Talk to Me (short documentary)

A man makes a documentary about his life by using voice messages left for him over a twenty year period.

When asked in an interview what the biggest lesson he learnt from making the film was, Mark Craig replied "Life's short, and nothing stays the same for long."

This made me cry.

Talk to me.

BARAKA

Released in 1992, 'Baraka' is a timeless fusion of music and some of the most beautiful shots of all time.

"Prisms of Light" Production diary

In the throes of editing my own documentary, I recently took a retrospective look at one phase of the trip, and what I experienced. Hope you enjoy!

'Rough Cut'

I recently started a pretty pervasive fund raising campaign for my latest documentary. Part of it involved writing a letter asking for donations, and sending it to ALL of my contacts.

I had a lot of mixed feelings about trying to raise money in this manner. It's a last resort and I was worried that I was going to piss people off. No one likes being asked for money!

But film makers are famous for using any means possible to raise money for their films. "Beg, borrow, and steal" takes on new significance if you're in the film business! It was shortly after sending the letter, that I came across 'Rough Cut'. Until then, I had never heard "brutally murder" thrown into the equation.

'Rough Cut' is a documentary about two independent film makers who plotted to murder one of their wives in order to clear debts they had accrued whilst making a low budget horror film. And they went through with their plan.

Suddenly I don't feel so bad for asking friends and family for 50 bucks.
