Happened upon this paragraph in "Lost City of the Monkey God" and it reminds of that quote from #BattlestarGalactica "All this has happened before and all of it will happen again"

Finished reading 1491 a few days ago. Completely expanded my thinking on the Americas pre-columbus. Specifically mid-south America. We really need to teach History better.

Songs in the Key of X, the X-Files soundtrack album is still one of my all time favs. What a strong lineup of songs/bands. Really exposed me to a lot of new music when I was a kid.
Specifically, it was the first time I'd ever heard Screamin' Jay Hawkins, for which I am eternally grateful.

Even though I'm not a member, I fully support the WGA strike. Unfettered greed must be checked.

Watched The Fabelmans. It's cool that one of the most prolific filmmakers of our era got to do a retrospective on his youth.
It's also well worth watching just for the David Lynch/John Ford scene. Which is a masterful scene. So cool Spielberg cast Lynch like that.

Beau Is Afraid, Evil Dead Rise and Return of the Jedi all in the theaters, want to see all three but don't have the time.
Jedi is the only one of the OG trilogy I missed in the theaters when they did the special edition release. So feel like that's top of my list.

Last summer, we did a 48 hour film race and drew the super hero genre. There was total panic at first as we had no idea if we could pull of any type of vfx in that short amount of time.
But we ended up having a very fun weekend. You can see the full version on YouTube:

Oh no! The ending of Welcome to Wrexham season 2 has been spoiled by... well everyone... Going to be a fun watch either way.

Wow! The Lookout made the top ten at the Roadmap Writers greenlights challenge! Honored to make it this far, congrats to the other writers as well!

Seems like there is a sturdy overlap betwixt the people bemoaning that Gen Z/millennials spend too much on avocado toast/coffee, and the people now begging everyone to spend 8 bucks a month on twitter blue checks.

Any #horror fans out there? A few years ago we shot this teaser trailer for a parody feature film. Still want to make it one day.

It feels like a loud group of Mando fans suddenly thought the show as being produced by HBO and expected a Game of Thrones style ending for this season.

The last time there was a writer's strike, I worked at a public access station (not paid.)
A few of us pretty much lived in the warehouse where we made a geek themed news show with sketches.
In one of the sketches, the writers refused to write on their poster boards in solidarity with the wga.

Filmed some of my friends #DungeonsAndDragons minis. Then played around in Premiere to replicate the opening credits of that show Bosch.

Elon is a grand argument against billionaires and libertarians. The whole twitter fiasco shows what happens when you create power voids via deregulation. And then suddenly have to reinvent said regulations.
Reminds of that libertarian town in New Hampshire that got overwhelmed by bears.

Thoroughly enjoying "Beef" on Netflix. About halfway through the season, what a wild show.

Throwback to the first footage I shot almost a year ago when I got my new camera. Oh how I miss living in Sunnyside, Queens.

What a difference a few atmospheric rivers make?
The start of the video is the waterfall in Hillard Canyon over the summer during the draught. The end is the same waterfall after all the rain we've had in LA over the past few months.

Today feels like a Friday, but I know it is not...

Hiking Millard Canyon, I rounded a bend, and a wondrous breeze swooped down from a mountain and enveloped me in its refreshing coolness.
It instantly reminded me of a scene from Tarkovsky's "Mirror" where the wind picks up around a character in a field.
So I sat in the talk grass and filmed.

The new Mando season is making a lot more sense after the news that Dave Filoni is helming a feature to tie all the TV series together.

What features do you think would be best way to organize, advocate and work together would be on Spoutible?
Please Echo this and vote... or suggest other ways to do it.
Informal poll, but I am curious what YOU think:

Very cool “The Fabulous Flocks” a pilot script I wrote with Jeff Grantz made the quarter finals at the the Script Lab Free Screenplay Contest via Coverfly!

Testing more video upload stuff. This one is at 20 mb. Quality had to get lowered a little but maybe there's a chance to start uploading more long form stuff now.
Shot on my black magic 6k at Fort Ticonderoga last summer.

Yesterday was the day that @Spoutible roared with the political.
Today is the day we should be figuring out how to use this platform to organize, not simply be outraged.
Since we’re a community: Any suggestions?
Echo. Reply. There are bright, kind people here.
Let’s start working together.

Hoping after todays update that video upload will work a bit better, or at least let us upload some higher quality stuff.
Until then, here is a #StopMotion short I made in my garage almost 20 years ago. Built all the sets and models myself (sans the tanks)

Filmed a short a few weekends ago inspired by a chapter from Kafka's The Trial. Hoping to shoot the last scene this weekend. Contemplating some festival submissions if comes together well enough.

Another upload test from a rainy day in LA where I filmed some of my mother-in-law's installation art.
(was able to upload a different file at 13mb earlier, but the vid quality was pretty bad so didn't post)
