What a whirlwind of a weekend in Dallas.
First day involved a Filmmakers Luncheon at Pecan Lodge, which the restaurant was one of the best BBQ places in Dallas. After the Luncheon we grabbed Bill to head down the red carpet where we did interviews and photos. The first screening was very well received. The afterparty was in West Village. The rest of the night was spent at Bill's with some good old fashion ice cream.
On the second day, I explored Dallas a little bit before going to Bill's. We then did the interview with DIFF before we went to see a screening of Dealt. The film was funny, emotional, and just stunning. The second screening of the shorts also went very well with a Q&A. Amazing end with some local food outside (bring on the warm weather!). Before the end of the night Chuck and I headed over to hear some blues at Poor David's Pub.
The third day we heading back to Chicago as the festival continues to April 9th.
Dallas International Film Fest will be end of March into early April.
Here is the video that really shows what #Chiberia is really all about. The day after the Chicago blizzard and the trees stay frozen in several inch thick ice. Enjoy!
Some good news here! The Appalachian Tale which I edited last year has selected and has awarded it Internationally Renowned Film as well as second place at the Gray's Reef Film Fest in Georgia.
Excited that it was able to be shown on the big screen!
The Applachian Tale has been selected to run for awards at the Greenfest Film Festival. It's in Serbia... so it might be hard to go see :)
Here is the list of other film contenders!
Bad Business is a documentary about the growing acidity in water that in end effects coral reefs. Though coral reefs to people are mostly part of tourism, over time it can effect us in other ways. Though it has no direct impact with humans over time it will have an impact with the whole ecosystem.

Currently working on a new documentary about how the old coal mines in the Appalachian region have effected the water. It many cases changing the water to an ugly orange. In history its a tough choice because though in the past it has lead to a good economy and given jobs but the outcome leads to slowly destructing the environment. History repeats itself as people constantly live in the now.

Here is the final video for Homebody!
I am happy to say that the Boston Marathon Timeline video that I made for SCAD District just became a Vimeo Staff Pick! I am so thankful and surprised. Its a wonderful moment when a dream came true.
This video was made for SCAD District and is response to to the Boston Marathon Bombings.
This video shows the basic timeline of the Boston Marathon Bombings (April 15-19, 2013). During just one week the United States experienced a great turmoil of emotions as trying to pinpoint the reasons why and who. The government, the media, and especially social media were trying to search for answers and all effected each other, similar to Newton's law of motion ("For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction").

Working on a small personal project which is about the band Homebody in which they came to Savannah to sing at Safe // Sound. It was an excellent performance and just making a small sweet and short video for them.
