Watch all of $5 Cover here…

This is all watchable at the official $5 Cover site – but I’m posting it here as we wind-down on the official launch and TV airings of $5 Cover.
This was an incredibly exciting project to be a part of, and has been a continuation of a weird intersection of my life and Memphis, Tennessee that started with my first-ever short film “The Knocking Box” playing at Indie Memphis, continued with $5 Cover, got deeper when “Address to Silas on the Occasion of the Retreat at Los Angeles County” won best …

Game Show Mechanics

Another passed-on idea that I’m reposting because I still think it holds water: a game show that rewards players for their ability to lie convincingly, not about personal information (a la “what’s my line?”) but about facts. It’s pure bluffing – poker without the poker. It’s called “Million Dollar Bluff.”
As always, would love to hear what you think, whoever you are.

The English Lesson

“The English Lesson” tells the story of a wormy, closeted momma’s boy who gets his comeuppance from a Croatian gangster and his sex-starved wife. There’s not a likable character in it and a very large part of me wishes it had been my thesis project at UCLA.

Your Cell Phone is Your Reality Series

A while back, I was invited to participate in a think tank about mobile/entertainment put on by Nokia.

First-person documentary is a bit of an obsession of mine. I’m making a documentary on my friend, Fi, and 90% of the footage is stuff he shot. His self-filmed DV is far more interesting, raw, …
