A Guide to Productive Adulthood

Eleven years ago I bought a brand new camera for more money than I had and set out to make some movies.

Music reworked for Film, #1

It never ceases to amaze me the power of film editing. Whether it's the opening sequence of Up in the Air or the dinner in Sideways, watching masterful editing is a wonderful thing.
