SHOOTING SINGING RIVER HOSPITAL SYSTEM TV 09'
mARCH 30, 2009...

@ Sundance 2009!

In Feb of 08' I was one of the cinematographers for a Canadian Doc shot here in Mississippi called 'Prom Night In Mississippi' (Directed by Paul Saltzman)

Well, - it got into Sundance this year & so I went!
It was my 1st time to Park City!


From Sundance's web site: http://festival.sundance.org/2009/film_events/films/prom_night_in_mississippi
"In 1997, Academy Award–winning actor Morgan Freeman offered to pay for the senior prom at Charleston High School in Mississippi under one condition: the prom had to be racially integrated. His offer was ignored. In 2008, Freeman offered again. This time the school board accepted, and history was made. Charleston High School had its first-ever integrated prom—in 2008! Until then, blacks and whites had had separate proms even though their classrooms have been integrated for decades. Canadian filmmaker Paul Saltzman follows students, teachers, and parents in the lead-up to the big day. Freeman addresses the student body. Girls shop for dresses and get their hair done. Boys rent tuxedoes and buy corsages. These seemingly inconsequential rites of passage suddenly become profound as the weight of history falls on teenage shoulders. We quickly learn that change does not come easily in this sleepy Delta town. Freeman’s generosity fans the flames of racism—and racism in Charleston has a distinctly generational tinge. Some white parents forbid their children to attend the integrated prom and hold a separate white-only dance. ""Billy Joe,"" an enlightened white senior, appears on camera in shadow, fearing his racist parents will disown him if they know his true feelings. Prom Night In Mississippi captures a big moment in a small town, where hope finally blossoms in black, white, and a whole lot of taffeta."

**UPDATE** - PROM NIGHT WILL BE PREMIERING ON HBO MONDAY JUNE 29TH!!****
Here's video of after the 1st premier with producer Thabi Moyo & two of the main cast of the film Jessica Shivers & Chasidy Shante Buckley.....









BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE CNN STORY.....

Mississippi Dept. of Health "Missing Out"

& now: Brent Hearn's out-takes! What a trooper!

The Grim Reaper Show....

Latest production: The Too Late Show With Grim Reaper...
It's Epic...
So, the premise is that the grim reaper has his own late night network tv show & interviews people about death. This week: he focuses on tobacco products. People who promote it. People who make it. People who die from it...
These are 'teasers' ("Next - On The To Late Show!")for the supposed upcoming shows are to point people to the Mississippi Dept. of Healths anti-tobacco website http://www.toolateshow.com/
Where one can see full interviews with the quest.
We shot the full episodes & then cut :30 second teasers for each segment.

1st we did teasers for the teasers:









THEN, THE ACTUAL TEASERS:




(AS OF MARCH 10 - WE'RE STILL CUTTING NEW TEASERS...)
Production by Krauscape Films, Inc.
Agency: Maris West Baker

FAIR TIME!

giving into peer pressure

after over a year of dissing the iphone for lack of basic capabilities like cut & paste, texting a picture, lack of video camera & the general near mass histeria hype that made even me (a mac lover) sick to my stomach.....

I gave in.
cause, - you got to admit.. it is a cool phone..
and I got tired of windows mobile 6 on my TREO 750.

The device that started it all & changed my life: Betamax

A house in Natchez

THE COUNTRY DOCTOR now online...

To have posted this on YouTube I would have had to cut it down to 10 min..
Which I wasn't going to do..
A joint effort between my friend Morgan Currie & myself between 2001 & 2003..

A strange little film that could be described as if John Waters & Lars von Trier got together to do an adaption of Franz Kafka's "A Country Doctor."
Other influences were Federico Fellini, Harmony Korine, ect....

Zero Budget. Available Lighting. Non-Actors....

I'm still very fond of allot of the imagery we came up with...
but yeah....it's weird..

I like it anyway.

Two Images That sum up December 2007

The day they took the Civic away or The day I fixed my blog...

December 19, 2007 -
Hooray! Finally fixed the problem with my blog!
Now, - do I go back & update the past 24 months??
Knowing me, - probably..

And, - The day they took the Civic away...
I recently acquired a 2002 Ford Explorer..
& just in the nick of time.. the 90' Civic I had been driving for the past 10 years was on it last cylinder....
no a/c for 7 years, 1 of the 4 cylinders not firing, leaky radiator, drank oil, & 160k miles on it -
& it was just long in the tooth.
But it got me from point A to Point B for a long time.

Thank you 1990 Honda Civic.

I donated the Civic to the Kidney Cars Program.
