I had the same experience a few weeks earlier when we premiered our documentary, “Houston We Have a Problem” on March 27th at AFI Dallas. The film, directed by Nicole Torre of New Angle Media is about the Oil Barons, Wildcatters, and roughnecks and their long struggle to feed America’s ferocious oil appetite. A real inside look into the oil culture and just how the country became so addicted to oil. The good news is Houston and many of the oil honchos believe we must go “Green” for a secure domestic energy future. The film played very well with great reviews on KERA (local PBS station) and even on IMDB. I was asked to be on a panel about documentaries and the effect of online media, joined by “Rock Prophecies” director John Chester and Pete Schuermann of “Haze.” Monitored by online S writer. The end discussion was covering the sticky issue of what is considered fair use. Once again, I enjoyed participating and learned some new things, as well as met some great new contacts.

The man is prolific. He’s got [...]

So the long story short, Jeff has a wonderful training course for directors, cinematographers, editors, production designers called One On One Film Training. This is not a film school, but a confidential consulting and mentoring program that teaches visual storytelling. It doesn’t matter if you have a feature film or a video short, a TV commercial or music video, the process is the same. How to tell the story!
