So. Cal.

Spent a few days in So. Cal. shooting a story for Outside (magazine) TV. Good to see old friends, eat tacos - not good to drive on LA freeways and see endless strip malls. Life is good and I got to hang our with Sean Ziebarth, I love talking with Sean, we like a lot of the same art and culture stuff. Peace.

Balls of Your Feet Filmmaking

While at The Sundance Film Festival this year I ran into old filmmaking friend David Leitner. We saw a film together and did a fair amount of chit chat. He is a great guy and an important guy in independent filmmaking. Last year he wrote an article in Filmmaker Magazine about video formats and the Canon 5d and mentioned me but I did not know about it till this year. Anyway it was an honor to be mentioned in a David Leitner article. Check it out here. I called this post "Balls of your feet filmmaking" because that is how I feel about shooting with a Canon 5D and that is one of the things David quotes me on.

The DODO Piece part 1

This is a work-in-progress by artist Jeff Decker. Check out my YouTube channel THE TALKING FLY tomorrow for short doc on Jeff and this Dodo Bird piece. This piece is a collaboration with Jeff and artist Robert Williams. Happy Monday.
