Escape Into My World

My Thoughts on The Host.

2013-04-22T22:30:00.002-07:00

I have finally been able to break out of my cave of a home and break free from some of my schoolwork (just finished laying down my timeline for my short film, "The Hero"), and I was actually able to go see a movie tonight, which one did I pick? Of course, The Host. I had heard mixed reviews about this film, although surprisingly not enough chatter. Maybe that's because I was so secluded this

The Hero is on it's way!!

2013-04-04T19:34:00.000-07:00

Well, after a month of sleep deprivation, twelve to fifteen hour shoots, and working these grip muscles. I can say I am beginning to feel like I know something about film. The Hero, my student film about a unique story of PTSD, has been processed and I now hold the DVD Cam of my raw footage. I get to start importing this into my editing software next week and I can't wait to see how it all

Three films in 72 hours with half the sleep!

2013-03-18T19:20:00.001-07:00

Nicki Farnsworth, Joe Mascort, Topher Tebow and Emma Daley Well, we finished our first weekend film shoots for our student films. It was two days of 12 hour shoots with a 15 hour shoot to top off the last day. And the best part was being sick with the flu the very last and longest shoot we had. We had one film student no show because of the flu and another had to leave early, so on the last

Film Student Roller Coaster....

2013-03-10T22:16:00.002-07:00

Well the ride never stops. This month has been ober crazy, which is why I chose now, tonight, to write something. But, I have to keep you all updated cause I have been up to a lot of exciting things this month and have many more things to accomplish already. We start shooting our student films this lovely Spring Break (yeah, I don;t really get one), and I am excited. I ordered my film, spools

Some people Scrapbook, I storyboard!

2013-02-17T13:11:00.000-07:00

There are those that scrapbook, spending hours upon hours placing memory after memory down on elegantly crafted paper....and then there's me this last week, spending hour upon hours taking photo after photo of shot that I'd like to use in my upcoming student film creation, "The Hero", (A short narrative about a retired soldier with PTSD and his wife trying to live a normal life), and then

Help me fund my first film project, and get the word out about PTSD!

2013-02-14T14:34:00.000-07:00

Hey, everyone! I have started an Indiegogo campaign to help fund my student film about PTSD. Please check out my video to learn what my film is about and how it can benefit those suffering from PTSD. Thank you.

Bliss and Utter Chaos!

2013-02-03T17:09:00.000-07:00

I've had a lot of people want to know more lately about what I have going on in my life. And although I consider my life rather boring; all I do is hide inside the house and write one of my many projects or edit videos--except for the occasion I am out actually filming one of my videos. But, I suppose that might be interesting to some. A lot of you come here to my blog for writing advice,

Authors and Inspiration...

2012-12-18T21:59:00.000-07:00

I had to share this with everyone, because It touched me so much. Authors spend most of their days buried in computers writing thousands of words, posting here and there, frantically checking progress of their titles and finding ways to improve. It's a busy job and it's easy to get buried in the every day. But when someone goes out of their way to express appreciation for the work you did, it

Review of Fifty Shades Darker

2012-11-23T15:15:00.002-07:00

Fifty Shades Darker by E.L. James My rating: 4 of 5 stars I can't give this book any less than four stars right now although I am slightly disappointed at the conclusion. I know there is a sequel that I hope will finish this story off nicely. I was glad that there was a little less dirt and a lot more love making in this sequel, to be honest. I think I was beginning to get a little sea sick by

I have to brag a little bit. Some colleagues and me, from my film school, decided to shoot this Doritos ad and enter it into the Crash the Super Bowl contest. Check it out! If we win, we get to have our commercial played during the super bowl and you all will get the pleasure of knowing it was you who got us there.

2012-11-05T19:40:00.000-07:00

The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa My rating: 4 of 5 stars I can't finish this book. If I am not completely captivated by the first three chapter I'm out, I don't have the time to finish. But, the writing is good the story is very thorough and interesting, jut not my type of read. Definitely YA. View all my reviews

Review of Argo...a must see for everyone!

2012-10-14T22:29:00.000-07:00

I could not wait to write this review. I have never been so blown away when I left a movie theater in my life. First off, I have to admit I am not usually very into these type of CIA films so I mainly went for my husband..although the trailers for the movie looked pretty good so I planned on at least seeing it. I have to say that I think Ben Affleck may have found his calling in life. He not

My latest T.V. Series addiction...

2012-10-11T20:33:00.000-07:00

I love this family!!! I have to talk about this because I have to know who else out there shares my love for this televisions series. I love the conflict in this series and that is probably what draws me int he most. You have what looks to be an average High School Chemistry teacher who has been working part time as a car wash cashier that finds out he has cancer and after a ride along with

Review of "End of Watch"

2012-09-30T21:19:00.000-07:00

When the movie started out I thought I was going to puke, but as it went on I had to love it and admittedly I cried, a lot! This film started off with a car chase for at least two minutes and I though "no! who told you you could film like this?" It is my absolute pet peeve when movie makers try to use the raw video cam effect and forget to fake it on the super action packed bumpy ride. I

Review of the movie, "The Hunter"!

2012-09-24T22:59:00.000-07:00

I rented this movie from Redbox, I had never heard of it before, but the synopsis really grabbed my attention. With Boondock Saints, Willem Dafoe as the main character this film was bound to be a hit. But what I hadn't expected was the depth and beauty of this film. I felt that almost every scene had some hidden poetry to it and lead me to eventually download the song from the "boss" Bruce

Fundraiser for Dennis Allen, Cancer cause...

2012-09-05T12:10:00.002-07:00

Update to the previous post below: Dennis Allen's cancer has been considered inoperable. The tumor, when we were told of his condition, was said to be the size of twins. Last week the doctor basically said that he was too undernourished to make it through a surgery. They have given him four months to live. However, in researching alternative treatments we found a cancer treatment center

Review of "The Bourne Legacy".

2012-08-14T22:17:00.000-07:00

Personally I was not all that interested in seeing this one, only because I sort of got wore out of Matt Damon and the Bourne sequels. Also, I am not all that much into action flicks. I do however love Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weiss. Ultimately I went to see this for my husband, and It was a good flick. There was some substance to Jeremy's character, which I liked a lot, and the story had a

My review of "The Dark Knight Rises" and how the Colorado shooting affected my enjoyment of the movie

2012-07-26T22:28:00.000-07:00

First of all, I loved the first two Batman movies in this epic trilogy. But, I barely heard anything about the supposed final movie, in the Batman trilogy reborn. It wasn't until a month before the movie released that I saw the poster in the movie theaters, and although I was happy the sequel was finally out, I hadn't seen a lot of trailers and advertisements for this installment and I

Review of Prometheus!

2012-07-16T23:59:00.000-07:00

First off, this was not a movie that was at the top of my "to watch" list. But, since I have watched all my favorites already, the pickens were slim, as they say..you know--them. Anyway, I thought it looked like a good enough action flick with some sci fi in there, couldn't be bad right? I have figured out that I am not a super sci fi junkie, even though I write sci fi fantasy, I think there is
