The case for a feature length movie

"Chase after the truth like all hell and you'll free yourself, even though you never touch its coat tails."
-Clarence Darrow

To call oneself anything is to, in a way, declare your identity.

About two years ago I changed the signature on my main email address to 'filmmaker'. And so it was, I became a filmmaker. Now when I surf the web in search of things I like, like documentary film, it becomes quite evident how many filmmakers there actually are out there. It never used to be like this.

To me, it's crazy how the web has changed the world. What was once a very selective, very difficult industry to break into is now wide open for anyone with a camera, a Mac, and some time on their hands. Well.. and the will to do it of course. There's no guarantee you'll be any good at it, but the opportunity is right there, staring you in the face, waiting for you to realize it. In 2012, it couldn't be easier, nor cheaper.

So now more than 2 years in, with the website launched and functioning properly, and quite a few short documentary movies completed, I believe it's time to take the next step. It's time to embark on a feature length movie. It's time.

Many more details to come.

Keep the faith.

Election 2012

I saw this video and, because I'm an independent living in Asia, felt compelled to share it.



As an American itt certainly feels real, especially from an Asian viewpoint. Maybe that's why it's been banned.

Keep the faith.

The Rich

I wouldn't want to be in his shoes.

Support for the middle class is gone, since the president must concede to and obey those who contribute campaign funds. In other words, the rich. In fact, 100% of all U.S. senators no longer represent the masses. Sadly, it's true.

Along with this, we have a fraudulent money system in place, that which is the Federal Reserve System. Simply put, it's designed to create inflation, and debt. And it's doing a heck of a job isn't it?

I probably should watch what I say, since one day I'd like to make bigger budget films, but nobody's reading this anyways.

Keep the faith.

Justice for North Korea

On a Friday evening not too far back, my lovely fiance Stephanie and I set out to attend and film a nice fella named Robb Lee at a fundraiser titled Justice for North Korea in Itaewon. I had met him a day earlier when my friend Elliott Ashby and I decided to team up and interview him for a piece we're working on for KRTV.tv.

The event turned out great. Robb's performance was terrific, and I also met and shot another talent as well which turned into an unexpected second story. Most importantly, the rain had mostly held off. We had driven up in Steph's Matiz so we wouldn't be stuck in Seoul until the trains started running again around 6am, and headed home at about 2:30am.

Long story short, the alternator goes about 2/3 of the way home. By that time it had started to rain, and we were on the 61 heading south (in Bundang if anyone is familiar, or is even reading this) which has a speed limit of 80km which no one follows. The hazards on her car weren't working, and the car stopped smack dab in the middle of the road exiting a tunnel. Thank goodness there were two lanes.

Cars were whizzing by as we weaved our way off the road searching for a dry place to call the insurance company. They answered in English, I couldn't really explain where we were, and the tow truck showed up within 15 min of my first call regardless. Amazing ser-vice-uh they have in Korea. Amazing.

Keep the faith.
