Before I got to spend a couple weeks camping up on Mt. Shasta (which is always marvelous and refreshing), Tim O’Connor (Ambrose in “Dreams Awake”) and his sweet wife Sheila came up to Shasta for a short visit.  He wanted to get out of town a bit before he started the new play he’s directing.  [...]

Just a quick note. I’m taking some much needed time off for a couple weeks, and will be back with more notes the second week of August. I get to camp up on Mt. Shasta for two weeks with some close friends.  So hiking, camping, meditating, hanging out, relaxing and communing with nature up on [...]

“Nearer than breath and blood, closer than hands and feet; what is the sound of one hand clapping?” Our company has some exciting news!  We recently put our next project into full development. “One Hand Clapping” is a project I have wanted to do for quite a while now.  In fact, I wrote the first [...]

I thought I’d talk about the Dreams Awake Portal a bit today.  Actually, what I want to do is give you some excerpts from the 10 content websites that inhabit it.  And then maybe you can see that actually the film is just a conversation starter, and these websites go beyond the film to delve [...]

I have a number of things to pass along to you today: First, we’ve updated the look of our YouTube Channel and will be putting up lots more videos there in the future - http://www.youtube.com/dreamsawakemovie. Second, in case you didn’t catch my radio interview with Judith Conrad you can hear it here - http://www.judithconradradio.com/judith-conrad-radio/wednesday-june-1-2011/ – it’s an [...]

I quickly wanted to pass along a couple events related to the film that will be happening real soon: Tomorrow, I will be interviewed live over the radio in Eugene, OR.  We will of course talk about the film, the making of it, the content, and anything else that comes up about it.  It should [...]

There have been a number of requests for us to have more video that is related to the film in some way available for you.  So, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.  We will periodically be putting up several different types for you to check out: Behind-the-Scenes – We of course have some of [...]

Okay, so I guess this entry is going to be a ‘pitch’ blog entry.  I try to resist playing the marketer as much as I can, but sometimes mixing commerce with art in the filmmaking world is necessary.  Especially if you are an indie filmmaker.  Even though at some level I do find it somewhat [...]

As you already know, that is if you’ve been following this blog (see this entry for more info – http://dreamsawakemovie.com/2011/02/screenings-preliminary-info/), we fell behind in getting our ‘Host a Screening’ Program off the ground.  Well I’m here to tell you that as of April 15th (today) we now officially have a viable program ready to go! [...]

… Yours truly.  Yes, for a change you aren’t just able read my written text here, but you can now hear what I have to say about the film.  I recently did a podcast interview, which is something I’ve never done before.  And it was lots of fun.  Maybe because I got to talk about [...]
