Once upon a time, we made a film in Maine. Today, it is finally available to watch on a variety of media devices thanks to the folks at Flix Premiere. Neptune Movie is all grown up, and today it graduates, moves out into the world, and has its own adventures.

Here's a neat new idea!
PORTLAND — It’s no secret in the film industry that Maine has some of the most beautiful locations in the United States, but for various reasons — largely economic — there are very few motion pictures and TV shows shot in this state.
Hey all! I am looking for a couple crew members for a Damnationland shoot on Saturday, 9/10.
It's unpaid, but you will certainly be rewarded at the pearly gates of Heaven. Just tell St. Peter that you know me. You should be all set.
Neptune was literally nominated for everything it could possibly be nominated for at the Massachusetts Independent Film Fest. If there was an award for Best Craft Service, we would have been nominated. Even though we wouldn't have deserved it.....

Charlotte is graduating from wizard school..... Finally.
It's not often this happens. It's not often you get the perfect group of people, with the perfect source material, and the perfect amount of time.
But this production, Scenes from an Infertility, was all of those things. From when Rhad Davis just wrote a song off the top of his head that made me cry, through a crazy rehearsal schedule with Anna Gravel and David Surkin that turned out to be a crash course in musical theater, up until Barbara Levault jumped on board at the last minute to play two different roles, the whole process seemed perfect.
I just feel so lucky to work with good people that make everything I do better. I hope and wish so dearly to do the same for them. Thanks, guys. You are good. Very good.
There's some many good things about these people. But one of the best is that they can sing. Very well.
