all day" type of depressed. I've just lost my sense of optimism. It's hard to wake up and face …

Nostalgia and visiting

Nostalgia is a bitch. Every day at work I see a lot of families. Lately it has been bumming me out when I see small children that look up to their parents with a reverence and admiration that only children know how to achieve. It makes me long for the old days when I …

Disappointments and opportunities

I haven't written a post in a long time so I figured I needed to write SOMETHING down before I put it off for so long that I would no longer feel inclined to ever write.School has been back in session for about 3 months. I'm actually close to the end of the semester …

Adieu to a friend and salut to new things

Quite a lot has happened since my last post, but none of it has been particularly interesting. Or at least that's what I think but that's probably just because I'm the one that lived it first hand. I've worked on another film, started school, said goodbye to a friend, …

Challenge failed and comment issues

Moving sucks. Last time I talked briefly about my thoughts after coming back home, but what is even more taxing and stressful is the physical side of it. We got an apartment on a second floor and it was a pain in the ass - literally and metaphorically - to move our …

Two months away and a film challenge

I really am not in the mood to write, but I had an interesting and revealing day, so I felt compelled to put it into words.I'll start by catching up on recent events. I've been away from home for about two months now. I forget if I ever mentioned it to anybody except …

Repost: Mellowing out about religion

Most everyone that has read this blog, and just about everyone I have come into contact with in the last year or two has known of my strong stance when it comes to religion. Because of that stance, I have gotten into argument with friends, family, and other …

Disclaimer and getting back on the horse

I really had no intention of writing an entry today, but something compelled me to. One of my older posts recently received a couple of replies. They were posted anonymously, but I have a feeling of who they may have come from. I'll start of by saying I'm sorry to …

Creativity and a new year

Procrastination is a bitch. I've been putting off writing anything for quite a while. And it's not even because I've been busy. I've been on vacation at my sister's in Los Angeles for nearly a month and I've done jack shit with that time. There was an infinite …

Shooting movies and class change

Hello. This blog has been a long time coming, but I finally have the time to write it. And I only have the time because I'm writing as I watch the Suns game. My time has been so consumed lately with film after film after film, that I barely have time to sleep. I …

Baby sister and pregnancies

Okay, this time I promise I'll cut back on all of the film talk. I know I'm the only one that's ever as excited about that stuff as I am. But you have to realize it's what I'm most passionate about in life. If I lose film and film-making, I'm lost. There's no Plan …

Film update and new training

Wow. It's been quite a while since I've let this much time pass between posts. I really shouldn't do that because now I have enough content to write a book. I have been ridiculously busy the last couple of weeks. As I've mentioned for a while, I'm keeping busy …

Californication quote and moving to Spain

Hello. It's been longer than I expected between posts. I still don't know why I even write anything ever, but I think it's more for me than for anybody else. Still, I'd like to know it has an audience. It's like if I go and make movies that only I'm gonna watch. …

Need producer and two links

Chances are I'm writing this blog in two parts. I'm really sleepy and tired right now, but I wanted to get a train of thought going before hitting the sack.Exciting times are coming. I've semi-officially started pre-production of my new movie. I say semi-officially …

Two weeks down and crew call

Whew. I finally make time to write this. I was meaning to write this earlier in the week, but just didn't make the time. I actually wrote a bit of it, but my computer crashed before I was able to finish.First things first. I wanted to ask everyone who reads this for …
