Sole Mates is done.
I’m sure I could forever tinker with it (if Ridley Scott can do it, why can’t I?), but I have put an end to it. I want to be at peace with this project and move on to others. I spent a good deal of yesterday figuring out the DVD situation, along [...]

Thanks to my friend Megan we got in to the Closing Event, Hell Boy 2, with a miniature awards ceremony and presentation by Guillermo del Toro, director extraordinaire. He had funny things to say, like the story came from “his brains and his gonads”, [...]

Not as wordy an update as some of the previous ones, and for that I offer my apologies. School has started, so free time got a little scarce. My roommate is sleeping now, so if you can’t tell, I’m typing this post very quietly with tip-toe fingers. These last few days have been excellent ones, [...]

Another day at the festival for good ol’ Alex J! Today’s shift was a “Mixer” which is Hollywood for “Killer Party at a Swanky Museum”. DJ, drinky-drinks, people trying to bargain with us to get in and yelling that their name was on THE list (when in reality, we [...]

For your reference, this is an awesome little album player from Jamendo, a site that has free music for unlicensed musicians using Creative Commons to distribute.
I stumbled my way onto Jamendo searching for music for Sole Mates. Someone suggested I use urban hip hop or something to set the tone for the city, so I [...]

(I don’t know why it gets squished…)
As it’s almost Film Festival time down here in LA, I thought I’d update you on my own potential film festival entree, Sole Mates!
Since we last met, I was able to crank out a rough cut of the footage and send it off to an elite team of super-critiquers. [...]
