    Moonshine and Cardigans: LAWLESS

    August 28, 2012 /

    The story takes place shortly after prohibition is declared. I've always wondered if the government didn't put prohibition in place purposefully as a way to create commerce. Perhaps they didn't know just how bloody and violent it would get; but like wars, it was profitable. After all, it's human nature to want what you've been told you can't have; and there will always be those that not only find a way to break a law, but make great gains from the disobedience...

    Vertigo: The Artist As A Filmmaker

    August 25, 2012 /

    As I’ve mentioned before, I didn’t see many contemporary films/movies in my youth. Starting at about age 10 through my 20’s, I spent much of my viewing hours watching old movies, with Hitchcock’s Rebecca, Marnie, Vertigo & Notorious at the top of my list of favorites. Of course Alfred Hitchcock is known as the master of suspense, an even as a child I was drawn into the eerie, mysterious, dangerous qualities of these films, but it wasn’t really what fascinated me.  I most certainly didn’t watch for perspective, crane shots, camera angles or filmmaking techniques. Although, I’m sure subconsciously, I responded to these aspects of the films, which we now…

    ROBOT & FRANK

    August 22, 2012 /

    I think most of us who watched The Jetsons as a kid, figured by the year 2012 we'd all have a Rosie the Robot to help us with chores and child rearing, and most importantly, she'd be like a part of the family.  Sadly, although we rely heavily on technology, this family robot way of life doesn't exactly seem to be right around the corner.

    I'm a writer and film and video production person. People always tell me, "Go to L.A. Go to New York. You'll find the creative community there." But I ask, Why not Philly? Why can't our city be a leader in the creative industry?

    SPARKLE 1976 vs. SPARKLE 2012

    August 17, 2012 /

    For anyone unfamiliar, Sparkle can easily be confused with DreamGirls, or even, Mariah Carey's 2001 bomb at the box office, Glitter.  But Sparkle came first. It is the story of 3 choir singing sisters (siblings) who for a brief period of time become singing sensations in Harlem (1958), but are brought low by an abusive gangster and the pitfalls of reaching for a dream...
