Current Projects

I've made the [small] leap into recording thoughts and updates with the ease of an automated blog site. So, here it begins [ends?].

ANTIETAM: The Boys in Blue and Gray
The series continues with part 2 now in the editing room of Rob Child www.robchild.com . The contract still isn't signed, but this one will pay a bit more and the producing company is making sure everything is just so before releasing funds. This project will be a bit easier for me than previous ones in that this will be more of a traditional documentary and less of a[n almost] movie.

HEDGES PICTURES

Travis Williams of Hedges Pictures in Baton Rouge (Red Stick), La will be filming 4 short horror flicks and asked me to write for these. Hopefully this project is still a go-- I haven't heard from him in a bit but I would think he is in the thick of writing and storyboarding at the moment.

JOHN STANITZ, "Semper Eadem"

John is a film student at RIT and is finishing up a [senior] project -- an excellent documentary on lead poisoning. I've written several short tracks based on a single theme, a childlike tune, that appear throughout in various guises. I'm interested to see the final result.

CARTEL GAMES

Eric Petersen of Cartel Games produces video games -- I found him at Garage Games and interested him in my music. One down, Mythic Blades, and hopefully many more to go.

OTHER LIFE STUFF

I've had a week with Four Funerals and a Wedding (true-- I am a church musician, too). One of the deaths was am 18-yr-old who was killed in a suicide bombing in Cairo, Egypt. The casket was open for a bit before the crowd (700+) started to arrive. He didn't look shocking, so in a way I wish they had left it open, but it was clear that he had died a violent death. That was Thursday's-- Friday's was for a lovely lady and choir member who succumbed, though not without a long struggle, to pancreatic cancer. A very draining week at work.
