October 22, 2006:

So its a month later and I still have not done any updating. Well what can you do...

After a month of touring Germany for the World Cup, I came up with a brilliant short script and set out to film it.

Last week I shot my sixth short film and a spec commercial. The short was my first in Spanish which is very important to me because of my Latin background. I shot in the deserts east of Temecula. It was a great shoot and I am now in Post. I shot High Def, a first for me as well. The Spec was for Monster.com and it was the most fun I have had on a shoot. I guess it helps when the material is hilarious and the actors are talented. I also did a shot for shot version in Spanish.

My next project will be a staged reading for the award winning script, "Blue Sahara," for the Film Industry Network. Auditions begin shortly with the performance in November. Then I return to the field once again in December. Details to follow...
