Read this article on Creative COW >> I like writing. I always have, and I’ve always been okay at it. It makes a lot of sense to me when editors also write — blogs, scripts, whatever — because the tasks are so similar. It mostly comes down to constructing a story of some kind, and […]
USE THE PEN. From the moment I stepped in the door at BCM, that’s all I heard from Walter. It was like a nerdier version of Obi Wan Kenobi. (Is that possible?) My work station is equipped with a Wacom Intuos 4 (I think) — which is very nice, both the product and the fact […]
Self-promotion ahead! Which is funny, because it’s self-promotion about self-promoting. Maybe you’ve seen some posts about the Southeast Creative Summit. Maybe not. I’ll explain anyway.

It’s a slasher comedy called The Ballad of Sadie Grace, directed by Joshua Hull. It’s currently in pre-production with the lead role already filled by Bill Mosley, which is pretty exciting news in […]
I occasionally talk with younger editors about getting connected with the industry (most recently participating in another alumni panel at IUPUI) and one concern they always seem to have is how to start learning about all this stuff they need to know about. All the tech changes, information from editors, and general industry news. I […]
This is an on-going post-production diary I’m keeping while I cut my first feature film, The Impersonators, an indie comedy.
