Happy Easter Everyone

Sometimes life is grand. Sometimes life is not. What the calamity of a year coming to an end does is force us to reflect and review upon how we lived it.

The new year is almost amongst us. Good or bad hold your head up high, dive in without caution and strive for the very best of you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

My friend Miguel Ortega has been busting his ass off for over 2 years on his latest adventure THE NINGYO. I am so proud of him and Tran.
I want to make something clear, I did not work on this. I wish I had... this is me simply supporting a friend with his incredible project.
People always ask me what the secret is to get into the industry.
HARD WORK! Miguel is a shining example of this. Through trials and tribulations he has pushed through.
I got to see a rough cut a few months back of the trailer and oh my was it ever amazing.
Well boys and girls, today I am finally able to share with you the trailer for The NINGYO.
Be sure to watch it in HD and crank up the volume. ENJOY!

TOMORROWLAND is wonderful. Brad bird is once again ahead of his time with this film. The fact that it is getting all of these negative reviews is only proof of this fact. Brad's message in the film is one that I think most film makers would steer clear of. The human race as a whole is asking these big questions and I for one applaud Disney in the making of this film. We all like to complain about the usual Hollywood fair. This is not one of those films and deserves our support. if you haven't done so already go see it. I am sure you will agree that the heart of this film is in the right place and we need more films like it. Send your vote to the producers with your wallet, so that they are willing to take more risks like this.
