Traveler
Two prints I drew for Cassie Phillipps of WebWallflower Events on her birthday. I was pretty happy with them so I though I’d share.

“Trash and Progress” Screening!
I had an altogether surreal and incredible evening the other night hosting a private screening of my feature film “Trash and Progress” to the friends and families of the many talented people who helped put it all together. It’s been a long time coming with plenty of ups and downs, so I was happy to finally get it shown and feel really proud of the finished product.
As I entered the theater to make a quick introduction, I found myself humbled and overwhelmed by the support and enthusiasm of so many friendly faces. I stumbled through a few words of thanks and sat down to let the movie speak for itself.
Overall, a great night. At this time I’m filling out submission forms for a number of upcoming film festival deadlines. Here’s hoping.
Movie stars Maryssa Wanlass and Sam Richie looking fantastic as they pose with our wonderful producer Ari Ali. Behind them is the film’s poster looking a bit washed out in the light.

All these photos, by the way, are courtesy our talented production photographer Luke Goodman, who came to the rescue with a camera on very short notice.
Thank you so much, everyone who came out to see and support our crazy robot movie!

“Cadaver” in the Media
The short animated film I worked on in 2011 is picking up steam after its festival debut at the Santa Barbar International Film Festival this past weekend. I’m told it was well received and reaction posts on a few websites seem to agree. Take a look at the following posts about “Cadaver!”
MTV and Deadline posted about the film and its unique use of the Neil Young song “Heart of Gold,” one of my favorite elements in the film.

Additionally, Santa Barbara Seasons and the Metacafe Entertainment Network (MEN) both saw the film and have very positive little writeups.

Next up the film will screen at the Cinequest festival in San Jose. I’ll be there this time, if you live in the area you should think about checking it out during one of the short film lineups: WED 2/29; 3:45PM (C12) FRI 3/2; 9:15PM (C12) SUN 3/4; 1:15PM (C12)

Woolf
Some friends and I participated in this years 24 Hour Film Race in San Francisco. The conditions were to make a short film entirely in 24 hours (7pm April 29th through 7pm APril 30th), using the following elements:
Theme: “Identity Theft”
Item: A flower
Action: Answering a phone
Other than that we were free to be as creative as necessary. The result is “Woolf,” a quick but hopefully entertaining animation piece. Very little sleep was had. Let us know what you think.
