My thesis film is still ongoing-- as usual. It has evolved into another story, a simpler one, with a fairy tale to tell in the style of a musical. Yep, it is still on. But I’ve decided to do the wisest thing: take the time I need to develop a good story and not rush into the backward.
so, you heard it here-- “to sing or to sign” or “happiness that died with the bomb” is no longer. but i’d rather not jinx you with the name of my thesis film-- until I’m absolutely sure that this script is good enough.
moving onward to a new era.
will be graduating in the USC ceremonies on May 16th, 2008. congrats to me! yay.

Yes. It’s happened. I hope it gets longer soon! 
It has been an interesting lifestyle thus far. Have moved to North Hollywood, and intend on living the freelance life: be one’s own boss. Quite a challenge in itself, indeed. But at the same time, very rewarding and fullfilling. Nothing like disciplining yourself with yourself; maximizing the human potential.
Got my own desk, an office, and am forming a general partnership with a headshot business. Yep, Tummy Tuck Photography is still on; and we live to service you-- headshots and all. And if you happen to live in North Hollywood in the Arts District, you’re in for a gas-free treat.
And I’ve been editing, writing, producing, and doing all the producing positions (assistant director, script breakdowns, you name it...) and that’s what’s paying my bills. Yep, I still remain in the film industry and am breathing.
Still have one more semester left at the infamous University of Southern California-- at the School of Cinematic Arts.
As for “To Sing or To Sign?” It has been postponed to be shot in October-- and it’s all for the best, really-- since we’re gonna improve our approach, and raise more money, that we need, as well as improve our look and design so it’ll be the topmost quality. I am thrilled that we have a great cast & crew, and everyone has been wonderfully supportive in this film. It’s gonna be the short film of the year!
Keep in touch.

erik and i are going full-scale blast on the work behind the 48 hour film project. we’re hailing locations, creating a logo for our team coffee iv drips, gathering equipment and props, and crewing up. so far everyone’s been extremely enthusiastic and excited about joining us!
will post another blog soon with the official crew roster.
It’s an intense challenge: to create a movie from start to finish (story development, scriptwriting, rehearsal, lining up for location, shooting, editing, composing music, and sound editing) WITHIN 48 HOURS.
Beat that, you people out there!
]]>our photography service now has it’s own domain.
we’d love to work with you if you’re interested!

another day of work come to pass at tummy tuck services. we take photos of cool people, download pictures, make contact sheets, adjust colors, and just plain chat over lovely independent coffeeshop lattes.
all this work and more.
we’re both co-producing a film project for 48 Hour Film. yep, it is what it sounds like; we have to make a film in 48 hours, beginning friday, June 22 at 7 p.m. and ending on Sunday, June 24th, 7 p.m. we’re on their page, as well, we’re the team so named coffee iv drips.
we’re asking eric calbert, dj kurs, gabe jarret, lexi marman, amber stanton, rory oleson, art baum, clay stevenson to join us. we are on a miniscule budget, but it’s all fun and play in a short time. to understand what the hell we’re doing just click here. this should explain mostly what we’re gonna do.
