All you can JET?!
Wow. Props to JetBlue on some creative marketing and a fantastic deal. I’ve always been jealous of flight attendants and those with the in connection who can fly wherever they want whenever they want.

Rhode Island, more press, and a respite from insanity
This week has been an absolute whirlwind. After hosting a conversation with Sophie Barthes and Andrij Parekh of Cold Souls, I headed on a morning train to Rhode Island to catch the film festival.

I'm Back
Ladies and Gentlemen who have been dutifully following my blog, I apologize that there has been nothing to dutifully follow. I have thrown myself into a number of terribly exciting endeavors, which I will explain over the next few days.

Effects shot for Imaginary Friend
I created this several-second shot for a friend a few months back. Scenes like this one are difficult for a filmmaker because, unless you have a very big budget, you can only create a hole in a wall once. This means that some scenes have to be shot without the hole, hence the need for…
