White of Eye has been hibernating but is just taking a rest.. when White of Eye wakes up, White of Eye will be very hungry and will probably go eat a fish or something. And then make an awesome movie. Perhaps about eating a fish. One small bit of news: portlandfilm.org is featuring some of […]

I got an email from Thomas Phillipson at the NW Film Center a few days ago that begins: “It is with heavy heart and a wince that I inform you that your entry was not selected for the 36th Northwest Film & Video Festival…” *sigh* oh well, maybe next year. This year’s NW Film Fest […]

Drew from the Free Box sent me an invite that sounds like fun: a fundraiser for an upcoming feature film called “The Corners” by Keith Apland. It’ll be next Wednesday Sept 16th 7:30pm at Kelly’s Olympian. For a $5 suggested donation, the entertainment includes: 2 new unreleased Free Box episodes a showing of “Winona” (directed […]

As I mentioned last post, there will be showing of the best of the 48 Hour Film Project at the Hollywood Theater this Monday at 7:30pm. If I remember correctly from last year, it sold out, so you should get there early to make sure you get a seat. I look forward to seeing what […]

If you see people running around Portland frantically filming scenes this weekend, it’s probably for the 48 Hour Film Project. 56 teams are participating with filming starting Friday night and final edits due on Sunday night. All of the finished pieces will be shown next Tuesday and Wednesday nights at the Hollywood Theater, and a […]

It seems that my WOE blog is pretty influential.. or so some seem to think. I was recently contacted by a couple of people I have never met about helping them promote upcoming showings of their projects through this site. One of them was for an indie film called “Ink” that’ll be showing at the […]

I added together all the movies I watched last week and the total came to 46. Sure, they were mostly short movies, but still.. 46 movies. And most of those locally made. I am experiencing an exquisite mixture of movie-making inspiration and movie-watching fatigue. Hopefully just the inspiration lasts. PDX Film Festival I was blown […]

I just found out about PDX Film Fest which is happening at the Clinton Street Theater May 6-10th. Here’s their short description of one movie I plan on seeing: We are very excited to present Brett Gaylor’s documentary RiP: A Remix Manifesto, which tackles the tricky subject of copyright in the age of the internet […]

Long time, no news! I’ve been away in Vietnam since early March, but now I’m back and ready to make some more movies. I have a few things in the works: another short comedy, Storytime Adventures episodes two and three, a quirky piece about a guy with a memory problem and also a few music […]

You may have noticed that we are in the midst of the Portland International Film Festival. Unfortunately I had to miss the showing that I most wanted to see, the collection of local shorts.. apparently the schedulers did not contact my soccer team to ensure I wasn’t going to be on the turf during the […]

I had my first White of Eye screening! I went to the amateur filmmakers night at Kelly’s Olympian and showed two movies: Storytime Adventures #1 and my recently completed short comedy Documented Roommate (I’ll have that one online soon.) They both went over well.. the singing crabs got a lot of laughs. It was definitely […]

This weekend is the Northwest Film Festival! I hope to have an entry in there next time around, but for now I will be happy to watch other local filmmakers’ offerings. As usual, I’m particularly excited about the shorts.. there are three rounds of them, each shown twice. I plan on hitting up “Great Speeches […]
