For All Mankind

You need to watch this film. It’s called “For All Mankind,” and it’s a masterpiece of documentary filmmaking.  It’s also an exhilarating retelling of the Apollo 11 moon landing. The film is constructed from about 6 million feet of footage (I took that from wikipedia, who said it was quoting the DVD commentary) filmed by NASA and [...]

In my last post, I updated you on the progress of my documentary “Razorwire,” which was recently pulled from “pipe dream” status back into “hopefully I can get this done before I retire” status. I’ve been reading through the transcript of the Me/Chadwick interview (this interview forms the narrative spine [...]

GO!

Way, way, way back, I started blogging to keep you all posted on a documentary film that I’ve been directing in my spare time since… forever.  It’s called Razorwire.  Some of you may remember that. The film’s been on hiatus for over a year.  A LOT has happened during that time.  I’ve started and finished a [...]

Sea Of Change

Two things: 1)  I got a full-time job.  I am quitting two of my other jobs, and then focusing on work, church, and Razorwire.  This happened REALLY fast, and I’ll be kind of working all four jobs for the next two weeks, but God is good and I am really excited. 2)  It looks like Canyon Ridge [...]

Nice Knowing You

I’ve discovered Xtranormal. Dear me, this is the end. Xtranormal’s a site where you can do everything that I’ve ever dreamed of doing–quickly, easily, poorly, and entertainingly.  It’s like QuickBASIC for filmmakers.  It makes movies.  All you do is type and click, and it makes you a movie. Here’s how it works: you log in.  You pick “actors,” these [...]

Interestingly enough, a week before The Shrub Whisperer was filmed, actor Jeff McGullion starred in my friend’s first “experimental” feature film Leverage.  The film’s director, Doug Winningham, just released the film on youtube, and it’s [...]
