Editing A Feature

By jelewis8 ⋅ February 7, 2006 ⋅ 3 comments

By the way, IE7 Beta sucks. Just the layout is enough to make me think that I’d be better off using a dead cat as a browser than this newest Microsoft incarnation of internet-based evil. I try to keep the geek factor down on Fringe, since not everyone who comes here is a committed desk [...]

Red State DVD Released

By jelewis8 ⋅ January 5, 2006 ⋅ 4 comments

The Red State DVD has finally arrived, and only a month late! The moment you’ve all been waiting for is finally here. Red State, the zombie comedy from Jeremiah Lewis, is now available for purchase. The final covers have been printed, the DVDs are burned and awaiting your orders. The pancakes are cooking, the toenail [...]

pResentation of Red State

By jelewis8 ⋅ November 10, 2005 ⋅ 2 comments

It’s hard to self promote. At least, I find it to be. My own modesty notwithstanding, I rarely have the fortitude to continue the battle for hearts and minds once I’ve placed my finished sword on the table. As with any creation, without promotion of some kind, it will die a quick death. Infant Death [...]

Project Resolution

By jelewis8 ⋅ September 26, 2005 ⋅ One comment

Hooray! Project Resolution has accepted Red State as its pResentation film for October 30. I’ll be there, smartly. Updates to the Red State site have been posted. Post production is nearly complete, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.

Watch Zero Sum

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 22, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

You can now view Zero Sum here. It’s an embedded Quicktime 6 file, so if you have any trouble viewing it, make sure your software is updated. Unfortunately, it is somewhat large (139 MB), but worth it for the video and sound quality. I’ll put up a mirror site within a few days.

Downloading Zero Sum

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 19, 2005 ⋅ 2 comments

I’ll be making Zero Sum available for download as soon as I can find a feasible means of turning 18 minutes of film into a bandwidth-respecting, yet not unrecognizable due to pixel damage file. I don’t do much encoding for the web, so it might take a bit of time.

Trailer for Zero Sum

Zero Sum now has a trailer, with which you may feast your eyes until I can post the film online.

Mouth, Meet Hand

By jelewis8 ⋅ March 10, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

In a bizarre turn, The Jacket director John Maybury, a Hollywood newbie, took pot shots at the films that recently won Academy awards, calling Million Dollar Baby a “piece of shit” and complaining about Thelma Schoonmaker’s editing for The Aviator. He says his new film, starring Adrien Brody and Kiera Knightly, isn’t a tired, formulaic [...]

2004 Academy Awards

By jelewis8 ⋅ February 23, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Two weeks ago I couldn’t stop thinking about what I was going to wear to the Oscars. At first I was thinking I could go with the casual chic that has so marked Michael Moore’s career: trucker hat emblazoned with a Gothic ‘B’, large button-up number, brown, extra-wide pockets, XXXXL blue jeans (slightly worn at [...]

A Very Old Volume of Lore

By jelewis8 ⋅ January 7, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

In a given day I can hop from converting massive amounts of old Word Perfect files into the modern (and stylish!) Word documents that are more common and popular, to something completely different, like say, playing Half-Life2, for which I have nothing but praise, to listening to the soundtrack to Sabrina–the 1995 Sydney Pollack remake, [...]
