It’s taken awhile but here’s “Hawaii” a short film I wrote, produced, directed and edited in 2005. I worked very hard to get it on the festival circuit but to no avail. I did get it into a France/Quebec short film festival in Trouville, France where it won the prize of Best Quebec short, the [...]

Christ Almighty if the Internet is such a wonderful tool of education HOW IS IT that the utter madness that is going on right now in the world of finance is allowed to continue? I have rarely felt as helpless and sick to the stomach as I do today… the facts are out there and [...]
