I found my first directing experience of "All Sorts" to be stressful, yet also fantastically fun.

We’re currently raising money for a new film titled “Love and War”, an allegorical tale set in WWI. Please consider backing the project. It can be as little as $1 and there are rewards available up to Producer credit. You can support indie film and beef up your IMDB page at the same time.

Also, “Tex: Vampire Hunter” will be playing at Bumbershoot’s 1 Reel Film Festival on Monday at 5:30pm!

LA Film Internship Update

Submitted by Chris on Wed, 06/30/2010 - 17:48

Just heard from Emily Williams and Erin Levine - two students who moved to LA after graduation and wanted to let me know about their internships:

Hi Chris!
I just finished my internship on Thursday. I absolutely loved Maguire Entertainment. I loved working in a production company's office and working close to producers. They had me doing regular intern stuff like running errands, reading scripts, organizing etc. However, I was lucky enough

Eric Castro...."Friends", Music Video

Submitted by ericcastro on Sun, 11/29/2009 - 23:00

Just a quick look at a music video I shot a few months back. The video was shot on some sort of HD/DV thing. Probably the Sony EX1 if I remember correctly. We used 2 cameras and a lighting package that could fit in the back of a truck.
