Movie Update on "Inception"

There's nothing more relaxing than going to the movies all by yourself. Especially seeing a movie that requires as much concentration as the Leonardo DiCaprio blockbuster Inception. I was very lucky to still catch this on the big screen over the weekend in Early October.

I'm not one to get too excited about special effects, but they were very important for this movie, being that half the movie reflects someone's dream. We all know anything can happen in our dreams and that's what they were going for. The cinematography was excellent, and the acting was right on point. I don't want to spoil the movie for those who haven't had the chance to see it, but the ending is left open. Meaning its up to the audience to decide what they want to believe. I most definitely recommend this movie.

12 Floors Up

I was happy to have the opportunity to come in as producer on "12 Floors Up", a dark comedy that follows movie producer Spencer Hawkins as he tries to survive a pretentious Manhattan cocktail party. As he attempts to navigate his way through the evening unscathed, Spencer stumbles upon eccentric guests, annoying stories, and a murder.

Official ActorFest 2010 After Party




Well, this was a special night for me for many reasons, one being, it was the first night that I was able to convince Liz N. that our 3 month old son Kingston would be fine with a babysitter. We got all dressed up and stepped out to the Official ActorFest after party at club Slate. I thought this would be a good event to do a little networking with all the aspiring actors, directors, and producers while spending a lovely night with my wife. It seems that many people thought Liz had to be an actress. Maybe in the future I will have to see if she could pull off being more than an extra. The night was a major success I was able to exchange business cards and meet many interesting people. I have included a couple pictures for viewing.
Thanks

MayDay Filmworks

I'm going social

I've finally got around to making social networking for MayDay Filmworks a major priority. To keep up with Twitter, Facebook, blog, and LinkedIn is a full time job within itself. I contacted my dear friend Doug Bright who is an expert at getting the best results from these various systems. I always knew it was important to stay connected to as many people as possible, but sometimes I just didn't have the time. The New Radar has helped design a plan to make sure all of my upcoming events and important news is on full display. This is just want I needed to make sure MayDay Filmworks stays relevant in this technology driven era.
