Quick note to those of you that still have me in their feed. First, Thanks! Second, I’m moving off my old platform onto Wordpress. I suspect when I import all my old posts they’re going to overwhelm the feed.
If that happens, my apologies. Just mark everything read. A day or two later I’ll refresh the 3 latest articles and then everything will run fresh from there.

I just wrapped a 14 minute interview on Digital Production Buzz with Larry Jordon and his trusty sidekick Michael Horton. It seems I’ll never kick those pre-stage jitters that always haunted from the earliest time I acted on stage in junior high.
I’ll update with a link to audio once it’s up.
UPDATE: Here’s the iTunes feed - the interview is March 18, 2010.
UPDATE 2: Here’s the link to my specific interview.
I’m pleased to announce that Fini is (finally) rolling out “PrimaryShots” (PS).
PS is an idea that’s been rolling around my noggin’ for a while. It answers my question: How do I help filmmakers who can least afford me, yet most need me?
The PS concept is simple: You’ve locked picture on your film, you’re happy with the story but you know both sound and visuals need help. You’re on a shoestring budget so you can’t afford a company like Fini. You’d love nothing more than for a professional colorist to come in, color correct a few shots for you (kickstarting your color correct) and give you some pointers on how to proceed. After that, you’ll take it from there.
That, my dear reader, is the essence of PrimaryShots!
A Fini favorite from 2009 (not just the film, but the people), “Beyond Ipanema” is screening on March 18 at South by Southwest.
A passion project from Guto Barra & Beco Dranaff, the film had it’s world premiere at the Museum of Modern Art last summer. It was a great projector (rolling off of HDCam), a fantastic crowd, and featured a live drum line of high school students playing Brazilian-style as the credits finished rolling.
Congratulations to Mike Mazur & Jason Boyer of the feature documentary, “Coming Clean”. Their film was accepted in the New York International Independent Film festival. It’s a bi-costal affair. “Coming Clean” recently screened in LA and we’ll be able to see it here in NYC in July.
Mike Mazur, co-director and editor, and I have been working together for several years. We’ve gotten to know each other pretty well. I don’t think he’ll mind me saying he has seen tragedy resulting from drug and alcohol addition. He’s seen it up close and personal. In the years I’ve know him it’s been clear he’s pulled to showing the kinds of stories highlighted in “Coming Clean”. He was torn by the moral dilemma posed by undertaking this film – and even though the ending makes for good drama, everyone involved wishes things had ended differently. I’m proud to have been affiliated with this project.
