As we approach 2010 I find myself, like most folks this time of the year, seemingly extra-busy on all fronts. However, I’ve been doing my best to stay focused on the following projects:

1. The Winter Thaw – a collection of my short-stories that will hopefully be completed/released in the next few months. 
2. A Beginning’s Guide to Producing, Distributing & Marketing Your Independent Film. Co-authored by Marc Vadeboncoeur of Goodheart Media Services (who was DP on our 2005 feature Dangerous Crosswinds), this is an updated version of the previously released handbook to our Digital Filmmaking Workshops. We’re shooting for a spring 2010 release. 
3. Old Man Dogs DVD re-issue. Work has been completed on a new sound remix from the film’s original magstock masters and Wickham Strub (the film’s DP) will soon be color correcting the new digital transfer taken from the original 16mm negative.
4. Looking Back at Old Man Dogs, I’m currently editing this 90-minute documentary which will accompany the DVD re-issue. I shot close to a dozen interviews back in the summer of 2008 with various cast/crew, so far so good…
5. Death & Glory screenplay.
6. The Murder of the Lake screenplay. The current plan/goal is to shoot both Death & Glory & The Murder of the Lake back-to-back once the scripts have been completed.

I apologize for sounding like a broken record as these projects have been kicking around far longer than I would have hoped. But between increased time on the family front and the usual corporate video work that my company produces completing any or all will always remains a challenge. But I’m definitely looking forward to trying…
