Now everyone has their own set of rules of what and how they want to communicate via the web. I use MySpace mostly for listening to new bands and keeping track of gigs via bulletins. I reserve Facebook for my actual friends, mainly because I’ve got some friends on there that I’ve known since Junior High School. I’d rather not share those old stories with someone I just met at a networking event. In those cases, I stay linked to the business contacts, new and old, via LinkedIn. And for me, Twitter is all about the RSS feed.

the reason I’m writing is because of Michel and his desire to direct a feature film. This was way before “Human Nature” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” He wanted to direct a feature film and at the time, the one he wanted to direct was “Green Hornet.”

The music/reality television pilot “Stone Cold Sober…In Music City” is picking up steam and it looks like we’re headed into production later this Spring. I’m excited because this is a project I’ve really wanted see get off the ground ever since Michael Catalano introduced me to Brian Adams and Jared Blake over six months ago. [...]

The Sundance Film Festival of 2009 wraps up this weekend. I almost went this year. I even purchased a festival pass, but after watching the Inauguration Tuesday on television, I don’t think Park City, Utah was the place to be this week! Of course, I didn’t know that last month when I changed my plans [...]

Earlier this year I started my own production company Unconventional Media, LLC. I was very lucky that Director/Production Designer Joseph Hodges from “24” ask me to produce the Electronic Arts (EA) video game, “Need for Speed:Undercover“. I produced all the Live Action segments, the car racing stuff is all animation. The first trailers for “Need [...]
