THOUGHTS ARE THINGS


It’s been about two years since Terry and I moved to California.

When we lived back in Phoenix, there was a large grape vine that used to drape over our back porch. In the evenings, I would sit out there under the vines with a cold micro brew, an Onyx cigar and a daydream of one day soaring out of the LAX to film in some wonderful and exotic location.

Yes, I would actually think this.

On some evenings, I would casually watch the distant airliners fly overhead. Their slip-streams dashing the horizon with long, yellow brush strokes across a red, evening sky. Adventurous travelers drifted through the heavens on there way to who-knows-where. I wanted to be up there with them. I wanted to be going somewhere.

Yes, I would actually think this.

 

A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be offered a chance to film for five days on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. It was amazing. Hard to put into words. It was pretty cool in the sense that there I was... “filming” in “Italy."

My point is not to boast, but to say, “thoughts are things,” and shit doesn’t happen on accident.

My thanks especially go out to Andy Dilan, Kevin McMahon, and Tommy Mac for putting in the good word for me, and to the crew for being so f-ing cool to work with. It was an adventure I’ll never forget.

 

GOT GORE?

 

A sweet little side project doing some FX work. It's been awhile, and I have to admit that I really miss it.
