You Still Want to Do This?

Dec 6, 2008 |

I was thinking back to when I was on the Burn Notice set. I was already working most of the day, and they were running late and shooting until midnight. When we finally wrapped, one of the Assistant Director's, thinking the late shoot must have been a shock, asked,...

I Was Kung Powed

Dec 5, 2008 |

I plan to elaborate more on today, but in short production came to a halt due to brand new digital technology being finicky, General Tso chicken attacked my leg and car, and an actor was thrown a little too hard into a wall at the police station we're filming at,...

In Production: Day 1 – Off to a Good Start

Dec 4, 2008 |

Here Piggy, Piggy, Piggy

Nov 23, 2008 |

The days of Farmer Arable and Wilbur are long gone. One of the main locations in Undercover is a pig farm, where a Muslim cop goes undercover to find a missing pig. So, as Producer, I need to find this pig farm. In the process of this hunt I learned about the state of...

Reassurance (And Why I’ll Remain Behind the Camera)

Nov 16, 2008 | ,

If you survived the 2 years in Film School, you'll do fine in Hollywood. Said by Ali Bell, visiting alumni. Sorry I can't write more, I'm in the midst of a perfect storm and potential breakdown (Update: storm has passed). But on another note, I should probably remain...
