Athens in April anyone? Thanks to the International Video Poetry Festival for making “How Much Filipino” an Official Selection.
Other recent selections include the Home Is Distant Shores Film Festival in Cary, North Carolina, the Monologues & Poetry International Film Festival in Vallejo, California, and the Dreamanila International Film Festival.
All in all, the film has been selected for eight festivals so far. Let’s see what’s next.
Many thanks to the 12th Ó Bhéal International Poetry-Film Competition for selecting “How Much Filipino” for their Winter Warmer Poetry Festival. All films will be screened at Nano Nagle Place in Cork, Ireland and streamed online (Nov. 24, 2024).
Judges selected 30 films for the festival from 174 submissions received from 144 filmmakers in 29 countries.
Super-huge thanks to author Maria Victoria Yujuico for focusing on “How Much Filipino” for her Positively Filipino Magazine article on contemporary Filipino artists and historical memory.
Working on this short film has been a true labor of love.
I couldn’t have done it without Rae Steinwand’s animation and an original score composed and performed by Theresa Calpotura.
This film is now heading out to festivals around the world.
Let’s see how it does.
I’m very honored and humbled for “The Missing Book” to be an official selection at the MALDITO FESTIVAL DE VIDEOPOESÍA to be held November 15 at the Teatro Circo in Albacete, Spain.
For those unable to travel to Albacete, “The Missing Book” will also be shown online as part of the festival starting November 16.
Thanks to the Poetry in Motion Film Festival for naming my short film “The Missing Book” as an official selection in this year’s event. Poetry in Motion” is Colorado’s Premier International Poetry film festival.
Here’s a trailer for a short film I’ve been working on for quite some time – like my whole life if you think about it. I plan on sending the film out to festivals and other places soon. Wish me luck.
Very special thanks to:
Theresa Calpotura – original score
Rae Steinwand – animation
Jacob Winik – mastering
“Dream of Sailing” is a short poetry-film set in a faraway hospital where the narrator, recently returned from war, imagines a life at sea. But will he ever leave the confines of the infirmary?
Thanks to everyone who played a part in creating this film.
And now… here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the all-new “Fear the G-Drive” album. “E Is for Elephant” is the opening number on the record. It’s also a fun new lyric video (edited by Nico Sotomayor).
All the images in this video come from the spots where the record was made. TW’s Mancave Studio in Calistoga! TOP 1 Studio in San Mateo! And Tiny Telephone Recording Studio in Oakland!
Fear the G-Drive. Made in California. Turn it up to 11. If you dare!
I’m looking forward to checking out a screening today of “This is Where We’ll Build the Labyrinth” at the Balboa Theater in San Francisco as part of the local short film collection at the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival (1:30pm, PST).
My film is also playing on Dec 9 at the 4 Star in San Francisco with a group of animated shorts.
Can’t make it to SF? That’s okay, you can see the film online later in December at the official website of the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival.
