Hey Vimeo!

Gracias to Pottyboy for pointing me in the direction of this site. It's free to sign up, and they allocate you 500mb a week of upload content. Their compressions and are very good and you can also upload and view in HD! Very sweet! Maybe this is where Okay Great will make it debut...it's 20 minutes long and most sites only 10...I'll have to see what Vimeo allows. You don't have to be a filmmaker or wannabe You Tube dipshit to post stuff. If you have kids and want to post videos of them for friends and family who live in other parts of the country, use sites like Vimeo, Meta Cafe and Revver for quality alone. You Tube is good for getting lots of random views, but the quality is shit.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I've been tracking this film for awhile and my excitement is only heightening. It's a love story, but not your typical love story. The man, Benjamin Button (obviously), played by Brad Pitt is aging backwards. Yes, that is the premise. I don't know much more only because I don't want to spoil too much. To make the film that much more intriguing, it's directed by David Fincher, written by Eric Roth and Cate Blanchett co-stars. Oh and it's based on a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Any for anyone who cares, it's being shot digitally- just like Fincher's last- Zodiac.

Dewey Cox Rocks

I've watched Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story twice now and I almost pissed my pants on several occasions and any poorly timed sips from my soda could've resulted in spitting it all over the place. Writer/Director Jake Kasdan and Co-writer Judd Apatow make a very smart choice in the tone of the film. The action is played deadpan, but it's funny as hell. Molded after such biopics as Ray, Walk the Line, The Doors and even Don't Look Back(instant street cred), Kasdan and Apatow also take little bits and pieces from real life rock star and incorporate it into the script. The fun is trying to spot them all- good luck there's a ton. They also made the right choice in casting John C Reilly, though I biased because I've been a fan of his for a long time (and his last name is pretty fucking cool too!). Jenna Fischer is terrific as well and there is a great supporting cast behind them and one of the coolest, and out of left field cameos I've ever seen- and the performance is funny as shit. See if you can spot it- it's not obvious. The cinematography is outstanding, which was another inspired choice on the filmmakers part because most comedies don't go out of their way to create Academy Award winning photography. Definitely check this out.
***Note- Make sure you watch through the credits.

Okay Great

I've been fine tuning Okay Great and screening for friends and crew members looking for some feedback. I'm essentially done. I'm really pleased with the film but now comes the tough part- finding a composer to score the film. The music I used in the film is pretty out there, it certainly isn't your typical score and trying to replicate the tone is going to be difficult. A really talented audio mixer named Mike Ryan is going to mix the film for me for basically nothing and he is also putting his feelers out for a composer. I have a few other friends sending emails to people they know, so if any of my 1 or 2 readers knows someone who is a musician or music composer and is interested in taking on a challenging piece of work for little to no money (sounds appealing, right?) please send them my way or give me a shout with their info. Muchos Gracias!

Copper Mason

My friend Jamin Bricker co-wrote and directed this short film. It's actually the beginning of a webisode series which he shot the first 3 episodes of over a weekend in May. Erin Rosa produced the film and she was my co-producer on Okay Great. It's whacky and fun- check it out.

Coat Hangers for Strait Jackets

The title doesn't mean anything, I just like it. I suggested it as the name for our production company at work, but we didn't end up changing the name, so it's a title waiting for a home. Since I'm going to post a bunch of random shit, I figured I'd throw it out there. Maybe it's the title for a short film...

So it's been 2 years, almost to the day, that I finished Edit This, so I thought I'd post it.

Can't believe it's been 2 years and I still enjoy it, which I guess is a good sign.

Also, after 7 long months, I have completely a pretty-close-to-finished cut of Okay Great. Between work, wedding planning, and life in general, I wasn't always able to sit down and grind it out, but as friend told me recently, it'll happen when it's ready. There's still some work to be done in the editing room, then get someone to score the film with original music and then do the final audio mix. My goal is to be ready by august to submit to Sundance and then wait for the rejection letter.

A few weeks ago, my fiancée and I went on our official engagement shoot, although we've been engaged for 2 1/2 years. Regardless, we are lucky enough to have Steve Depino and Carla Ten Eyck shooting our wedding and they both teamed up for the engagement shoot as well. We had a great day! Lost of fantastic pictures, (no surprise if you've seen any of their work) laughs, beers, and dinner to top off the night. I'll never be able to thank either of you enough, but know how much we appreciate your work and personalities and that we count ourselves as very lucky to have you be a part of our wedding day. If the pictures from the big day are half as amazing as the engagement pictures then we're in for an enormous treat. If you want to see our photos, go here for steve's and here for carla's.

I've been too busy to get out to the movies and the ones I have seen haven't left an impression on me. I watched There Will Be Blood again, which is on DVD and if you haven't seen that yet, you need to. Yeah that's right, you NEED to.

"Forty-nine Per-fucking-cent!"

Carla Ten Eyck sent me this after seeing it on Robert Norman's blog. She thought I'd rate high. She was right. And yes I am proud of myself. Apparently, my rating is 449% MORE than other websites who participated.
