You gotta sing it. “Money, money, muuuuunay.” What does it do in film and what doesn’t it do? As a film producer I rarely take on a job just for the money. So I have hard time seeing money as anything

more than a means to an end. I mean, a lot of us in the film business

are in this not so much out of choice, but out of need. We need to make films, the same way that police need to protect and serve, or the way firemen need to fight flames. Astronauts need…

Let’s talk about craft services. During these daze of shrinking budgets you’re going to end up having to do a lot of craft service on your own. The times when you could tack it on to your catering budget

is pretty much a memory. But it’s important to treat it with the

telegraphs how you regard them. So, make sure you have SMALL bowls.

That’s right. Serve your craft service up in small bowls.…

Not too long ago I ran into my local café to grab a cup of joe when I heard that sound come from behind me while I stood in line. “Oh hey..David. Do you remember me? We met at the blahditty blah blah.” Now I’m never rude. There are worse things in the world than being a little late to the thing I'm doing next. So I feigned recognition and pressed flesh. “Oh yeah. Of course. How ya doin?” And the guy proceeded to introduce me to his table mate who is a film maker from the neck up . The guy… Continue

Hello All,



I wanted to thank you all of comin' out for the Digital Odyssey Conference. It was great seeing you all again and thank you for allowing me to wax fantastic about Transmedia. It's interesting because two nights later I attended another talk in SF and while everyone there was 'in the know" they seemed to be more concerned with the technology than the story. And that's a big mistake.



Technology is ever changing...it is ever advancing. It is in essence built to… Continue

Marty my buddy, my pal, called me a few weeks back and asked me to write a blog post. I've been threatening the world for quite awhile about starting one of these things and well...as I am the king of procrastination it has simply never materialized. So when Marty called and said,."Hey you should do this." I gave him a dose of the blah blah blahs. To which he responded by calling me on the shit the way only good friends can.

Hence we who are about to ponder and drivel salute you! (And… Continue
