The Artist Vs. Psycho
Went to see THE ARTIST at the Moreland Theater here in Portland. Never been there before, but the movie house is a lesser known gem in this fair city. It’s a single screen theater which has been in business since 1926. Vaudeville acts performed before screenings in the silent era. The “Arabian Nights” decor is gorgeous, authentic, and completely preserved. The place actually...

Segments Like A Centipede
This weekend after an extended, and somewhat difficult, hiatus from editing NAKED PREACHER LADY, I got back into it and I think I’ve figured it out. I did not feel as if I were stuck in quicksand anymore. I could see things clearly. The muck and mess had congealed, dried, and flaked off revealing a jagged yet harmonious form beautiful in its inconsequential symmetry. It was easy to see...

This box is filled with home recordings I made throughout the 1990’s. I liberated it from the rain ridden garage and was shocked at how much stuff I recorded. It’s weird how back then one’s output was matched by physical artifacts and now it’s all invisible on a hard drive. Having less stuff is very cool.

TVEgo Override
The self is the spring of the human psyche - the place from which all the nourishing juices bubble and rise. Self-actualization means the self is calling the shots, not the ego. Great unhappiness and strife rush the floodgates of human consciousness when the ego is steering the ship because the ego desperately craves validation from external sources, namely other people, to function. That can be...

Infantile Regression?
My friend in Spain, Naxo Fiol, alerted me to this video camera for a five year old kid. It was pretty cheap and I had some extra money laying around, so I got one. It’s supposed to take abuse very well. It only holds about fifteen minutes of video, but I can slip a SD card in and get way more. When I do some tests, I’ll put them up.

The Naked Preacher Lady doc is driving me crazy. Chasing a ghost is the most apt cliche I can think of. As soon as I think I have it, it’s gone! The first twenty minutes of the doc are beautiful, and then things just sort of slip off the track, almost invisibly. I want to be done with this documentary. I want it to be over. But I need to relax and let it tell me what it wants to tell me. I...

3D
I goof around on set as an actor with a painted on mustache and Ian’s wild and wonky 3D video camera. Ian, the writer, director, and cameraman, plans his next shot. I am in love with this dog, Molly. She’s not in the movie, but she likes saying hi and getting petted on.

Film Projection Will Never Die. It Will Live On...
Leland loads the film projector Leland and Camelia came over for a visit and we all had a nice time watching a bevy of mind bending sixteen millimeter celluloid amazingness. It was a most welcome evening. Especially after hearing about a pretty rad local movie house making the switch to digital and phasing out the film. I have nothing against digital. I love digital. And the economics make...

NPL update
I’m finally in the last stretch of editing The Naked Preacher Lady and it’s been a long haul. I shot it almost ten years ago. I never had any desire to make a documentary, but when I met Baby Rae I just knew I had to do it. I shot things as they happened and they happened to fall apart as I was shooting them and that’s a pretty amazing thing to capture on video. When I...

Silent Night Deadly Night
Every year at the Hollywood Theater here in Portland, Oregon, Dan Halsted screens his awesome print of the classic Santa slasher flick, Silent Night Deadly Night. It’s a beautiful holiday tradition in which I can truly get behind. This year Irina Beffa designed the poster and this is it and I love it like crazy. I am so sick of so many posters which emulate the grindhouse style of the...
