Things to Share!
First up is Cheeseburger. This is a film I produced for my good buddy Louis Matta. I also helped out with a few re-writes plus Im in it. This took the bulk of my time this semester but Im very happy with the final product AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO! Enjoy!
"Cheeseburger"
Next up is Jesus Christ! Here I was the sound guy, this was the simplest sound job but one of the most entertaining shoots I've ever been on. Read the credits they are pretty funny also
This next video is hardly a final product. I wrote a short called Stache'. It's about a guy (played by Brian Pruzan) who loves Charlie Chaplin and out of homage to the comedian, he decides to rock the toothbrush mustache. Unfortunately not everyone quite gets it. This is a scene between Pruz an Lauren Rettig (who plays his girlfriend) The music hasn't been put in, the title cards aren't in the style they will be, the paceing is being slowed down too, and I need to edit in another close up of Pruz. This is just a rough sample. Oh and I'm gunna give it an old film look when the whole thing is done. Don't be too harsh remember...rough cut.
This is another class project I had to do. It's a music video to the song "Worst Day" by The Forces of Evil. Due to time constraints I had to cut the song/video down...a lot (you'll see where)I plan on finishing it at some point.
Next is another project I'm the sound guy on. This project is still in production. It's called a Fine Line and it's Matt Hahn's senior project. Here is the teaser trailer.
a fine|LINE: Teaser Trailer from Matthew Hahn on Vimeo.
This is the last thing I can show you. It's a web series I was hired to do audio for, this is some behind the scenes stuff. If you follow this back to youtube there is more stuff. It's called the Little Rhino Production Company and will be up...eventually.
Thats all the video I got at the moment. I also did audio for Ryan O'Leary's "Bruce's Garden" and Christian Qatani's "Let the Music Set You Free" (as well as grip work.) I worked on a few commercials as a PA that I currently can't find online too.
This semester was pretty crazy, but next semester...we got some good shit on deck so stay tuned people, stay tuned.

Things are happening
Recently I submited a script to Fox. They were having a contest for comedy pilots. I didnt win. This however may turn out to be amazing.
Instead of the original plan of have it be a half hour sitcom, Booked will now be a short web series. 8 scripts have been writen so far. Each episode between 4 and 10 mins and now it will all be done on my terms.
Im looking to start shooting in october. Still need to cast and gather crew. Locations are in the works. Then I just need to get some domain space and post. Not to mention the million other places ill be posting YouTube, Facebook, Vimo, Google Video, and probably here. So once its up dont give me any crap about not being about to watch it cuz once Booked is up and running, there will be no escape...but you know in a good way.
Stay tuned!

Acadamy Awards!
#1 Up!

Up! is not only up for Best Animated feature but also Best Picture. And it damn well should be because it certainly is the best flick I've seen this year...or in a long time. Just a damn good story, I gotta hold back tears every time I watch it.
#2 Up in the Air

Up in the Air turned out to be a whole lot better then I expected. Clooney rocked, the story was consistent and it was my favorite kind of ending (won't spoil it)
#3 The Blind Side

. Usually I hate Sandra Bullock but god damn was this flick powerful.
#4 Precious

Fuckin emotional. Monique, who you usually only see as a comic gives one hell of a performance. At points this flick is hard to watch
#5 District 9

I loved this movie. The whole idea of it is so accurate to how we would treat aliens if they were to come here. Never in a million years would I have expected it to be up for Best Picture but it almost makes up for last years Dark knight snub.
#6 Inglorious Bastards

Quinton Tarentino made one hell of a flick. Brad Pitt is phenomenal and even Mike Myers is great. An all around entertaining flick, also didn't see a best picture nom coming but it's awesome that it did.
#7 Avatar
This is the last of the nominated films I have seen. It is at the bottom because over everything else, I look for a great story and Avatar just didn't have it. Nobody is denying it looked great but a good film, a film worthy of Best Picture status needs more then that. I don't care how much was spent or what box office records it broke Avatar is not the greatest film to come out this year, and certainly isn't of all time. Sorry James Camron but I'll be pissed if this wins.
The other 3 movies nominated are "An Education", "The Hurt Locker" and "A Serious Man" I have not seen these flicks yet but I plan to and will update this after I do. For a list of all the other Nominees in other categories visit http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/abraham/detail?entry_id=56476.
That's all for now folks

Quick fix to Haiti...that won't happen
Recently a little flick called Avatar was released, maybe you've heared of it. Well this little flick continues to make a ton of money and sell out 3D Imax showings. Same flick has pulled in almost 2 billion dollars. Second highest grossing flick of all time. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO why don't we simply take half the revenue of that flick and GIVE IT TO HAITI!
Most movies don't break a billion dollars but the studios and people involved still sit pretty. It's not like James Camron needs another billion dollars. How the fuck is there an issue with the economy when a movie with 3D blue people can gross almost 2 billion dollars? Where do people in Hollywood get the sack to ask us to donate money when a more intense fern gully continues to make bank?
Haiti got royally shit on and Avatar continues to do awesome. I'm not asking allot, just give em half, that leaves you almost 1 billion dollars to do your thing. That is my solution to Haiti, I'M LOOKING AT YOU JAMES CAMRON!!!
I give a shit, I do, I've given some money but I can only spare so much. 1 billion when your sitting on way more then that, aint so much to ask. You can fix this shit, make Avatar really mean something. The message behind that flick is that we are all connected, let them feel the wealth of Avatar instead of the devastation of Gili
