I have been involved in filmmaking since around 2001 when I volunteered on the set of “Barberian Poet”, a film that hasn’t been finished yet.

World Trade Center. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it, but for some strange reason I am pretty compelled to read and watch things that are about Sept. 11th. I don’t hold any particular relationship to New York City or to the events of that day, but I like to soak up...
Generally speaking, I love movie previews because I love movies and I get excited about upcoming movies. However, sometimes, the previews mislead you some just to boost ticket sales. Sometimes there will be scenes in the preview that aren’t even in the movie… that is the worst offense. Sometimes all the good parts are shown...
wow, I’m stoked for this movie. I was a huge Ninja Turtles fan back in the day. I guess I did grow out of it, but I still have a dear spot in my heart for the turtles. (click here for the teaser trailer) Here’s the plot outline from IMDB.com. “Strange events are occurring in...
