My work-in-progress documentary Penny now has both web and facebook pages where you can link directly to the Not Exactly a Trailer video and keep up with progress on the edit. I am thrilled to again be working with the talented Jessica Sison who edited the trailer. Please visit both pages and be sure to “like” the FB page. Your feedback is always welcome and now you have a place to put it.

My film PENNY was awarded the Roy Dean Grant for Film! The grant organization said "3 tough MALE film industry professionals" loved the trailer and the treatment. It takes a village - special thanks to editor Jessica Sison and cinematographer Maggie Simpson and her crew and, of course, Penny! YAY! Here is the winning trailer.
Apologies to my email recipients for a non-working link! Love that technology thang! Fall is here and I am hunkering down with gingerbread lattes - Xmas starts early at Peets. Work from the summer is on my studio walls to inspire me and film shoots are lined up for my in-progress documentaries Penny and Rituals of Remembrance.
My residency at Gullkistan this past summer was a fabulous experience – “la pura vida”, walking a mile to my studio in the barn at the sheep farm in Laugervatn and watching the gorgeous clouds during the endless days from my apartment balcony. I hope you will click the links for August to also see my last 2 blog entries and, if you have not read them, check my earlier posts with many photos from this endless photo op of a country called Iceland.
Part of my re-entry transition was editing up 4 more video sketches from my experience. (The first one Learning Icelandic Pronunciation by Elizabeth Sher was posted on Youtube in June). Click the links below to view the 4 new video sketches.

Here’s to fall – with special hopes and rain dances for election results to stem the rip tide to the people who are corporations and corporations who are people. Semantics – gotta love it!
