Filmmaking often feels like climbing up a mountain. It often feels like trying to scale a huge cliff on that mountain with few footholds. Sometimes you slip and dangle above the precipice, hanging on to dear life from the pick that is firmly wedged into the side. When then happens, you breathe in and out. You sweat cold. And for a moment just think to yourself "I'm done with this shit", but never actually let go.Being reminded that you're doing alright. That you're actually impressive. That you actually might make it by just the sheer will you...

I order thai food on Monday night after having a particularly stressful allergic reaction towards the end of the day. Well, it wasn't so much the reaction itself as much as the fact that I had to chow down some Benadryl on an empty stomach, which is always so much fun.By the time I got home, I was dizzy and tired and had a massive headache. It was cold outside, and the wind made me wish that I had thought of wearing my winter coat that day like Accuweather.com told me to. So I ordered Thai off of a place nearby through seamless.com. I got crab...

So it is 6:26 am on a Sunday and I'm unfortunately wide awake and have been for about an hour and a half. Something is clearly wrong with me.That something is called drinking a whole bottle of Riesling last night and expecting to sleep until midday today.Of course, what actually happened is I woke up at 4:30 am with really bad cramps and a seemingly unquenchable thirst for delicious cold water. I was still feeling a little drunk then, which made the climb down from my loft bed an unpleasant experience of pain and dizziness. After stumbling through...

Last night my eyes flew open at 4:30 am after a surprisingly vivid nightmare. The last time this happened, the nightmare was beautifully terrifying enough to be turned into a screenplay. As in the moment I woke up, I understood it to be a dream, and I understood its potential in my story catalogue. This time it was different. As I lay there for a few moments, I looked at my window suspiciously trying to make out if the eschatological event I had just dreamt about had come to pass or not. Eschatology, for those who don't know, is described by the...

Last night I came home after taking a small, but much necessary and well-deserved two-day break from the city. I really love NYC but it is always important to go out and get some fresh country air once in a while. If only to remind yourself that there are places in this world where people live in spaces bigger than a matchbox. The last two days were spent in beautiful Norwalk, CT with a Canon T1i camera in hand filming interviews and being around cats and dogs all day. I got to pet many many cats which made me very very happy. It also made me want...
