As I ride in the morning I often see this visually interesting shot. I want a crane to get the movement without the camera shadow. I think, movie? music video? documentary? hmmm. By the time I get to the park I pretty much have forgotten about the shot. After all by then I have [...]

Wow.
Have I mentioned that writing is hard?
I should perhaps clarify.
Having someone read your work, the work you spent 6 months researching. The work you spent another month outlining. The work you spent 6 months writing only to have “people” read it and say, “nice writing, but ( I HATE that word) needs to be [...]

The work of writing and producing is …. Hard. Wow, aren’t I eloquent?
What I wish to convey is how difficult it is for me, with my rather anal personality, to always have work in progress and rarely have work completed. I like to finish. No, I need to finish. I know, it’s a sickness. [...]

Have I mentioned before how much I love editing? Just in case anyone is confused…. I love editing. I am half way through reviewing like 50 hours of footage for one of these current projects. Some of the footage I am seeing for the first time. I found myself laughing out loud on a 4 [...]

Almost finished! Page 90 of a 120-page screenplay. I like it so much that I WANT others to read it. I am so close to turning it over to “the editor.” Besides finding all my grammatical errors, spelling errors, and verb tense errors, she is able to see where it is weak [...]

Yesterday we had a business lunch. I always get a little quiet during these little meet and greets. I think it is warranted. There have been so many times that we have met with someone and shared our ideas and plans and then find they have taken our idea, knowledge or connections and have used [...]

Seeing your loved ones “bigger than life” almost enables the world to feel the enlarged heart of a mother … almost …

My sister and parents came all the way from California to share this momentous occasion with me. My husband and children were by my side selling tickets, directing traffic, greeting guests and some just choose to stay out of my way! Wistie surprised me and flew in on Saturday! She was going to wear [...]

So…
What is it like to spend 10 years researching, writing, filming, scripting, casting, editing and finally debuting your work for friends, family and complete strangers?
It was rather liberating. One of the funny things is that I don’t really care what they thought. Some came up to me and talked about what they [...]

I grew up with a large extended family. I grew up hearing the adult whisperings. Sometimes there was muffled laughter, sometimes muted cries. Shock, grief, joy, love. It is what family is to me.
Living in the Colonies among people I was not related to by blood provided a different experience, an experience beyond family [...]
