  • Taking the Moment

    I’m not a creative person. Now typing that “out loud” might elicit some “of course you ares”, and that’s super sweet, but I’m ok with it. I promise no one is going to compel you into including that in my eulogy.  The truth is my brain is simply not wired that way or perhaps it’s…

  • Family Update: My Summer Vacation

    It’s that special time of year when I use my blog to update my family and friends in a way that will bore the snot out of you if you don’t know me personally (and likely if you do, but you’ll feel forced to trudge through out of fear I might present you with a…

  • A Big Win

    Several weeks ago Richard, you know Richard – remember that time you and Richard…? Of course you do.  Anyway, Richard contacted the gang, you know the gang (do we have to do this again?) and presented us with a 1 minute film contest.  The contest, put on by Project ED, was to pick a scary…

  • Because

    Because my parents were divorced… My Mother moved us to Austin when I was in 2nd grade. And because she moved us to Austin when I was in second grade, A little boy named Ernie was paired up with me on my first day of school.  His assignment was to make sure I got around…

  • Just an Ordinary Day

    Our garage is like almost any garage – kind of ordinary in its rectangular-ness mixed with a hint of boring.  It’s a space where only cars and items that aren’t quite loved enough to hangout inside live.  The occasional yard tool loiters aimlessly against the wall. Every day I come home, open the door and…

  • Dunes

    You’ve seen the Twilight saga (it’s ok, this s safe place and any snickering on my part will subside soon enough) and now I present to you “Dunes” – a parody of the beloved movie franchise written as part of The Institution Theater’s Sketch 201 class featuring the most underused supernatural love interest.  I do…

  • Golly Gee Whiz

    I can swear.  It’s not nice or pretty or necessarily called for, but in the heat of the moment I can drop a truck load of locked up bile that would rouse disappointed looks from a long line of long dead ancestors followed by a heated debate on exactly whose side of the family was…

  • 2012 In Review

    Here we are at the end of 2012 and what a great year it has been.  While I don’t have a Top 10, I thought I’d run through some of the personal highlights that made this year so great.  Now I fully accept that I may be the only person interested in this, but by…

  • Dunes: The Teaser

    The awesome Director of Photography for my sketch Dunes (which we film next Saturday) emailed me this clip today.  Thank you, Richard! You made my day! Dunes Teaser from Richard Bingham on Vimeo.

  • Dunes

    I’ve waited over a month, but I’m so excited I couldn’t wait any longer to announce (and update family and such): In two short weeks we’ll be shooting my second sketch titled Dunes.  I’ve got a knock-out cast and the best crew that a director, offering free food and snacks,  could ask for.  Let’s hear…
