Gilad Foss and I have broken ground on our new comic short, FINALLY.

After a series of set backs, rewrites, casting snafu's and more we knocked out the majority of the voice over. Gilad gave a great performance in the lead role and it felt great to direct again. It's been a while - to long.

We should be able to knock out the rest of the VO sometime this month. By that point I should have some character art to show as well.

Yep, this is actually new.

David Lynch talks about watching films on a cell phone. Clip from special edition of Inland Empire.

...You're going to hate this!

A modified short form of the Chen style of Tai Chi that was created for the movie "The Fountain."

This guys is also Lou Reed's teacher and considered a master of the traditional Chen long forms.

'nuff said.

The National Film Board of Canada is known for producing some of the best short and independent, animation in the history of the art form. Their program, Hothouse 4, brought together six emerging filmmakers from Canadian and two from Brazi to spend three months creating a very short film based on the theme “Chance Encounter.”

These films are now online. I recommend taking a peek. The work is short and the animation is inventive.

They also have a podcast.
