Below are my notes from the one panel I attended at Full Frame - The State of the Doc. It's a little more cheerful than Mark Gill's outlook on independent cinema, though re-reading this now, some panelists seemed to be predicting what was going to happen. It was...

Peter Shankman’s “If I Can Help a Reporter Out” – Awesome Resource
Peter Shankman's "If I Can Help a Reporter Out" This is a very cool site for both sides of the story - the writer/documentarian and source. There's two parts to HARO. The main part is where anyone can sign up for the mailing list. A few times a day you get an email...

Last week I officially finished You 2.0, the doc that delayed graduation a semester, and self released it on DVD. It's a niche film, and I felt like it would work better just selling it myself as a DVD (it has a unique structure) rather than waste time trying to get...
BattleBots and South Beach
It's been a while and I'm sorry, but here's where my life in the real world is at: I'm officially done with Film School and FSU, got my diploma and everything. It was a weird last semester because I was editing and doing pick-ups for UnderCover and finishing You 2.0,...
Dolphin Bay – Video
Dolphin Bay from Joey Daoud on Vimeo. A few weeks back when I went up to the film school to take pictures at their Gala, I was invited to tag along to go swimming with dolphins and film it. Um, awesome. Gabrielle has been swimming with this same pod off the coast of...
