The week in review: 2/21 - 2/27
So what is this a photo of? Why its me... presenting The Eviction to an academic planning group. I came home after the premiere to find an e-mail interested in having a showing. What could I say but yes. A total of 236 people participated. I was able to answer some questions about different policies of Dallas and the Charities that help out. It was a great opportunity and a fantastic way for people to see and comment on my work. What is in the works? Well, I have two d


The week in review: 1/9-1/16
So... it was an eventful week. On Thursday I finally was able to go and visit The Cottages at Hickory Crossing. This is located at CitySquare off S. Malcolm X Blvd. . It is a group of about 50 single unit dwellings that provide sustainable housing for the homeless. A radical concept no doubt. This solution is presented and explained in The Eviction but I wasn't able to find out if they were open until now. Now they are complete. They have about eighteen units filled

The week in review 6/15
Okay so what is the big news since the last update? Announcements: Some big news from the festival circuit. "Wally" was an official selection at the Best Shorts competition. A festival that is in the Academy Award running. While I have no delusions of grandeur, it is really cool. As It may invited back to the San Antonio 'Q' festival, I want to include two new scenes. One scene would be the exchange of interviews between Wally's pastor and Wally. Another scene is the in


Berga: Soldiers of Another War Review / Docs on the spot
Rating: **** (incredible story) STORY: Berga is the story of 350 American Prisoners of War that became caught up as part of the Holocaust. This is something I wasn't aware of and was surprised to learn. What had happened was that during the Battle of the Bulge, thousands of American soldiers were captured. These prisoners were dispatched to Stalag IX B. It was here that the German Officers ordered the Americans to identify the Jewish soldiers. The American officer refus


When We Were Kings Review: Docs on the spot
The 'Rumble in the Jungle' or the fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in 1974 act's as the center point of this Documentary. I might have just made many of you tune out as you think this is a boxing documentary. It isn't. Rather, Director Leon Gast utilizes this event as a centrifuge to plunge the viewer into the world of 1974. The fast pacing, music, and continual movement within the film, leave viewers entranced. Documentary Director Leon Gast is a veteran of


Grizzly man: Doc's on the spot
Grizzly Man is a documentary made by German Documentarian Werner Herzog. It follows the story of "Grizzly Man" Timothy Treadwell. Treadwell; a man who each summer would march into the Alaskan wilderness to become the self-proclaimed protector of the bears. It built him some fame. He appeared on the David Letterman show. It built him some glory. He was able to become a spokesperson for the bear at local schools. It built him a dream, in that he began to film his daily w


He just wanted to play
All the boy wanted to do was play. His face bearing a wide grin, he ran toward the playground as his father's eyes carefully watched. He just wanted to play. So yeah... it was a little surreal. Going to Rockwall as fast as my limping little VW bug could take me to attend an anti-immigrant rally. It was one that was being held by the American National Socialist party. If Natioinal Socialist party seems like it sparks off a memory there is a good reason... the German Natio
