I will continue to blog the big news here though of course.

Currently I’m writing a two projects attached to different actors - but I can’t talk about either one of them. I’m editing the most recent spot I directed for Sebastian… but I can’t show it yet.

Allucinari just signed on to do work for Mercedes and do all the visual effects for a TV show for which I’m under NDA on. So - as you can see… I’ll need to wait a bit for the big news.

Look for an article about a project I did in the next Creative Cow Magazine as well. www.creativecow.com

Allucinari also finished the FX work for a FOX TV show and a project for Sebastian - but I’m not going to use this space to talk about Allucinari projects. I’m only mentioning the mobile video because it is the beginning of a number of mobile projects we have.

Latin for “Wander in the Mind.”

This change also reflects my own personal focus on directing while my very talented and unique team of artists will lead the design and effects efforts to new levels - ideally - on the same projects.

What do you have to do to get on national radio?

Well, apparently being a pescaterian who has never drank alcohol and doesn’t own a TV is enough.

A few nights ago I was accompanying Kelly Hu to her taping of the national show “Loveline with Dr. Drew.” I’ve gone to a few of these shows and you end up just watching, chatting during the commercials, then acting as body guard on the way home if necessary. It’s fun and you meet nice people.

Tonight was a little bit odd, the DJ, “Striker,” and I started talking midway during the show and he thought it was strange I said I was a “pescaterian” when i turned down the sausage pizza and then the producer mentioned to him that I had never drank alcohol (we’d been talking and somehow it came up) and then when somehow it came up I didn’t own a TV - he said “you want to be on the show?”

So, there I was for a few minutes of my 15 minutes of fame talking about my all my odd habits. When Kelly came back on, she commented, “Yeah but he can’t keep a box of cereal in the house for five minutes.”

I do wish I’d been present of mind enough to give a little of my theory on why I don’t drink to give it some context, but - you know, I’m new at this, so I forgive myself. When I tour the nation with my movie I’ll know better. Plus we sort of got onto some other subject about how it was strange Kelly’s boyfriend and my name were almost identical. But they were all very nice and I had a good time. It’s good to know though that my eccentricity may be a good marketing angle.

On this page will be listed any significant news as well as occasional thoughts on filmmaking, writing, design, technology and anything else that I might normally post elsewhere.

There are three other main pages with links on the left navgation bar - biography, movies, and quotes. And on the right you will find archives of past posts by date and category, RSS feeds, as well as a few sub pages which might not be ready as of this posting but will be forthcoming.

I hope to see you again soon.
