Blast from the past....

For some reason, at 2 am in the morning, I thought I'd google myself. I was pleased to see that the first thing to pop up is my website, and then scrolling down my Imdb page, my LinkedIn page, Facebook (of course)....but a few links down, I was brought back three years ago to being a Senior at Illinois Wesleyan University. The Communications Office had done a profile piece on me, and low and behold, it's still there. Reading it again feels so strange. Did I really talk like that? Did I really make films with just one shitty digital camera and no lights, no sound equipment, not a bounce board in sight?

If you're interested in seeing what I was like as a greenhorn, be my guest.

"Appropriate Sex" gets into The Woodstock Film Festival!

Hey guys, the film I helped produce, "Appropriate Sex", has been accepted into the Woodstock Film Festival! The director/writer, Shandor Garrison, did some great work with the film, so if you get a chance, please stop by and take a peek.

A new (and final) year at Tisch

I apologize for not writing any updates for such a long time. This past summer I worked with a great production/post-production company in Chicago, Utopic. I learned a great deal about the advertising industry, and met some fantastic people. On a side note, I took off for a couple weeks and wandered through Argentina as well (I highly suggest anyone who enjoys a really good steak or looking at attractive men should go).

A week ago I moved back to New York and have started my third (and final) year of classes in the NYU graduate film program. I'm jumping straight into writing the script for my next piece, which will be my thesis project, a short set in India. I am extremely excited to see how the story develops, and anxious to begin pre-production.

It's amazing to think two years of grad school have already whizzed by. Really psyched to see how this year goes.

*Incidentally, because of how the third year of the NYU program is structured, I will have time to work on other projects, whether within Tisch or outside of it. So if you are in need of a filmmaker, let me know!
