• Bedevilment and Predation

  by sonnyboo November 8, 2010
  So we put out the first video blog for ACCIDENTAL ART. I think the idea of taking a few potshots at myself and my reputation will make for a humorous thing. People have a certain perception of me and what working with me is like. I don’t mind make a slightly exaggerated parody of this. I started mak...

• Gesticulating the Syndicate

  by sonnyboo November 4, 2010
  I am going to speak at Ohio State to some students about film soon. I used to let things like this get to my head, but doing a little homework, some of the students I’m speaking to have been on bigger sets than I have. One girl worked on THOR and met Natalie Portman, whom I am supposed to stay at le...

• Director's Reel

  by sonnyboo October 27, 2010
  After working on the site and resume, I realized my reel hadn't been updated in over 4 years. This is something I want to do for potential investors as we gear up for fundraising hard core. If they want to see some snippets of my other work in a shorter period of time, this is it. I'd probably also ...

• Revamped Revised and Renewed

  by sonnyboo October 22, 2010
  So I have put a little bit of time into the Sonnyboo.com site again. It’s been a while since I did more than just change a picture or add a screening. In the hopes of putting good will into the world and seeing how much gets returned, I doubled the amount of music for the royalty free music, added ...

• Genus Festuca

  by sonnyboo October 15, 2010
  Yesterday we went to the Cincinnati Oxford International Film Festival, both to do a story on the festival for FRAMELINE and also because ACCIDENTAL ART the short was playing. We arrived a little late and I thought we missed my little 5 minute movie. Instead it played much later in the set of short ...

• How Ohio Filmmakers Got Screwed by Politicians

  by sonnyboo October 8, 2010
  I think all politicians suck. They are out for themselves and never for us, the people. I lean a little to the left, but who on Earth would want to be associated with the Democratic Party? That's like wanting to get beat up and have your lunch money stolen on a daily basis. Similarly, who would want...

• Arithmetic & Budgeting For Film

  by sonnyboo October 4, 2010
  As the script revisions finish, the business plan and budgeting has begun for the next feature film. Since I was a broker, I have some idea how to write for the people with money. It’s never easy and it’s never fun, but I have a knack for knowing numbers. What’s odd is that most filmmakers are terr...

• The Pudency of the Pariah

  by sonnyboo October 1, 2010
  I am attempting something. I’ve taken quite a bit of time off from promoting myself, the Sonnyboo.com site, and the free things I have for filmmakers. As we gear up for fundraising for ACCIDENTAL ART as a feature, it seems like a good time to spread some love, put out the good karma and hope it come...

• Draconian Disturbances

  by sonnyboo September 21, 2010
  Oh how time dogs my every move. I have so much to do and not enough time. Re-writes are my highest priority. Learning my lesson from the past, I am not going to shoot a frame until the script is at 100%. The table read proved we were at 90%, but still not all the way there. My newly adopted method i...
