Bio Shock: Infinity

Oddly enough most of my nightmares are like this. You have a gift or power yet you are surrounded by those who want you destroyed or that are misusing gifts of their own. I actually felt a little uneasy after watch the first 10 minutes of this game... ENJOY!!

INDIEGOGO LINKS for SAPIEN FILMS PROJECT, THE MMAC, & BOY THE MOVIE

Yo Peeps!!!



I just came back from the OLD BRIDGE LIBRARY FILM FORUM. The forum was a great success with a rather nice audience turnout. I will be posting some pics soon. Of course, I was one of the filmmakers who was featured (Yippie-Ki-Yi-Yay!!!) and at the end of the forum I even got the opportunity to push the IndieGoGo sites including a new site solely for SAPIEN FILMS.


At the end of this month I will reveal a very significant project that involves all three of these sites so please peruse these pages and donate or pass the word to those who can or want to give.


I have nothing but LOVE for all of you and I wish to thank everyone for their support. Your donations are the life blood of our fledgling organization. Kudos, cheers, and with all gratitude... THANK YOU.

An Anniversary & A B-Day Hoorahhh!

First let me say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PANDA! 

Secondly, the Summer is almost over so lets drink/toast to happiness, success and good fortune (or at least the eternal hope for better days).  Remember to say a prayer for those who are not with us anymore. Hopefully, they did what they were meant to do in this world and are in a better place. And also try to be thankful that you still have breath in your lungs, life's light in your eyes, and hopefully true LOVE in your heart.

What more can you ask for?

ONI MASKS Are On FLICKR!!!!

Just a quick update about the masks. I finished two of them and now I am inspired to do two more... Instead of becoming anxious about the fests I take things from around my house and apartment and create art. It also is very important to note that Halloween is right around the corner so all my masks have that type of theme. The two I finished are of a demon/devil and a ghost! They are friendly though :)

KUTUU JUJUU UA ONI
(Butterfly Magic Flower Demon)

Is just that! He looks fierce and scary but his horns are actually antenna (like a butterfly) his ears are rose buds, and the rest of his face is made up of nature symbols. Even more interesting is that he originally started off as the double faced Janus Mask that I filmed for the Guggenheim Contest. Boredom can either inspire creativity or destruction... Or a little of both.

THE GHOST BRIDE - DRAGONA

She is the combination of a vengeful female ghost, and a dragon! She has three faces and  is suppose to be the companion piece to KUTUU. Both masks are extremely theatrical and I am even considering writing or creating a story around the masks I make just to see them in full regalia on stage.

Below are some pics of the masks. All of the pics can be seen on Flickr.com or at the bottom of this page.

Take care, follow your muse, and enjoy life (even the spooky points (lol)).

Helping Out Friends Of Film & Myself Through IndieGoGo!!!

Hi Friends and Film Buffs

We recently premiered in NJ at a wonderful location in Bloomfield called THE MMAC (Multi Media Arts Center).

It was a great experience and one that I cannot forget. It has come to my attention that THE MMAC needs a little financial help so I am reaching out to you to keep them afloat. It is one of the rare places where you can see indie film and even show your own film there without a lot of hassle and with (if you are good at advertising) plenty of fanfare.

Chuck is a hard worker and owner of this theater. He has been in the arts most of his life. It would really be a crime if this theater closed its doors due to a lack of finance. Just think of all the Great artist in the NJ and surrounding area that would miss the opportunity to show their work without his doors open and available to the public. So please donate to THE MMAC through IndieGoGo. It is all tax deductible so what have you got to lose.

Below are two links to IndieGoGo. One is to THE MMAC IndieGoGo site and the other is to my upcoming film BOY. Hopefully, if you have some money to spare please donate. It is worth it to keep artist opportunities open... Creativity should never be stifled!!!

THANK YOU SINCERELY FOR ALL YOUR HELP. IT IS TRULY, TRULY, TRULY APPRECIATED!!!

BOY: A Story Based On True Events (The Movie)

Hey Everyone!

Below is the IndieGoGo page for my next and first feature length film. It is loosely based on the novella of the same name that I wrote. I don't recommend that you read the book because the twist ending of the film is only insinuated by the novella. Plus, the novella was sent straight to press and did NOT get proper editing.

Please spread the "GOOD" word about this movie. Funding was extremely difficult on the last film and I want to make a progressive leap forward on this endeavor which is slated for next year.

LET'S RAISE SOME DOLLARS AND MAKE A HELL OF A GREAT FILM!!!!

Peace.
