Acting 101: Don't Cast Me

I am not and will never claim to an actor or thespian of any kind; i took drama as i assumed it had less writing than double science and showing off seemed to be my thing when i was a 15 year old self-entitled prick.

Drinking To Mask My Pain

So it is with great trepidation that i present to all 2 1/2 people that may actually read this with Paris Without Love a 5 minute short film starring none-other than me, a big thanks to Mr. Scott Lyus for once again convincing me to be in-front of a camera so that every hairstyle, facial hair, spot and awkward expression i make is now documented forever for future generations to laugh, judge and generally have fun at my expense..... thanks man

Self-loathing aside if it proves nothing else it's that homeboy can craft a film and i'd like to think i helped play a part it that no matter how minute, i expect big things for the future and i'll  be riding them coattails like it's a turbulent banana boat. This is also the last time using super 8 for a while as it is a laborious and surprisingly expensive process and who needs that in this age of digital film-making not us no more.

So here it is. let me know what you think no matter how brutally honest

It will also be my turn to direct something soon, once i learn how to use spellcheck and stop watching FAIL videos and finish writing, so i can then be judged on a much deeper meaningful level like hacking at my soul with a scythe and urinating on my hopes & dreams with the scattered remnants of yours

IMDB & Me

After an overwhelming sense of self-worth at gaining an IMDB page for a short film and myself for my exploits on said film i realize that nobody will care and why should they I'm about as interesting as hemorrhoid cream left in an unattended deck chair

What i imagined life was like when you have an IMDB page

But i would like to think that the film Beautiful War speaks for itself, what started off as a test to see how you use the almost dead film format of Super 8mm turned into a film; i say film but this is more of a video-graphic question than a standard "film". 


Rather than attempt to write a misguided synopsis for it in my own words i feel that true man of the hour and my partner in Film-making crime Scott Lyus sums it up better than i ever could:


"A short that outlines the thin line between the natural beauty that is all around us, against the destruction of this beauty through war and misguided and misused works of power. Beautiful War uses contrast as its tool to ask questions and underline serious problems that our world leaders need to address. We are given so much to admire for free, why do we choose to destroy it?

An idea born out of the music of yesterday and visions of our future. Production on this picture took over a year, in that time we were shooting every few months, finding the money to buy and develop the film and then more money for the stock footage and song used once in post. Being the first time I had used the Super 8mm Format we ran into some challenges early on, first being our first camera giving up on us, then over exposed film, under exposed film and a lot of poeple wondering what the hell I was trying to achieve. Now a year later and the film is ready to be screened. It should be said that Beautiful War was never meant to be a film that provided anwsers, instead I wanted to make a film that just asked the questions I felt needed to be asked."

although a far cry from what we both imagined when we said "we wanna make films" in our guised Essex accents at our disgruntled parents this seems to be just the project that has got the ball rolling which may lead on to bigger and better things.

It should be noted as-well that we did not pay for these pages to be set up but rather it was an honor bestowed upon us by getting it selected for some festivals and for that we thank them. I would not expect us to make anything like this in the near future but it may have given us the tools we need to make films in the future along a more linear, dramatic and traditional film like sense so keep your eyes and ears peeled 

The film is available to view here; and if you like it please vote it up, we would be forever indebted to you

Best Scenes: I Heart Huckabees

Easy to hate hate figure Jude Law plays easy to hate hate figure Brad Stand in I Heart Huckabees in one of my favorite scenes Dustin Hoffman & Lily Tomlin confront him on his bullshiterry thus spinning his life into chaos. 


Really good flick, got some pretty heated reviews for its pretension and overall existential theme back in 2004 but I'm backing it 


with a cast including Naomi Watts, Jason Schwartzman and Marky Mark what's not to like?


Ask yourself the question How Am I Not Myself?

Mandingo

The fine folks over at VBS.TV just come out with yet another gem of documentary the subject interracial swinging follow the florida Mandigos and their peerless leader Art Hammer as they tear up white women like only discreet, professional, educated, intelligent, physically fit, drug and disease free, well-hung black gentlemen could

Hammer By Name Hammer By Nature

it's "lengthy" but you know you don't have anything better to do, never has a documentary made me feel so inferior & horrendously uncomfortable

Best Scenes: American Psycho

Contender for my favorite scene ever The Dark Knight & on set breakdown specialist Christian Bale calmly talks about Huey Lewis selling the album like a used car salesmen before hacking at Jared Leto with his axe then calmly sitting back with his cigar; yes that Jared Leto the one from holier than thou rock peddlers 30 Seconds To Mars.
