I’m back at school after months of living by the whims of my own schedule and working on my own projects. It feels good to be back and challenged in a completely different way then I’ve been this summer. It’s great to be immersed in the talent, productivity and overachieving energy of my colleagues and [...]

I’m back at the farm filming. Summer has taken over and the plants are out of control. I paused yesterday and took in the landscape and realized just how much it has changed since I started this project last February. And soon, as autumn approaches, the landscape will transform again.

I’m back in NH and I’ve just set my alarm clock for some god awful hour way before the sun comes up so I can be at the farm filming when the sun actually does come up. But lucky me, getting a summer of freedom to shoot and edit my film. This sort of freedom, [...]

I had such an incredible week at Flaherty. I don’t think I’ve ever watched so many films, talked to so many people, drank so much or slept so little. I saw many memorable films – a few of which i will write about in the coming weeks. After sleeping 12+ hours yesterday I’m feeling invigorated [...]
