As of this week, there are 19 original clips using footage shot for A Life’s Work on this blog. Each time I put a clip up I have a little fear that someone will see it and think it’s part of the finished film. And then look at another clip and say, “Huh, what the [...]

Timing has never been my strong suit. But I must admit these last few months the timing gods have been very kind to me. November-December Edited like a lunatic.

In the spring I worked with editor Cabot Philbrick and constructed a 27-minute work-in-progress sample of A Life’s Work. I’m delighted that Cabot is including a portion of that work on his editor’s reel and you can view it online. I’m especially tickled because he’s showcasing the footage I shot! Of course it’s hard to [...]
