Arctic Sounds

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 Posted in on topic | No Comments »

I realize that this website's been around a while now without me actually discussing what this movie's about.  In the coming weeks, I'll try to fix this somewhat. I'll start with the official synopsis: ---------- Shot in Oregon and Washington with a dedicated ...

About myself, Arctic Sounds

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 Posted in on topic | No Comments »

Now that I'm just about finished making Arctic Sounds, I figure that I should tell you all a bit about myself, about my first feature, and about how we made it. When I was 10 or 11, I read Rebel Without ...

Wrapping up

The final cut of Arctic Sounds (with sound and whatnot) will be done by December--still no luck yet finding a real job.  Things are going ok otherwise though.  I started the process of submitting the movie to festivals, so I'll ...

Hey gang, I'm making a final version of the movie, fine-tuning and re-editing a few things until I can feel that my work is done, editing-wise.   I'm also looking for a job (the kind that pays me money).  Both of these ...

I've been editing for about a month and a half now. It's going well. Slow though, obviously.  It's getting faster, but I'm probably at least another month away from being done with something that other people can see. I just ...

the blog returns

So, the blog's back up. I took it down a while ago, and meant to put it back sooner, but I got distracted. It's back now though, and I'll fix the "about" section of the website next. ...

So, now there’s a website.

And a blog, which is a little silly. Originally, I just needed a place to host some files online while I and a slowly growing group of collaborators pushed along in developing a feature film (we'll start shooting in June, but ...
