I recently read (again) the Steven Spielberg biography by Joseph McBride. There is a passage in the book that always gets my attention.
“Early in 1977, when Close Encounters was still months away from completion, George Lucas showed a rough cut of Star Wars (without John Williams’s rousing musical score) at his San Anselmo home, in northern California.

I recently re-cut one of my first films which is now entitled “Our World Order - redux”. The primary driving factor for re-cutting it was to make it black and white which I had started a long time ago, but was re-motivated as of late by “The Artist”. But as long as I was going to do the change to monochrome, I also cleaned up a few other things and before you know it was almost a new film. The story line is unchanged, but I...
WISER THAN HIS YEARS
Ethan is a little boy with a big problem. Ethan's father is the source of that problem. Watch the short filme, ETHAN, to see if father and son can reconcile their differences.
I just finished a trailer for my short filme, "ETHAN". Ethan is a little boy with a big problem. His father is the source of that problem. Ethan is wiser than his years and will bring that wisdom to bear in his attempted solution to the problem. See the short film, "Ethan" to see if father and son can reconcile their differences.
This was not a simple project. The short filme is only five minutes long which does not provide a lot of material without giving away the fil...
