[ETCETERA] The Dog Days of Spring
I didn’t write a post last month and was on the verge of missing my June deadline too. It’s so easy to get buried by life sometimes. For me it was a flurry of little things. Not all of them … Continue reading
[IN THE TRENCHES] Tortured Running Analogies
As the oft-repeated saying goes, a career is a Marathon, not a sprint. But really, pretty much everything – other than a sprint – isn’t a sprint. In the same vein, the most obvious marathon is an actual 26.2 mile … Continue reading
[SPOTLIGHT] The (Award Winning) Stinky & Dirty Show
March 22nd marked the drop of the latest episodes of Amazon Prime’s Emmy-Nominated, The Stinky & Dirty Show. Now, I’ve talked about this show a bit before, so what makes this drop so special? Simple: Me! Well, me and Rhonda … Continue reading
[THREE CENTS] The 10 Day Movie Challenge
So if you have the internet, you’ve probably seen this “challenge” over the past few months (years?) on Facebook. Maybe participated yourself. I was twice “nominated” (thanks Charlie Unger and Tim Bogart), but hadn’t taken the bait. Yet. The task … Continue reading

[THREE CENTS] But Does It Hold Up?
Back in college, I started compiling a list of my favorite movies. I was in film school, so watching, studying, and (over) analyzing movies was a considerably large part of my life. I’ve been much less active in filling out … Continue reading
[THE MAKING OF] San Diego Comic-Con 2017
As I roamed the crowded aisles of the San Diego Comic-Con, handing out Blowback bookmarks to the distracted and confused, the electricity in the air was both alluring and intimidating. The ultimate goal is to be here in our very … Continue reading
[THE MAKING OF] Sight & Sound Film and “Nightmare Mosaic”
Ah, film school. I imagine it’s a lot different today than when I went through it. For one – we shot and edited with actual film. Not quite chiseling on stone tablets, thankfully, but an entirely different experience than capturing on … Continue reading
