No, I am not the director of Egalite for All

At the moment I (or another person who spells their name exactly the way I do, pretty unlikely) am listed as the director of Haitian revolution doc Egalite for All on Netflix & Amazon . IMDB lists Noland Walker as the director. Unless I have horrible memory or an alternate reality is bleeding into this one, most likely IMDB is correct. Hopefully Netflix & Amazon will update their records soon (pretty difficult to send an e-mail to Netflix about this issue btw). - Sujewa

The Fear Inside's review of the movie Septien

It's an amusing read - check it out . (well, amusing in the sense that it's funny to imagine the author of the review sitting through the movie, & also the maker of the movie is a film critic/film writer who also dabbles in filmmaking from time to time - which i imagine is a tough job - can a professional film critic/reviewer/film writer ever be a good filmmaker? probably, but it would be very difficult i think because to be a critic is to attempt to define a new work in relation to older works & to make judgements about the work not just for oneself but also for a select audience & to be a good filmmaker/artist (of the art film variety at least) is to attempt to pioneer new ways of doing things & primarily select elements that work well for oneself - anyway, all that lightly related stuff aside, i'll have to see Septien for myself & report at some point, if time permits (maybe when i get some time off in like 40 years or something :)) - S

COLD WEATHER review

This is a movie review but it's an unusual review (probably) because I am going to just ramble on and on about the movie & related things for a while. Anyway, Cold Weather, made by director Aaron Katz & team was a good time at the movies. I saw it about a week or so ago at the IFC Center in NYC. Now, I was just very glad to get a couple of free hours & hang out at a movie theater (isolated from phone calls, e-mails, the never ending essential/do today 2 Do list, etc.) because life in NYC is pretty insanely busy (i call it New York Speed - which is like at least 4x faster than the pace of things in other parts of the country) so I wasn't taking a sharp critical eye to the movie but I was watching it with another filmmaker, & the discussion afterwards brought out some aspects of the movie that I did not think about earlier because I was too busy enjoying the movie - and those critical aspects will also be mentioned - later (maybe, if i feel like it when i get th

Back to NYC!

That's right, after being away for a few months (in MD), I am heading back to NYC - will be there starting in December. Didn't get any film work done while in MD (too busy working the day jobs & getting things set up for the move back to NYC), but I hope to pick work back up on the several film projects of mine when I am back in NYC. NYC Round 2 (Round 1 was Fall 2008 - Spring 2010) should be easier - got more & better work (day job work) to help pay the bills over there (& thus, hopefully, more time for filmmaking). Looking forward to December & 2011! - S  ADVERTISEMENT Al Maiorino - Italian Genealogy, Public Strategy Group, & more!  http://almaiorino.blogspot.com/2011/12/al-maiorino-welcome-to-blog.html Italian Genealogy blog ::
