fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk

I can't sleep. like usual. I shouldn't have had that coffee earlier. but hey, why pass up something good when someone offers? Damn. I got a busy day ahead of me tomorrow. My boss won't be in class again so I have to handle the shooting of finals all by my lonesome. right after that I gotta shoot another house. This one is freaking huge. So huge that I had to do a dry run of the property just to get the idea of what I'm doing. Like this place has a horse stable also. Like I'm not complaining that I'm slowly getting busy. I just hope that its not too damn hot. I'm prone to heat exhaustion haha.

So I watched the movie Insidious. Written by Leigh Whannel and Directed by James Wan. Seriously these Australian guys are one of my favourite filmmaking combos. Leigh is an actor/writer with many credits to his name, like writing and starring in the original Saw film. As well as writing a few films like Dead Silence and Insidious. And James Wan is this little ass asian/australian guy that is a directorial BEAST. He directed Saw and this one really good movie with Kevin Bacon called Death Sentence. Seriously, Insidious is a really good movie. For a pg-13 film, this movie had enough suspense and dramatic tension to make even a salted horror aficionado cover their face with their hands like they're about to watch their favourite puppy get euthanized. (yeah, really descriptive haha)

But seriously.. watch insidious. If the visuals don't make the hairs on your neck stand on end, then the creepy ass film score will.

childish Gambino - Freaks and Geeks


just watched this music video from Derrick Comedy/ Community star Donald Glover. When I heard that he was also getting into the rap game, I didnt think much of it.. Until I heard this song and saw this video. I was like damn.. This is actually really good. And the video is really simple. A one shot, one take music video that did everything it needed to do. And that was to make Donald Glover look like a complete BEAST. I'l admit that I am now a fan of childish Gambino.

So this is Great Horned Owl, a musical artist from Portland, Oregon. Theres been some talking and hopefully soon we'll be able to work on a music video. Looks like I might be going back to Oregon again. Nothing solid yet. But definitely something to look forward to.

Baby Steps

Happy mothers day.


For some odd reason people have been saying that this video is having trouble playing sometimes. I have never had that problem... hmm I wonder what it could be.

Ideas?

I need to find things to write about... I'm thinking about writing reviews on some of my favourite movies. that'll keep me busy for a while. hopefully. I'm also thinking about starting something serious going on with music. Like I've been looking at my songs and am seriously contemplating taking my set to shows. It'll be just me and a guitar but I think it could work. I'm not the best singer but I think I'm not tone deaf. I hit up this one girl I knew from high school that does open mics in vallejo. hopefully I can get some info and get pointed in the right direction.

I've been doing stupid things lately. sorry.

updating

updating resumes are really boring. but every now and then it has to be done. as as filmmaker, I have multiple sources of resumes. I have an actual pdf with all the formal stuff out of the way, like my education and references. Then there's all my links. Like my youtube's and vimeo's and blogs. But then there's the fun stuff like the reel. I will never be totally satisfied with my online reel cause as I continue to work on stuff I'm always constantly updating it. I think after I made the exploding toys 2010 dslr reel it was outdated like a month after. Thats way faster than an actors resume. At least I don't need a headshot... or do I?
