Doing an online distribution seminar since we're in that phase of "Love and Taxe$". Streaming has opened up a new range of opportunities for filmmakers, but it's a crowded market with a ton of content. All of this is moving very quickly too.

Hmm. Film marketing is the new problem, same as the old problem.

Desert Convalescence Look Haven’t shaved since the accident. Will do before the work Zoom meeting tomorrow. Not sure Hollywood is ready for this look.

The distribution seminar had some good information, and a lot for us to think about in terns of our projects. There's big opportunity for micro-budget or ultra low budget films. If you can make your movie cheaply, you can probably get enough people to see it to make it

Hopefully rain is coming It’s been very dry and even the cactus need it.

I am approved to drive again. This doesn't mean I am good at it... just allowed to do it.

World’s first civilian built supersonic aircraft flew in Mojave this morning.

Starting on a remote (work from home) gig next week. Something I miss about in-person work was I almost always learned something from the other editing teams that made my work better and easier.

The importance of a pre-flight walk around the aircraft.

The upcoming job will be my first on Avid Media Composer 2024. Previous shows were still using v2018 and there's been general trepidation around the new versions. My last two projects have been on DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro. I'm keen to see what Avid has done.

Obviously I have no idea what happened in the DC Blackhawk/Regional Jet crash, but since everybody is speculating, here's my experience from flying a helicopter at night in Los Angeles: Yes, it's much harder than you think to spot other aircraft in flight. Because of the speeds

The upside of LA: No matter what else is going on, it's probably a nice day.

Why when I actually want to type “duck” does AutoCorrect change that too?

It rained in LA! Fortunately, there was not panic in the streets. I can never remember how to turn on my windshield wipers.

I bought premium wheels, made by a rollerblade company, for the rental office chair. So, now I know how out-of-level my office floor is. I constantly have to pull myself back to my desk, and when I get up the chair rolls over to the center of the room...

It's 4 months since the accident and surgery. I'm mostly back to normal activities, with a few exceptions for things that require strength or agility. I'm occasionally surprised by trying to do something normally and finding I can't... yet. I've never had such an appreciation

A fun short film that took us too long to make... We take ourselves too seriously in this industry. It was good to just do something for the enjoyment of it. youtube.com/watch?v=dKdcFf…
