Erin Morgenstern, Le Cirque des Rêves, and Flax-Golden Tales

Lately I’ve been finding myself eating donuts off a tree (both literally and figuratively) and wondering about rabbits and waistcoats, tea cups guaranteed to give you courage, spaceships and flying cars, and what’d it be like to have wings.

To put it plainly, I have begun to become more interested in what’s not real than what is. As a youth, this seemed to be all I was interested in. Growing older and growing out of that fanciful youth, I have quite often caught myself thinking about the woman I wish to be: one of class – wearing white or tan fashionable trousers, always matching my nails with my handbag – being responsible and respectable, settling down for silliness only when the guests are gone and I am alone in my home. And, of course, making dark and realistic films that commented on human psychology.

But the older I get, the more I realize Continue reading

Sickening

I have to rant for a moment. I must say that this has been building up inside me for some time.

There is something seriously wrong with the youth of today. We all happily imagine that problems like racism are dying with our oldest generations, but we cannot be more wrong. Not only that, but problems such as domestic abuse are actually being promoted by women! Don’t believe me? Check out this article here where women all over twitter have written such comments as “I’d let Chris Brown beat me any day.” This is completely disgusting. Morals have been completely twisted around and “just so long as he loves me at night” being physically abused is ok.

Now, this was the article that really got me going. It’s about the widely popular Hunger Games. Continue reading

The Wife Casting Call

Hey everyone!

I’ve got a new casting up, so check it out! It’s a short film I wrote while in Sydney about a woman who finds out her husband is having an affair. I have the lead actress already cast, but I’m looking for actors to play Barry, the husband, and Vanessa, the best friend. If you think you fit the role, please apply! If you know someone who might fit the role, please pass the word! It will film in Connecticut one weekend either early May or early June, depending on the circumstances. Check it out here!

HDR Photography

Today I went to Bulls Bridge, Connecticut. This is a nice nature spot with some incredible water scenery. I climbed over many rocks, scratched my arms up and took over 600 photographs. I also decided to try my hand out at HDR photography.

If you haven’t heard of that, it’s this new technique where three photographs is taken: one underexposed and a bit dark, one normal, and one overexposed and too bright. Then, these three photographs are combined to produce one image with detail in the highlights as well as the lowlights. These images tend to be drenched in color, sharp, and quite amazing.

Well, after editing, Continue reading

Oh hello….

Apologies yet again for the haitus. With so many things going on, upkeep on a blog is quite difficult, but I promise to be more diligent about it from now on.

I have many exciting projects in the works, many I wish I could share with you but unfortunately I am to remain quiet until they launch. In the meantime, I will update you on my own events.

Now, to share something a bit personal with you, Continue reading

New Years!

Sorry for my long hiatus and lack of blog up-keeping. I don’t want to get too deep into it, but on New Years Day, tragedy struck: my 6 year old cousin was in the hospital. It was discovered that she has a brain tumor. Thankfully, she’s doing okay for now.

But now that I’m on my groove for the new years, I’ve got a lot of exciting things coming! Can’t say too much now, so you’ll just have to wait and see! Stay patient and I will again get back on track with my art tuesdays and review of the week.

In the meantime, Continue reading
