Not sure if I’m gonna make it the full 31 days (deadlines and all that) but I’ll give it my best shot.

You rarely get this kind of analysis about VFX shots.

WEREWOLVES was rejected by every film festival we submitted it to. Then Universal bought it. This echoes my entire career. Never a festival darling but always got my films distributed by major labels.

Don’t let anyone stop you.

A few yrs back, I collaborated on a graphic novel adaptation for the unfilmed NIGHT SKIES (1980). Our pitch was to create what should feel like a tie-in comic as if the film were actually released in the early 80s, all in the style of Spielberg era films. Unfortunately, it didn’t it come to pass.

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Original 3:10 to Yuma. Beautiful B&W cinematography/framing. Man of the West. Some great Gary Cooper.

A portrait of Robert Shaw as Quint, the shark hunter, in JAWS. Underneath is the scene with his boat (the Orca) following the barrels hooked to the underwater shark

I wanted to do something to celebrate JAWS 50th anniversary last week but I was neck deep in a big deadline and I didn’t have time. Now that the deadline has been taken care of and since today is the 4th of July, what better time to finally draw something? Hope y’all dig my tribute :)
