Set Sail - 11.11.11
Good morning. It’s been a while since my last entry, or to be more specific, it’s been sometime since I sat down and creatively wrote from the heart. By origin I am an artist by any means necessary. But sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the wind, and it feels like I’ve thrown out my anchor some time ago. I’m just waiting for it to catch some proverbial ground.

Nostalgia pt.2 "Family Ties" 7.11.2008
Another entry from 2008. CONTRAST. ALL LOVE.
—————-
As previously stated, I have been spending more time with my family. Two days ago I picked up my pops and took him to Hollywood, I gave him the tour, re-visited familiar stops and what have you. Mind you, my Dad has a disability due to his former addiction to drugs. Basically, he has a hard time getting around....

Spent the entire day with my DP. Had an ultra productive day, went out locating gear, finalizing shot lists, locations, all that awesome madness.
Later in the evening the team reconvened @ headquarters and discussed scheduling. Had a nice chat about set design… Below is a “rough rough set sketch” by our wonderful production designer Albert.
Unfortunately can’t tell you...

Paul, Zooey and Rashida
Paul Rudd, Zooey Deschanel and Rashida Jones in ‘our idiot brother’ taken from my iPhone then reframed while I was still sitting in the theater. Sorry, I couldn’t help it. The thumbs up was way too awesome not to capture.
And I love the three of them. Awesome cast. Great film. Funny. Endearing. Relaxing. Sort of felt like an Alexander Payne production minus the haze filter on...

Just Added! NEW "WORKS" PAGE
As all insomniacs operate (with no sense of direction), I found some time between 4 - 6 in the morning to redesign my “works” page.
I think it looks good, didn’t want to clutter up the entire page with a sh*t ton of videos - so I present you with 6 out of the 20 something up on our vimeo page.
Aside from producing and becoming hyper stressed on the business end of the...

Blessed Beyond Measure
Welcome everyone to another chapter in the saga of my semi-interesting life. I cannot stress this enough, but, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sticking it out with me as I continuously dip in and out of a literary absence. As odd as it may seem; Life and Times in Hollyweird has seemingly weaved its way into the mass paraphrasing queries of “would-be” screenwriters from all...

Since our last meeting, I have moved into nicer digs, obtained a steady and kick-ass job, tore my way through an ugly relationship and most importantly; overcame some serious health issues. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the few who have stuck around...
