It’s entirely possible that I’ve finally gone around the bend. It can’t be a surprise to any of you. I’m sure many of you have thought that I was crazy in the past. But here’s the thing—I’m fairly certain my horoscope actually yelled at me on Thursday. No, I’m not kidding. I’m fairly certain it
I was going to give you my review of “The X-Files: I Want to Believe”. Make no mistake– I love this film. I was happy the first time, but thrilled the second when I had time to focus and not think, “wow, the filmmakers are behind me and damnit, Duchovny looks hot”. The X-Files grows

There are characters, actors and storytellers that stay with you, sometimes inexplicably, for years. For me, this ranks as one of my most successful love affairs. But

Sex sells. There is no doubt about it. If you can make something look sexy, you are more likely to be able to sell it. The more damaging or needlessly expensive the product, the sexier the campaign has got to be. Cigarette companies have gone two ways—manly, rugged men and sexy women. I’m not sure
I’m on a lunch break right now at the Los Angeles Film Festival Finance Conference. So far, some very interesting information about the state of the independent film world, as well as financing options/opportunities. Double bonus points because the fest is in air conditioned theaters– a must given the near fact of the billion degree
Periodically, I get questions about the blog and about me. Here is a small attempt to answer some of the most frequently asked questions (or statements). Well, the clean ones anyway. 1. Is the blog based on real life events, or is it all fiction? The blog is based on real life events. Occasionally, I
