The Acting for Directors Class with Judith
I just finished two amazing classes in NYC with Judith Weston - learning about acting and directing. Watch out, the people on these pictures you might see at the Oscars in a couple of years.
Dimitris Athos and me, both full of champagne.
12 Bottles of champagne!!!
Be Underground in NYC was a big success for the Rip-Off. The film was selected for a special HBO screening on the 15th floor overlooking NY and eventually won the 3rd price in the Narrative category (12 bottles of Champagne!). I will have to add this to the awards part of the site soon.
After a long time - life drawing again. I was a bit rusty but it was fun

After tons of people asking me about my website I finally decided to invest in IWeb from Apple (You might notice the “discreet” “Made on a Mac” on the bottom of each of these pages. I just wanted something simple that wasn’t going to make me spend eons of time updating my site. It’s a little less cool than I wanted, but a lot easier to use - and less of a time-stealer. Imagine in a total of about 5 hours I have a totally functioning website - How cool is that.
Here’s a drawing I’m working on in Photoshop...it is work in progress. I’ll post it in the personal projects under the drawings tab once it is finished
Richard Lemire, Michel Perron and Elyzabeth Walling in the Rip-Off
Finally!...after tons of festivals and lots of people loving the film we won an award

We were nominated two times for Outstanding Pre-Rendered Visuals with our work from Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. We ended up winning for the Balcony Sequence - it is in the film-clip section. Here’s a bunch of happy fellows holding some heavy trophies.
