On the road again

December 15th, 2011

I’ve been pretty lucky this fall that I’ve stayed busy with a lot of shooting, but haven’t had too much travel beyond the Northeast.  I do enjoy, in theory (and usually in practice) the idea of traveling for work, but I often hate the hassle of airport travel with lots of gear, connecting flights, etc.  I also like to come home at night and see my family.  But still there is an adventure in business travel, and it’s part of the job, so I don’t generally turn it down when it comes my way.

Honoring a Legend

November 1st, 2011

I recently completed a project for Rosie’s Place, a homeless women’s shelter in Boston, for their annual “Funny Women, Serious Business” fundraising event.  This was the fourth video I had created for them (including this piece that I did last year).  Earlier this year, Kip Tiernan, the founder of Rosie’s Place, passed away, so they wanted this year’s video to be a tribute to Kip.  I had met (and filmed Kip) on a few occasions in the past, and she was a very interesting woman, with a long history of social activism.  I felt pretty honored and inspired working on this project, knowing that I needed it to feel worthy of Kip.

And yet another… 48 Hours

May 17th, 2011

So if my memory serves correct, two weekends ago I shot my SEVENTH 48 Hour Film.  (For those unfamiliar with the quite popular, international filmmaking competition, the 48HFP gives filmmakers the opportunity to write, shoot, score and edit a 4-7 minute film in, you guessed it, 48 Hours.)  I actually get fairly preachy about how [...]
