Three New Short Films

2017 has been a productive year so far. I’m writing and directing one short film a month for the next six months, and I’m pleased to announce that the first film of the year, “The Bobby Fischer Trap” is finished and now playing at the Art House Cinema & Pub for a whole week!

I am now in pre-production on my next film, “The Passing of Time” which we’re shooting on Feb 26. “The Passing of Time” will premiere mid-March 2017 and it’s about two old friends randomly crossing paths in a cafe and catching up for lost time. One friend, though, is holding onto a secret. Here is the teaser poster:

The Beatles: My Top 20 Tracks

This list was hard to make. After all, to love their music is to need their music everywhere. There’s a Beatles track for most moments of my life; Here are 20 tracks that represent most of those moments.

20. Till There Was You from With The Beatles (1963)

19. I’m So Tired from The White Album (1968)

18. Carry That Weight from Abbey Road (1969)

17. I’m Only Sleeping from Revolver (1966)

16. You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away from Help! (1965)

Top 10 Favorite Tracks of All Time: 2016 Edition

Top 10 Favorite Tracks of All Time: 2016 Edition

Since I was 20 years old, I have published a top-10-tracks-of-all-time list. This has been a yearly occurrence simply to gauge how my listening habits change year over year. For the last, almost 10 years now, my top track of all time has always been “Sometimes” by My Bloody Valentine and this year, it’s being bumped. 

My #1 track this year, when plays, nearly paralyzes my being. If driving and the song comes on, I have to pull over and let it finish before I can resume driving. It has a power over my heart and soul that very few pieces of pop culture possess. Will this track stand the test of time and rank #1 10 years from now?

Top 10 Tracks:

10. You Got It – Roy Orbison

2016 – Year In Music So Far

2016 – Year In Music So Far

Here are 20 tracks I’ve enjoyed since the beginning of 2016. Hastily, they’ve been ranked. David Bowie and Kanye West both made this initial list with two tracks each, but will they make the final list at the end of the year?

  1. Ultralight Beam – Kanye West
  2. Like Only Lovers Can – Tindersticks
  3. I Can’t Give Everything Away – David Bowie
  4. untitled 06 | 06.30.2014 – Kendrick Lamar
  5. I Have Been to the Mountain – Kevin Morby
