I missed American Graffiti on the big screen today, but I caught the vintage car show and walked up and down some of the streets that appeared in the movie (San Rafael locations). Here are a couple of photographs from the day. #AmericanGraffiti #lucasfilm #cars #marin #sanrafael

There seems to be some misunderstandings about the recent James Bond expanded albums coming from @lalalandrecords.bsky.social so I wrote up this response. If you like it, feel free to let your friends know. A lot of this can also apply to other expanded albums I've produced.

Thanks to everyone for your support. Producing these albums is a privilege and responsibility none of us take lying down. I do wonder if the messaging on these releases is clear. Having worked on 10 of these Bond albums, I figured by now people would understand the intent, but that doesn't seem to be the case. With the exception of "Goldfinger" (for which no additional material can be found) all of these albums have been expanded beyond the original releases and even previous expanded releases. I thought that was obvious, but even in this thread and elsewhere, as soon as the Variety article broke with news of a forthcoming remastered OHMSS album, posts started appearing questioning the use of the word "remastered" and assuming it was only going to be one disc. The goal has always been to present the score, top to bottom, starting with the gun barrel cue all the way to the end of the movie, with film takes/performances intact. Starting with "Live And Let Die" and "Octopussy" we've begun including the original soundtrack albums too, preserving the unique takes and cuts from those releases. Essentially each CD collection is two programs, the film score and the soundtrack album. We also include additional tracks like extra source cues or alternate versions. Our goal is to get listeners as much James Bond music as possible in the best quality.

Looking at this year's official selections, I realized I forgot to post some submission updates: my screenplay The Silver Wings was an official selection at the Beverly Hills Film Festival '25, semifinalist at Flicker's Rhode Island International '24, and honorable mention at Big Apple FF '24.

Super fun to see my student's screening at the ILM theater at Lucasfilm yesterday with the SF Film Festival! It was great to see how each young writer/filmmaker in the program approached their various projects and channeled their own point of view. Some top tier work!

My annual animation class at the Disney Museum last week was super fun! I even made some progress on my animation project (Monsieur Ballon) and walked over to the Skywalker Ranch general store after class one day. Creative time well spent :) #disneyfamilymuseum #lucasfilm #presidio #animation

Amazing event at Lucasfilm today. Always fun to see the film posters, Star Wars props and Vader! Great Pete Docter & Frank Oz talk. I've always wished I could strike up creative collaborations -so much heart & humanity in their works! #pixar #frankoz #muppets #starwars #ILM #lucasfilm #petedocter

On this day in 1976 principle photography on "Star Wars" began at Elstree Studios. While first scenes were shot in Tunisia in March, production at Elstree began in April with the filming of scenes like the cantina. Here's my photo of the Lucas Stage at Elstree (from outside the fence). MTFBWY!

I ran into some old friends while doing errands last weekend. Some photography fun with Han in carbonite and a Tusken Raider. I sense a wave of Star Warsmania in the Force. #starwars #hansolo #blackandwhitephotography #props #costumes
