In case you haven’t heard, I’m involved in a webseries project called Cleanthony and the Caesars. The brainchild of Kristie Worthey, best known for heading Shakespeare in the Parking Lot Tacoma (now being re-imagined as Inside Out Shakespeare) lo these many years, Cleanthony and the Caesars is a modern-day adaptation both Julius Caesar and Antony…

Now that my life’s craziness is settling down, I can actually attend friends’ shows again! Went to see Molly perform with The Doubleclicks last night in Portland, and it was most excellent. It was good to see Molly (the first time I’d actually gotten to see her since April, between her schedule and my life…

Happy New Year, Earthlings!
As this post goes live, I should be in downtown Tacoma, getting awesome shots of things being lit on fire. Because that’s how we roll. Tacoma lights things on fire, I film it happening. 2012 was a year of great change. For me, the Mayan calendar was right: this was the end of an era,…

Clackamas Yule Ball
I found out a local library was holding an all-ages Yule Ball, so my little sister and I joined a group of Portland Nerdfighters in attending. Some of the footage in this video is shot by my sister, Jewell, and my new (and very theatrical) friend Chris. While editing the video, I took a look…

Election Day: Voting Matters
Several days before the election, I saw a photo pop up in my Facebook news stream. It was a photo of a woman burning her ballot at Occupy Portland’s #N3 Resist Austerity protest. I think this is ridiculously short-sighted and altogether ineffective. I say this as an Occupier. I say this as someone who is…

Vlogbrothers reach 1,000 videos
As I prepared to head out to the 24th week of the Frost Park Chalk-Off’s fifth year, I began my Friday, September 14th, by watching Hank Green commemorate 1,000 Vlogbrothers videos. Of course, the Vlogbrothers have made well over 1,000 videos. Aside from not counting the videos they’ve put up on their other channels (Crash…

Shooting Snakespeare: Cleanthony and the Caesars
I recently teamed up with director Kristie Worthey, best known as the guiding hand of Tacoma’s Shakespeare in the Parking Lot, to work on a project adapting William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra into a modern-day webseries. Watch the video above for more information and some behind-the-scenes, and the video below to view a…

Dwarf Miner and the Indie Dev Grant
Triston Hopkins is an aspiring video game developer. Most people just play games, but Triston analyzes them and seems to feel a need to know what makes them tick. As a friend, I’ve watched Triston slave for hours and days learning – through the art of self-teaching – and perfecting some new aspect of game…

Keep the Alien in Tacoma
Last year, the Tacoma community and The Weekly Volcano awarded me with the title of “Best Filmmaker in Tacoma”. When I found out, I was floored. It was a huge honor, especially since I’ve been so focused on survival these last few years that I haven’t had much time to focus on filmmaking, especially outside…
