Manhattan - Day 33

Up early this morning to grab a coffee and then back to my desk. Was eager to look at some of the footage I shot yesterday with Paul. Suddenly it's twelve hours later and I have my working cut of my first narrative short since "Birders". Know that I'll be polishing it in the weeks ahead but tonight, "How Do I Say This?" looks pretty good.

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.
