So as usual I have been a little M.I.A. on my blogging here. Things have been pretty busy with work these past 7 months. Warner Brothers works you pretty hard. J But recently I was in Hong Kong on business, and I had the opportunity to catch up with some friends. Below are some pictures from my trip. I was traveling with fellow filmmaker Gary Chan. It was a great trip, but as they all are … it went by REALLY fast. But it was nice to be able to get back home to my wife who unfortunately did not make it on this trip.

Will write more soon!

All I can say is WTF???

It sucks that the older you get the more you see the talented people you grew up watching pass on. Part of life... But still sucks.

MJ - He's had his troubles and issues... But no one can deny his talent, and the mark he left on the music industry, and pop culture. I can't imagine what 8th grade would have been like without the sounds from Thriller... or 10th grade with BAD... or even early college days with Black or White... It was really the soundtrack of my childhood, so I hope that he in death can have the peace he didn't seem to have in life.

FF - Sad and tragic death. Probably the worst way to go (not that there is a good way really)... But I can remember being a little guy and wanting to watch Charlies Angels... haha...  So sad... I hope that Ryan O'Neil and their Son can get through this.

Ed - He may have been a sidekick... but I remember growing up in the 70's, 80's and seeing Ed there... Sad when we lost Johnny... But to lose Ed now too... Its the final closing of that era of the Tonight Show... The end of an era to childhood.

All this in a few days...

Sad reminder of the fragility of life. Embrace the moment... Enjoy it...  :)

More to come....

I just saw this posted... I tried to not look... but like Race in Ab-Normal Beauty... I just couldn't...

haha!

It's funny... yet disturbing.  haha

It’s been a while since I really blogged anything. It’s been kinda crazy actually. About 6 weeks ago I joined Warner Brothers in their distribution group at the Studios here in Burbank. It’s been a great time of learning more the in’s and outs of getting titles released on time. It’s also been good from a learning standpoint as to what goes into a distribution deal. (and ways that studios can charge the producers for things…) *So I will at least know how to protect myself better on my projects!

 

That being said… The feature film that I have been working on getting financed is moving along. We were able to attach a new supporting character that I am REALLY excited about. You’ve seen this guy in hundreds of films and television shows I am sure. We are fine tuning the packaging of the film to really make it more interesting for investors… so hopefully the next 6 weeks or so will generate a real buzz.

 

But all that aside too, I started writing again. I have some new projects that I am developing. It’s been so long since I actually shot anything, that I REALLY am feeling the itch to be creative. So I am hoping to shoot a few shorts this summer. If you guys are interested in acting in them, or networking on things… etc… let me know! Would be fun to meet some LA alive-not-dead’ers  J

 

And in all this too, I am so wanting to go back to Hong Kong to connect with people I have not seen in a year!!  It’s the weirdest feeling that I have been going to HK every six months since 2004, and it’s been a year already with no HK…  SUCKS. ha-ha

Hey Guys, 

I recently became a fan of Tom Wilsons Musical comedy... Enjoy!
