Coming Soon


I just re-mastered the dvd for Spirits Among Us. I had to add the logos for the distributor. While I was at it I decided to fix a few little nitpicky sound problems and enhance one scene. So now, I really am through editing the movie. I've been "through with editing" several times. I sent them artwork and taglines and such a couple weeks back. They are putting together the dvd sleeves and other promotional artwork. The photo here is of the preliminary dvd sleeve.
The plan is to release the movie in January 2009. I'm archiving all the movies files on hard drives, so soon I will actually be through with that project and moving on to the next. I look forward to doing the next movie, I just don't know what it will be just yet. Oh, and I think I will have another showing of Spirits Among Us for those who could not make the premiere and have not seen it yet.
I love the movie making business. When I am doing any work related to movies I feel alive. I feel like I am in the right place doing the thing I was designed to do. I hope I get to make a living at it in the future.

Nice People


It is great to have nice people in my life. The photo is of the decoration placed on top of the cake that was made for the premiere party for Spirits Among Us. The mother of Mary Sarah (youngest cast member in the movie) and their friend made the cake, and Mary Sarah made the little clay figure of the director (me). I just thought this was the nicest thing. It is great to have nice people in my life. If you don't have any, I recommend finding some, because they make life better.
