Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that I will be directing a movie this summer (which I also wrote). It’s my thesis film: a short sci fi drama called RESONANCE.

The film focuses on an astronaut who returns to Earth after a year in space, only to find his wife has died. In his grief he becomes obsessed with a frequency from a dying nebula, which he thinks might have a hidden message inside.

Please spread the love, we want all the fans we can get as we roll into production, because that motivates us even more to make something awesome.

If you want you can LIKE the facebook page and support the film that way, and we will be launching an official website soon. New movie posters are going to be released soon, as will a teaser, concept art, and casting news.

Thanks, and I hope you are as excited for it as I am!

rain will move things
around (and make them disappear)
little things
that you might not see
through a window;
all the lost petals
pink and
white
paper boats
and poems
i wrote for you
(and tossed out)
collecting somewhere
in a sewer grate.

My friend Amy is a finalist in the Write Bloody poetry contest, help her get published by going to her video on youtube and liking it!

It’s easy, it will just take a few minutes, and it is a beautiful poem!

go do it now!

and help a talented young poet (and quality person) get a shot of publication :)

our hands found the end of a day
and stayed,
in subtle movements
(in whispers)
of light
and air
tangled in curtains
finding the hushed transparency
of skin,

and we stayed there.

how can it be so easy for
you to put me in a corner
and cover me with cobwebs?

    i’m glass
     bottles
        lost
 to the Atlantic; 
    desperate
      words
 and salt
water.

beard or no beard, that is the question. 

pros:

  • extra Spartan strength
  • looking more film director-y for my film
  • Robert Frost had one (as do Matt Berninger and Glen Hansard)
  • I could look good with one (?)
  • Completes the Sasquatch appearance (women think they are cute)

cons:

  • Completes the Sasquatch appearance (women don’t think they are cute)
  • Hot in the summer
  • Have to deal with woodland creatures making their homestead there
  • Fox Mulder didn’t have one (nor do Sam and Dean Winchester)
  • I could look horrible with one (?)

Leave it to a vote, let the people decide… should I grow one?

plant me in your mind,
i want to take root and drink
deeply from your thoughts.

(here)
on the surface
                  of a storm,
the most honest touch
i have ever known;   
                           (you)
feeling the thunder, and 
the skin
above
         (my heart).
