Hi world

Haven't updated on this front in a while but it's enough to say that the short film CHASING COTARDS, based on my screen story, is due to shoot in the early part of this autumn.

Dream well.

WEST AGAIN

Hi world

Just checking in with some newly forming writing news. I don't have any information available yet as to publication dates and so forth but here's what I can tell you: there is a book forthcoming of writing about the Western movie in all of its rich diversity. I am booked to contribute some words to this new volume.

When I have more to tell I will.

Dream well.

MJ GONE AWAY

Hi world

It was sad to hear that Michael Jackson died yesterday. His music and image was such a familiar part of my childhood growing up in the 1980s. A short film he starred in and which I enjoyed when I saw it at Disneyland Paris was CAPTAIN EO. It's a nifty little film that celebrates the need for creativity in the world. Always worth remembering that.

Dream well.
