Anna – Trailer

“Anna” is finished! After a rather lengthy and totally unnecessary beginning, the final 2K scans were re-edited, color corrected, and married to a new 5.1 soundtrack. Now there is a viable DCP ready for projection and ultimate viewing.  It’s as good as it’s going to get. Most importantly, this means it is actually finished for […]

Anna Post Nightmare

Attendees of my screening in 2009 were treated to an apparently once-in-a-lifetime event: the only screening of my 20 minute short, “Anna.”  This is due to the film having originated on 16mm, having been transferred to DV, and screened in standard definition.  Who would possibly screen standard def in 2009 much less today?  It’s a […]

Rhythmus 93

From the Naked Rabbit vaults comes this retro-garde homage to 1920s experimental filmmaker Hans Richter. Richter made a series of highly formalist films, each with the name “Rhythmus.” The numbers attached to them were to indicate the year in which they were made. But Hans either got confused or wanted to claim earlier authorship – […]

Anna Soundtrack

Not many people have seen “Anna,” my short narrative film from last year. It’s a bit long for the internet with a running time of 22 minutes. So you would have had to have seen it one of the various screenings last Spring. The main title theme was a little melody that had been thumping […]

An Image You Won’t See in My New Film

Sometimes when you’re working on a project, accidental images are created. Here’s one of them:   How did this happen? I had isolated the upper portion of Christina’s face so that I could do some motion tracking on it. I was trying to match the skull beneath to the face on top. This meant tracking […]

The Book is OUT

Apparently you can buy my new book at a store. I can do it, too! Major bookstores everywhere have it (try Barnes & Noble, Border’s, etc.), but the trick is that you have to look in the COMPUTER section. This is probably very smart marketing – the book is, after all, concerned with getting your […]

In Production Now – “Big Dong”

No, it’s not at all what you think. It’s not what anyone thinks. No one can get a handle on this film – it’s like a combination of cheap Mexican and Chinese comedies, but it’s really only the trailer for it. Another live-action short – surreal, but actually funny. Coming Soon. Photo by Michelle McMillan.

The Special

A new live action short! Kevin Sherman stars as the creepy father in this brief tale of a talking biscuit. Not based on any kind of true story, this film feels, nevertheless, like a lot of our dreams. Mine anyway. The film also stars Brandon Lee as the distressed kid, and features the inimitable biscuit […]
