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 [...]

The film’s been on hiatus for over a year. A LOT has happened during that time. I’ve started and finished a [...]

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 [...]

20. October 2009
Hello again! First off, lemme give a real quick thank you to you guys for supporting The Shrub Whisperer. You guys rock! 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 [...]

7. October 2009
Here’s the director’s commentary of “The Shrub Whisperer.” I posted it on the Facebook fan page, but never on the blog. Here’s the original film for your perusal. And if you want to see a genuinely great short film, check out the classic “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Ridge.” It’s old and French, but other than that it’s [...]
