Check out the Ethiopian American’s review of 13 Months of Sunshine. Some key quotes:
“The American dream is like beauty – it’s in the eye of the beholder. For coffee barista Solomon, his American dream is the opening of one day his own coffee shop in Los Angeles’ Little Ethiopia. For Hanna, a recent Ethiopian immigrant [...]

Blogging Sufferage

Blogging ain’t what it used to be. Or more accurately, I’m not what I used to be. Blogging has become, unfortunately, a leisure I no longer have time to afford, though that will hopefully be changing over the next month or so. Due to the time constraints, I’ve had virtually no time to do any [...]

My First Meeting At Sony Studios

I had my first meeting at Sony the other day. It was a typical lunch meeting in the sense that not a lot was discussed about specific projects, but under the surface, boiling like a cauldron, was a battlefield of wits and egos. And not like normal egos. I’m talking movie executive egos, which aren’t [...]

This Horrible, Wonderful Birth

You have no idea what it’s like to feel so close to a project’s completion, and yet still be so far away, unless you’ve worked on a project in which that scenario played out as described, in which case you could easily commiserate with my plight. Really though, it’s less of a plight and more [...]

Everything in the trailer that you see was put together in just over a week, with pre-production and prep work to capture and collect necessary clips and talking [...]

Trailer Park Denizen

I’m on trailer duty for 13 Months of Sunshine, the Ethiopian film I’m editing. We’re actually much closer to a rough cut than I had suspected, though there’s still quite a bit of work ahead. Even though cutting this trailer is actually taking away from editing on the film itself, it’s to rekindle some excitement [...]

Editing A Feature

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 [...]
