Nov. 2005
+ Below is my
experimental memormee.video.reel_5263 in Flash Video Format
(Thanks to Sharkle!).
Sept. 2005
+ I was just hired
to design a site for Kalich Organization - Bob & Dick Kalich,
acclaimed writers. The producer Barrie Osborne (The Lord of the
Rings, The Matrix) has partnered with these Gotham-based writers
Bob and Dick Kalich to mount "Beggars Inc.," an original high-concept
comedy script penned by the siblings.
Read the Variety article here...
On a side note, I
had cool time working with these accomplished authors on the
intellectual & literary level. I told them I was a literature
major in college, and so Dick Kalich gave a me a long reading list of
his favorite novels. Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse was number 1 on
his list...interesting.
July 2005
+ I was hired to
direct a music video by an upcoming Chinese-American pop star.
The shoot was low budget with small crew (which I prefer). We
shot in SOHO, Meat Packing District, and the infamous triangle in
Times Square. I rented this new Panasonic 24P DV camera and shot
the music video myself. I really like the look and handle of
that camera, looking forward to using that format more for future
films. Stay tuned for final product, am in editing phase now.
I wanted to go to
the Comic-Con in San Diego this month. They showed
some exclusive clips of movies I am waiting for: Aronofsky's The Fountain,
V for Vendetta, and Malick's The New World
June 2005
+ Zilch updates.
May 2005
+ Will be working
intensively next week for an online short film company...need a break
+ Okay, just
finished watching Sith, lined up for 2 hours at the Ziegfeld Theatre.
What I can say, I am speechless, amazing movie! There are only a
couple of revolutions in the art of cinema - 1. Edison/Lumiere
brothers inventing moving pictures 2. Sound 3. Color and 4. Star Wars!
April 2005
+ Will be attending
the Star Wars
Celebration in Indianapolis to meet the man and father of
digital cinema "George Lucas" and the
artists and craftsmen behind the new movie. I will be covering it via
online video, so stay tuned. Also, been working on this Grant/Proposal
to National Geographic and other Public Broadcast channels, but it is
taking me much longer than expected.
Feb 2005
+ Been busy with
new web business & media projects, my design business is growing, am definitely grateful for that. Well, I did manage
to have a two paragraph treatment done
on my bounty hunter story, outlined my themes, so next
up is to work on some sort of workable script. Can anyone
recommend scriptwriting software for PC out there? I also have
some concept drawings and sketches, very basic for now, that I will
post soon.
Jan 2005
+ Not film
related, but do check out my online NBA collection of the most
sizzling slam dunks and highlights!- [

+ I am
currently working on an experimental imaginative web project titled "Project:
Memormee"dealing with
memory and dejavu based on a short story I wrote 5 years ago
(...hope it
still holds up, it should...it explores memories & dreammemories
and how they are somehow wired into real life, our way of editing them
and turning them into personal myths, our loves-fears-anxieties, an
internal moviemaking mind process that we always do...)
This will be a mixture of flash, digital video, and hypertext
components.
+ Also collaborating with
dv8xtc/synapse grafix & manosij to create some exciting action
packed sci-fi films
featuring the cyberpunk dangerdollz. we are still in
pre-production stages...stay tuned for that! - Paul

Sep-Oct 2004

Well, I have been in the web dev & digital
media business for 5 years now earning a living while
establishing a base for financial and creative independence, hence the lack of new video
works. I realized art is still a worthwhile experience. I plan to make a
couple of digital video shorts and perhaps a feature in the next
year. Also currently working on a script and some story treatments, one is a
quirky little romantic story between an ******** vs. ******* and the other is a dark
************** from the future (this is some stuff that
will fry your brains and bake your noodle)...that's all I can say
for now... - Paul =]
