Why You Should Care about Ninjas

Well, the national results are in for the 2008 Diesel Film Race. My film did not place in the top 5, and neither did this one, which I thought was a bunch of bologna. I think the judges made some shitty decisions, but hey, what can you do. Here's a film that also did not place.

Exciting News from Razor USA

Apparently my little RipStik movie that I made last spring entitled "Grip it & Rip it" has made it's way across the country to the lovely people of California. In the last week I have been contacted by both RipStik USA and RazorUSA. They just happened to love this little film and the marketing people at RazorUSA (as in razor scooters) have asked me to do a series of online videos for them in order to promote the new Razor RipStik. I will update when I know more details. Here is the video.

Checkout - by Dan Eckman

This is a student film directed and co-written by Dan Eckman who is known now for directing the comedy sketches of Derrick Comedy. It's a bit long but it's definitely worth the watch if you have the time. One of the best student films I've ever seen.
