Bella Italia

I’m excited to announce that “Then Came the Firestorm” was named a Semi-Finalist this week in the Videopoetry category at the 10th Bologna in Lettere festival.

Here’s some info from the official website about Bologna in Lettere – A Multidisciplinary Festival of Contemporary Literature.

The festival was born from a previous project called “Necessary Literature,” which aimed to eliminate territorial barriers by creating multimedia events. More than 1,500 authors from various backgrounds (poets, writers, critics, philosophers, video artists, musicians, performers, and others) have participated in the previous nine editions of Bologna in Lettere.

A Night in Japantown

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.

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.

Live at the Roxie

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.)

Film Fest Update: “Then Came the Firestorm”

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.
