Just a general update as I've ended up plenty busy recently:
The ASC Awards was a momentous event; great seeing everyone with their families and friends! Caleb Deschanel, ASC, made a shakingly poignant speech accepting his lifetime achievement award that left me wonderfully sentimental for weeks; hidden in his stories about production mishaps and surprises at dailies screenings was a reminder that although sometimes it feels like our work dictates a certain way of life, it's really the lifestyle that we want which is informing the way we work. None of us should be in this for the money; it's a hell of a lot of work if you're not in love with it. The comradery which comes with that understanding... there's nothing like it.
On the festival / awards circuits, Malachi Rempen's "La Nina del Desierto" won third place for Best Drama at the College Television Awards, as well as Best Narrative Short at the Fallbrook Film Festival. It's just screened at the Newport Beach Film Festival and will be showing at Cannes in May!
Candace Lewis' "Le Pony" and "Jeremiah" for Italian Japanese are on the MTV in Brazil and the UK, coming to the US on all the major music video channels this month! We're shooting the next video, "Jaguar Paw (Remix)", for the Universal-signed band this coming week.
Scott Sullivan's "Summer Campbell" is also on the road, locking up my early June schedule. We're planning Red for the show; I'll be glad to be back with a camera that weighs more than my breakfast after a stint of Canon EOS shows. More about that soon.
