Calling all horror fans and film buffs! The Pull of the Moon is an exciting project breaking new ground in the horror genre! For those of you who have been following this website for a while or me on any social network, you know that in addition to my life on the interwebs, that I
Hello good and wonderful people! I hope you are all feeling blessed and favored today. If you are reading this it means I have survived one hell of a semester. Whew it’s been a mess, I can’t even begin to describe…but I’m happy to fill you all in on the movie I worked on this
In order to have a career as long and storied as The Hollywood Masters’ guest William Friedkin, one must be resilient–even in the face of bronchitis and a lively crowd of students. Despite being under the weather, Friedkin managed to be his gregarious self, which led to a raucously funny and introspective night with Stephen Galloway. On
One of these days I’ll learn to edit a film by exactly what the script says and by watching all of the footage. The edit for this film however was not one of those days and made this one of the toughest movies I’ve tried to edit. I asked my friend Fr. Vince to give me his footage at the end of the semester because I liked his movie 30 Day Retreat and wanted to do a take on it. He’s got this Malick like aesthetic that made for a really beautiful film. Turns out trying to edit like Malick is really fucking hard. I mean you can jump cut all you want but if it doesn’t makes sense then the movie falls apart. Taking that into account, and the fact that I wanted more footage of the guy on the retreat and you have for one tough edit. However, I’m really proud of how it turned out. So without further ado, here’s the 30 Day Retreat!
Film School Files: For my Editing class this semester we were each tasked with editing film shot by a classmate. I was partnered with Christine and this is the final cut of my edit of her movie Nefarious Projections. As a horror fan, I was excited about this project and I really wanted to make it as creepy as possible.. It’s an interesting process editing someone else’s film cause you see the story differently. I cut out entire scenes from her script to make this cut, but as the editor I wanted to find the essence of her film. The sound editing is also a bit off but I’m still learning. Anyways I hope you enjoy!
Ladies and gentlemen, here it is, the culmination of a semester worth of work I am finally ready to unveil. Today’s Film School Files is dedicated to the debut of my Prod 500 short film Distractions on the Way to a Workout. A lot of time and effort went into this film and I’m both excited and scared to show the final* product to you guys. Jeremy, a young man in his 20s, has let himself go a bit. A month out of his high school reunion, he wants to tone up a bit to make a good impression and decides that he will work out every morning at 8 am. His house, however, is not really a fan of that and begins subtly trying to sabotage him. Will he accomplish his goal or will he continue to be stuck in his malaise? Check out the finished product and let me know what you think!
