“Come and See”… Probably the most brutal repudiation of war ever captured in narrative film. It will move you, devastate you, and shake you out of indifference. A true masterpiece of cinema. This message is needed now more than ever. Criterion Collection Janus Films #film #war

In case you missed it, here is The Stranger! It's a Boer War era Western concept that I wrote, directed, and co-produced, backed by an incredible team. It was a real labor of love for the whole team and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! youtu.be/ZVidO1BfobM

The great mistake we made, is that we thought we could rest and enjoy the fruits of our forefathers’ labor. The truth is, the fight for the preservation of civilization is a continual one. The moment we let our guard down, it’s lost.

It was such a treat heading out with the lads to see my favorite film, The Fellowship of the Ring, on the big screen again after 25 years. Though I’ve seen it countless times, I still found myself enthralled at the spectacle of it all. Pure Cinema. It’s time to get back to
