J. Phillip Wilkins, the composer for “Bob Gurr: LBD”, gave our documentary a wonderful score with whimsical names like “Viva El Gurr!”, “A Is For Autopia”, “Holly Jolly Gurrmas” and “Jolly Rogurr”. Jon is also a member of the band The Postmarks and a filmmaker friend from middle school.

Yesterday, we made a quick jaunt to Palm Springs and The Shag Store where Shag's latest work "Mary Blair, Beyond Compare" was made available to the public. We also did some light filming for the Mary Blair documentary currently in production.

Okay, it's time we talk about the sculpts for Hall of Presidents at WDW. It's not so much the sculpts that don't look like the real men. It's the wigs. Look at Clinton. Look at Carter. And the modern presidents... these sculptures are pretty much nightmare fuel. What do you think we should do?

A few months back, I had the honor of meeting cinematographer Michael Ferris. Michael has an iconic filmography having worked with the likes of John Cassavetes and so many other big names in cinema. Most important to me… he worked with Orson Welles on “The Other Side Of The Wind” and more.

We had a great audience last night at ArtCenter College of Design! As a legendary alumni, Bob Gurr was welcomed with open arms and our documentary played to a packed house. Just the encouragement I needed to dive into a new edit of the film for its broadcast premiere. Details on that coming soon!

With all the stupidity on planet Earth, I haven't properly championed the Artemis II mission and how it simultaneously celebrates humanity and while reminding us how tiny we really are.

This promo for EPCOT Center reminds me of the hope and excitement I felt as October 1, 1982 approached. This wonderful place is mostly gone now, but if we can dream it we really can do it again.

If Netflix won it could have meant the end of the cinema experience. Now that Paramount/Ellison won, it means the end of journalism, media and probably the cinematic experience as well. No matter how you slice it, this is another nail in the coffin. Who's up for a rebirth?
