This idea of making a docket of films as a sort of informal film history crash course isn't a new one. We did it a couple of years ago, albeit on a smaller scale, before we moved to LA. The movies on our first docket were pretty arbitrary. We basically sat down and said, "What … Continue reading Our Previous Film Docket

Thoughts on the Weekend
So -- we've slept (a little) and now we're back to real life. Abigail's at work and I'm...looking for work. (The life of a freelancer.)
