Instantaneity Please!
For a while now, I’ve been saying that I would never get a twitter account. Today, however, my friend Brooke convinced me to give it a shot. We were talking about how even though the economy is bad, companies are still hiring people to be “social media communication managers” and paying them rather nicely, which [...]
Snow Bunny Screening
Last night we held a private screening of Snow Bunny for cast, crew, friends, and family. Julie and I were very nervous and excited. It is much more nerve-racking to share your work with those closest to you than to do so with complete strangers. Overall, the response was positive. People laughed, people cried, and [...]

Last week our summer movie plans hit a roadblock when the Wisconsin location for our slapstick horror short fell through, but then we realized that we could (and should) film down at Julie’s grandma’s farm.
