The Trials of Pro Bono, No-Budget Filmmaking
Since moving to Seattle, I’ve done a solid amount of things to encourage my chances of finding work–full-time, part-time, or freelance. It’s not easy, and I’ve taken it on myself to do at least 75% of the cooking, cleaning, dog-taking-out, etc. in our household. I only bring in a few hundred bucks a month through … [Read more…]
Screw the finish line
I’m not sure if it’s an individual quirk or part of a larger issue, but I’ve noticed lately that I’m not the greatest finisher in the world. Nope, stop thinking dirty thoughts. Not what I meant.

I’m getting married in June to the woman of my dreams, and all I want is to provide and care for her. Kind of hard to do when even Target … [Read more…]

A few of my favorite spots
Some highly recommended locations (mostly in Redlands, CA): Stell Coffee & Tea Augie’s Coffee House a la minute any time i think about these places i’m like:
the internet is my mutated extra limb
Just wanted to drop a few things, as I’m super tired and it’s late here in Southern California. I was reading a post from an excellent writer I’ve been following for awhile now, Jacob Silverman, and was struck with some epiphany based on what he says here: I’m now looking more broadly at the attention … [Read more…]
