My first short (student) film begins production tomorrow: A few notes as I begin production....

As my first student film nears the production phase, I’ve got much to celebrate. Hopefully, this short update will help out.

First off, I’ve got the cast: the cast will be mostly made up of DVC students at this point. Without ado the cast are as follows: Robert Black will play the role of the male protagonist Trent, Cassie Moronez will be the female protagonist of Chloe, Alexander Patrick will play the role of Brad, Trent’s roommate, and Lindsay Nicole Perino will play the role of Jessica the waitress.

Second, the script is LOCKED and has been approved and we are doing our first table read Monday. We might do the read-through twice just to have the actors get familiar to the characters they will be playing.

Third: Locations. We currently have four of our five locations. We are waiting for one final one.

Fourth: the date of filming. I shared the dates with my producer/production assistant and production will begin this Wednesday, April 29th and will continue until next week.. As this movie project for my film class is due soon (May 18), I will furiously be trying to edit this as we proceed along. I don’t have a big window here, but I would like to edit while I’m shooting the movie. 

Will I cut a short teaser for this movie?: My goal is when this film gets finished, I have three little words: I hope so.


SO EXCITED to start making it soon.

He Named Me Malala (Movie Review)

HE NAMED ME MALALA  Release Date: October 2, 2015 (Limited), October 9, 2015 (Wide) Starring: Malala Yousafzi Genre: Documentary Rating: PG-13 (for thematic elements involving disturbing images and threats) Running time: 87 minutes Malala Yousafzai, the young girl from the Pakastani Swat Valley area, is the primary focus of Davis Guggheim’s latest documentary. She was the girl that was shot in the head by the Taliban for daring to suggest that women should be allowed to go to school and have a chance at a descent education. She survived the assassination attempt, but suffered permanent damage to the left side of her face. The movie does work as a documentary, and it’s an important one that everyone should see, but it feels to me that it only scratches the surface of the context. The movie’s title “He Named Me Malala” has both a influential and political meaning: her father named her Malalai who, from Afghan folk lore, rallied the locals into fighting the B

Plus, we’ll talk not only about the Captain Marvel tease at the end and what it means for next summer’s sequel “The Marvel” but also THAT other surprising revelation.

Kindergarten Cop 2

KINDERGARTEN COP 2 Running time:  100 minutes Rated: PG-13 (for language and violence) Distributed by: Universal 1440 Entertainment @2016 Release Date: May 17, 2016 (DVD premiere) Twenty-five years after we were graced with the presence of the Arnold Schwarzenegger action/comedy “Kindergarten Cop”, someone goes and makes a sequel that no one really wanted. Not only did we get it, but we got a half-assed dog of a movie whose script could’ve literally been done by a kindergartner….in crayons. Yes, Universal’s direct-to-video distribution is responsible for this latest debacle. Instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger this one around (who wisely turned down a role or even a cameo appearance for this one), we get Dolph Lundgren as a no-nonsense FBI agent Reed. He and his partner Sanders (Bill Bellamy) have just taken down an Armenian dealer. and now they need to acquire a flash drive containing the downloadable names of those placed under the Witness Protection Program. Thanks
