Elegy at Eugene

Elegy has been accepted as an “Official Selection” of the 2008 Eugene International Film Festival.

The festival runs October 3, 4 & 5, 2008 in Eugene, Oregon, USA.

Nourish Score

Today we recorded the new score for Nourish. Johan on piano, Frank on cello, and Dominy: composer/conductor. It was brilliant to sit and listen, even if it was from the sound booth.

Elegy at CalAniFest

Elegy has been accepted to the California International Animation Festival, and has been nominated for the Best Experimental Animation award.

Words for Elegy

Some recent comments for Elegy by reviewers at CamboFest, a film and video festival in Cambodia.

“Intriguing, beautiful. Music works well with it too. Hypnotic, wonderful to look at. Amazing and lush look and feel. Awesome, could watch it all day on a loop. Very well produced, with thoughtful color palette.”

Elegy

My new film Elegy is done, a collaboration with the fabulous musician and composer Roelof Meijer. You can watch it in the short films section.

Facelift

We all need a studio update every once in a while.

Why we need vacation

For fried cheese in Greece, a 24 hour fruit stand in Turkey, and Bolulu Hasan Usta rice pudding at the end of a hard day of Sudoku and Harry Potter. (yes, i became hooked on both! not to mention the rice pudding.)
