The Year in Cell Phone Pictures
It’s been a great year, and I thought I’d be clever (what with all the uproar and all) and sum up 2012 with Instagram pictures.
2012 Goal Recap – How did I do?
Every year I blog goals, and then how I did with them. I wrote more about goal-setting on my Creative COW blog, but here are my goals from 2012 and how I did. 1. Focus on post-production work and seek out more narratives and/or documentary work. I enjoy working on sets, but the end of […]
Why Hobbits Are Important To Me As a Filmmaker and Human
Earlier this year, I wrote a blog about the movie that had the most impact on me as an editor in response to my attendance at Editfest NY. In the post, I stated that Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring was my first instinct, but it was a wrong choice if we were […]

Usually a younger editor is asking about a specific certification, and a dozen industry vets jump in and go on and on […]
Keeping Up with Editing News
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 […]
Films Take Forever – My First Feature (The Impersonators)
This is an on-going post-production diary I’m keeping while I cut my first feature film, The Impersonators, an indie comedy. I just realized it’s been two months since I last updated about The Impersonators. The reason is because there hasn’t been much to say. Or so I thought. You see, everything has been going really […]
