On my birthday last year we principal photography began for Boardwalk Winter. wrote, directed and produced a beautiful movie that I had the honor of being apart. 15 intense days of working and laughing, but most importantly creating a feature here in Virginia Beach. It was amazing to see the finished product debut and I can’t wait to let you know when this movie has been widely released for your viewing pleasure. Photo Credit

French New Wave pioneer Jean Luc Godard passes away. Breathless remains one of my favorite films and totally changed the way I thought about filmmaking. He was the ultimate film fan and became a brilliant filmmaker. Thank you for your contribution to film history

Godard’s career was defined by pushing cinematic language to its boundaries, then breaking them.
