I realized when I was coming off of three weeks of vacation that I was burnt out. So this year has been gentler. I'm still working hard, but I'm tired and I have no idea how I managed to do everything I was doing before. In any case, here's what I'm up to.
Charlene, the short film, is now a proof of concept for a longer film. It's done being color graded and is being scored.
Beyond the Pause, a documentary and YouTube channel will have it's first interview go live this February.
I'm editing videos for the LA county about the fires that devastated LA in 2025.
I'm working on a grant to help fund the pre-production for my feature film, Those Days of Summer.
