"The Last Possession" nearing completion!

I spent almost a week in Austin with colorist Cory Berendzen finishing up the color on The Last Possession, a feature I shot outside Dallas last year.

I had a great time in Austin, even though I spent nearly all my time in a dark room at TBD Post. It was a great facility filled with awesome folks, so that made up for the fact that I wasn't out exploring and enjoying Austin more than I did.

I've spent the last few weeks going from Orlando, to Los Angeles, to Milwaukee, to Austin, and now on to Phoenix and New York. It's going to be a crazy season for me, and I couldn't be happier!

Adidas Commercial Online

I was visiting one of my favorite websites (cubs.com) earlier today and saw an Adidas commercial I shot last January on the front page!

Pretty rad!

In the Rubber Room

So I'm set to shoot this feature film based on a true story about teacher reassignment centers in New York in the fall. It's called In the Rubber Room, and the producers are doing something really cool.



Please check out the film's Seed and Spark campaign page to learn how you can help!

The Best Little Feature Film in Texas

I recently had the pleasure of returning to my home state of Texas to shoot a feature film just outside of Dallas. This has been a dream of mine ever since I left to come to L.A. over 11 years ago.

I cannot describe how it truly awesome it was to take the skills and friendships that I have cultivated in L.A. and put them to use back home.

It was a blessing getting to work with an awesome crew of locals. I can't thank them enough for all their hard work, and I hope I get another chance to go back and do it again.

And, with any luck, you'll be able to catch The Last Possession in a theater near you!

"Out of Print" News

OOP played in 35mm at the Crest Theater in Westwood on October 19th. I wasn't able to attend, but I'm told the print is absolutely gorgeous. It then played the following weekend at the Filmshift Festival in Boston and was very well received. Look for more screening info soon!

Oh yeah, and here's a picture of Julia Marchese and I receiving our Programmer's Award at the Sidewalk Film Fest in Birmingham:

Sidewalk Film Fest 2014

Last weekend I had the pleasure of showing Out of Print at the Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham, AL, and had THE BEST time I have ever had a film festival. The venues were great (including the very amazing Alabama Theater), the other filmmakers were a joy to meet and hang out with, and it was seriously the most well-run festival I have ever been a part of.

I will recommend this film festival to every filmmaker I meet from now on.
Oh yeah, and Out of Print won the Programmer's Award!
