Filmmaker... geek.... liberal... 'round-about good guy.
Just watched the pilot episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. I enjoyed it, but... the show credits 24 PRODUCERS from EPs to Co-EPs to Consulting to Supervising to Associates, etc. Assuming they're all on payroll of some sort, this is the true bloat of the modern film & TV industry.

OMG! We actually shot on film today! Today marked the unofficial first day of filming for my new short film 'The Living'. Over the last couple of days we also had a cast table read and tech scout. Thank you to what is already a valiant cast & crew. Can't wait till the "official " first day!

Did I ever tell you about the time I worked on SPEED and got to hang out with Dennis Hopper's head? All while sporting a look and style of questionable judgment? Well, now I have. You're welcome.

Before flying home, I stopped by the still thriving shrine to Adam Da Woo. I never had the pleasure of meeting this pioneer of vlogging, but I have come to know those who loved and were inspired by him. I feel their pain and know the loss is a profound one. Travel well, Adam. Perhaps we'll yet meet.

I'm definitely over the Avatar films, but the artistry of Pandora at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is undeniable. The detail and beauty is worth a visit every time.

Boss, I have this idea for a new Christmas ornament. Picture a pastel colored dinosaur…
What kind of dinosaur?
A T-Rex. Kids love the T-Rex. But with longer arms?
Why the longer arms?
To hold a cake, of course.

I grew up watching The Ghost Busters on Saturday morning. Tracy the Gorilla was my favorite. Years later I got to meet good ol' Bob Burns the man inside that suit. I was over the moon.

I’ve been feeling pretty darn good about documentary filmmaking being safe from generative AI. Most people want realism vs. digital fakery in their non-fiction entertainment, right?
Then I hear about Glenn Beck and his AI George Washington. Ugh!
Or is Beck about to prove my point / hope?

On Monday we screened "Bob Gurr: Living By Design" for the good folks at Disney Animation. Today, Bob and I returned for a fun filled Q&A. Thanks to many but especially Howard Green, Tim O'Day and my fellow producers and crew.
