Cinema Eye Awards 2008
Festival Founders rock out with their docs out! I shot press stills and interviews for the Cinema Eye Awards – the first awards show totally for documentaries. Sponsored by IndiePix, the event was a raging success, and really inspired me as a documentary filmmaker. It had me fired up to keep going, and to know that a room full of great minds knew my personal pain and joy deeply. We all share this bug, this nagging desire to communicate... Read More
Éireann go Brách!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I celebrate being a Celt on this day, my roots deep in green shamrocks. Its evident in my red hair and my innate storytelling brilliance. And my utter lack of modesty! Hahaha… We Irish are fierce, and when we fight, its not to win, its to destroy. We have no fear and we often had nothing to lose. Plus, we do love a battle. Donnybrook to debate, its more fun if its got a bite to it. We are... Read More

Obama Piece
I think it not improbable that man, like the grub that prepares a chamber for the winged thing it never has seen but is to be – that man may have cosmic destinies that he does not understand. And so beyond the vision of battling races and an impoverished earth, I catch a dreaming glimpse of peace. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. This is a piece we’re developing for UrbNews.tv. Check it out!

Spitz or Swallows…
BUSTED! Silly moralist – tricks are for kids! Now how does the man who busted a prostitution ring, of bargain hookers, end up with a $5,500/night call girl in Washington? Oh, yah, politician…hmmm… Now if he told his kids or wife they had to cut back or couldn’t get that new bicycle, dress or Playstation, he’s doubly screwed. “Daddy told me I couldn’t have a new laptop, cause he spends all his money on...

Hillary Tanked Stan Lee & Peter Paul
Check out this trailer. Very interesting… If I hadn’t already had a healthy suspicion of the Clintons, I know now for sure I’m not interested in voting for such vicious and ungrateful people.
