Several people over the last couple years have asked me why I did a film like “Dreams Awake.”  Usually my initial thought (or question) is, why not?  I actually replied that to people a few times before I realized that answer doesn’t go over too well, as if I am questioning a person’s question right [...]

I think one of the most difficult things for indie filmmakers to do is to find their audience.  Or is it that it’s difficult for their audience to find them?  Either way it is not an easy situation.  In going through the whole process, the first thing we have to do is figure out who [...]

“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 really hadn’t planned on continuing down this discussion line for a third time, but with the comments and emails I have been getting, well…I figured I’d take another step down this path.  But in a little different way, one that may get your wondering what this film is actually about, by offering  little more [...]

Besides the comments here on this blog and our ‘Dreams Awake’ Facebook Page, I received several emails after my last blog posting.  So I thought I’d follow it up and go a little farther than before.  But of course, I think we all know there will never be any kind of end to a discussion [...]
