Happy Year of the Tiger. And happy Year of the Tiger Mask while I’m at it.
Click on the image below to hear a song called “Notorious,” inspired by the Hitchcock movie of the same name. The tune appears on my “Year of the Tiger Mask” EP, recorded in 2020 at Tiny Telephone in San Francisco.
December 4, 2021. A fun night at the Another Hole in the Head film festival, where “Then Came the Firestorm” screened at the New People Cinema in San Francisco’s Japantown as part of a collection of a dozen local short films. Photos: (1) the sold-out theater begins to fill; (2) waiting to watch; (3) filmmaker Q&A; and (4) celebratory cocktails and karaoke watching at Dimples.
Thanks to the fine people at Another Hole in the Head for making “Then Came the Firestorm” an official selection at their 18th annual film festival. My poetry film is one of a dozen shorts playing in the “Strictly Local 1” group, a diverse collection of short films made by filmmakers in the San Francisco Bay Area. You can catch the official screening on December 4, 2021 at the New People Cinema in Japantown (San Francisco, California). Or watch it online from December 1 – 15. Learn more at AHITH.com.
Thanks to Absurd Art House for selecting my short poetry film “Then Came the Firestorm” for the first-ever Absurd Art House Film Festival, taking place on October 23 at the Criterion Music Hall Theatre in Blue Town. That’s right, this coming Saturday, if you happen to find yourself in Sheerness (Kent, UK), head on over to the lovely theatre on High Street for an all-day lineup of absurd films (including mine).
October 8, 2021. Grateful to the Arts + Literature Laboratory for showing “He Runs” and a wonderful selection of other poetry films TONIGHT at the Midwest Video Poetry Fest. Can’t make it to Wisconsin? The show will be available online for two weeks starting on Monday, Oct 11, 2021, on ALL’s YouTube channel.
I’m excited to report that my short poetry film “Then Came the Firestorm” has been named an Official Selection at the Make Art Not Fear festival – coming to you all the way from Porto, Portgual. But wait … there’s more! Another one of my poetry films (“Dear Leviathan”) was also selected! Super huge thanks to the organizers of this cool festival, the one with the best name.
While waiting in an airport security line, I saw the usual signs. No sharp objects. No flammable substances. No firearms. Then my attention was drawn to a large image of a grenade with a red slash through it. Is this what we’ve come to, I thought?
That’s where this song came from.
Thanks to SF IndieFest for selecting “Then Came the Firestorm” for the 2021 San Francisco Independent Short Film Festival. What a huge honor to see my film screened at the Roxie Theater – a movie house I’ve been visiting since the beginning of time! (Well, at least since 1978 or thereabouts.)
I’m very excited to report that my short film “Then Came the Firestorm” is an official selection at the San Francisco International Short Film Festival, which will take place online (Sept 17 – 26) and – here’s the super exciting part – at the Roxie Theater (Sept 18) in my hometown of San Francisco, California.
I’ve been attending movies at the Roxie for longer than I can remember … so it’s mindblowing to think my short film will be shown at this landmark venue.
I’m excited (and honored) to report that “He Runs” has been selected to play at a number of film festivals in 2021. The most recent selections include:
– Sidewalk Film Festival, Birmingham, AL (Aug 23 – 29)
– Montreal International Black Film Festival (Sept 22 – Oct 3)
– Midwest Video Poetry Festival, Wisconsin (Oct 8 – 9)
