It’s movie-making time! Off to NY tomorrow for Christmas and film shenanigans.

I just made a quickie 2009 demo reel today. Here’s to landing new projects to work on!

Channeling creative juices with movie soundtracks

My good friend and fellow filmmaker Frank Hanley once gave me the best screenwriting advice ever: listen to soundtracks while you write.

I have attempted to heed this advice, but I don’t have a lot of soundtracks on my computer. However, what I do have is iTunes and its selection of internet radio channels. I am currently listening to Fistful of Soundtracks under the eclectic category. It’s got a pretty great variety of movie scores and songs – old and new. The coolest thing is that every now and then it plays a random old movie trailer. I just heard one for an old kung-fu flick. It sounds like the ones you’d hear on an old VHS tape before the feature presentation.

Anyway, if you like soundtracks, give it a listen sometime.
