So while I have made two short films I have also written a few short films. Two of those I am going to shoot at some point, two I wrote for a friend who was going to see if he could get a couple filmmaker friends to adapt them. One was about a boy that… Continue reading Movie Sign

Failure
We all have those dips in our lives, those valleys that counter the peaks to remind us to enjoy the peaks while we have them. The rock in our shoe to remind us we’re walking. The cut at the edge of our mouth to remind us we’re smiling. We all have those moments. Some just… Continue reading Failure
The Faithful
As humans, faith is a necessary component of what keeps us going. Faith and hope serve as twin engines that push us through the most difficult times.

The Flags We Fly
There’s a strange scent of fire to the air these days. The scent of casual people sitting by the bonfire, beer in hand, and talking about burning it all down. This isn’t anything new. The punk kids did it, the radicals do it, the rebels do it, and anyone that’s ever been burned by a… Continue reading The Flags We Fly

MISTER CREEP – found footage review
It's interesting when you see how many found footage films are about people making documentaries about something and getting in over their heads. Like, are that many people MAKING docs these days? I guess in this case it's 'true crime' and that's a big 'thing' lately so...maybe? I guess? For MR. CREEP I credit them… Continue reading MISTER CREEP – found footage review
Day Job

Both things are necessary, are part of not just our cultural makeup but part of what gets us through the day to day struggles,… Continue reading Day Job
Pieces of Meat
We’re weird, as a culture. Strange, I might offer as a better term. Many of us pretend to be prudish, to clutch the pearls when we hear something ‘blue’, but the truth is that most of us like naughtiness. We like the dirty stuff. Why did porn really sink its roots into American culture when… Continue reading Pieces of Meat

I am sure that this is some ancient holdover to our days of surviving in the wilds of the world and needing to figure out ways we could make it through to another day. Our species are survivors and we adapt in order to survive. We… Continue reading The Danger Was Always Us
Nuance
When we’re kids we don’t understand the concept of nuance. We don’t get that the world is made up of gradients of gray and is rarely black and white. We need that black and white though, need to learn first that there is a difference between acts that are good and acts that are bad. … Continue reading Nuance
