    A few months ago, I was contacted by a director/writer who told me of a script he had written that he was planning to make into a movie. We chatted for quite a while, and I agreed to help him with promotions, interviews, and anything else I could. It just so happens that I finally have a moment to share […]

    SYNOPSIS Housed in an 18th-century estate, school life at Headfort embraces tradition and modernity. For John, rock music is just another subject alongside Math, Scripture and Latin, taught in a collaborative and often hilarious fashion. For his wife Amanda, the key to connecting with children is the book, and she uses all means to snare the young minds. For nearly half a century these […]

    There is really almost nothing I enjoy better than talking with people who have inhabited this planet longer than I have. I used to be that one who would settle back and listen to my grandfather tell me stories of days gone by. My parents trained me to respect those who were older that I, and it is something I continue to […]

    Because I follow the life and career of Tammy Gillis so closely, I was well aware of her current film, Menorca. Being the indie film champion that I am, I did my homework and discovered who the writer and director was–John Barnard. Recently, I had the opportunity to ask him a few questions about how he got started in the business, […]

    Last year, I procured an interview that substantially altered my outlook on TV and films. Until I spoke with Kyle Hester, I was utterly clueless about independent films or crowdfunding–I didn’t even know the term “indie film.” As far as I was concerned, Hollywood made the films, and I paid the money to go see them, and they earned the “big […]

I got connected with Melanie Wise and the Artemis Film Festival, and after interviewing her last year, I made the decision to travel to LA on my own and […]
