Up for Air

Well, one small change leads to another but I've finished (I know, I know) the final cut of Will Barnet: Tracing the Soul of the Work. Now, it's on to the next film as I await the public premier of Barnet on the 22nd.

Today I'm off to see the home and studio of Cabot Lyford. Looking forward to getting to know Cabot a bit better and to possibly beginning a film with him. Of course as was the case with Will Barnet and currently with Charlie Oakes, the initial investment of some of my time is only the first step. The hard part is the funding search that follows, that will allow the continued work and ultimate completion of a project.

Trail Marks

Started a series of photos of the trail markers on the trail up Mt. Battie, thought I'd post a few here. Happy trails!

The 100 films . . .

In this blog I'll be writing about the 100 films that shaped, in some way large or small, who I am today. They won't be presented in any particular order and not all of them will make this list because they are great or even particularly good films. Perhaps some will be represented for a tiny, seemingly insignificant scene or line – something that I carry with me each day, while others will be here because I can slip into them like a well worn sweatshirt that you slide on when you're feeling down. Some will be works of art that continue to challenge, enlighten, or amaze me while others will be included simply because they continue to entertain me viewing after viewing. To others, some of films that will appear here might be considered great while others . . . well . . . might not be considered worth considering. Anyway, here it goes. Hang on my friends, the new year is here and I am off and running.
