I hear 'em crying, "You gon' sell out!" Ya damn right. I done sold out before and re-caught the same night. Straight hopped the next flight, too Icey for sunlight. Dunkin' without Sprite, yeah you heard me dirty! I'm from the Show-Me State, show me seven I'll show you eight. Karats in one Ring, heavily starched jeans, representin' St. Louis everytime I breathe. Every city I touch down and I bob and weave, ay. -Cornell "Nelly" Haynes, Jr.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I admit I have steered away from independent film making and took a position working with the Washington Redskins as a TV Producer for the Redskins Broadcast Network. We have a daily feed of videos here and I will keep you up to date once my own TV show Inside the Redskins starts airing in the Washington D.C. area. Life here is sweet, I love DC, I love the NFL and I am doing more editing/producing than I could have ever imagined a year out of college. No more internships for this guy (hopefully). And it is not that I have said goodbye to film - but this position was far too lucrative to turn away. I will still do my best to frequent the cinema (Up was a recent love of mine and Land of the Lost was nothing special). However, you most likely noticed that I had slowed down well below a snail's pace with my reviews anyhow so I am most likely writing this post to myself. I am feeling a void in my life that I believe revolves around my lack of writing. And I do live a 5 minute walk from a movie theatre and I am seeing more movies than ever so expect the reviews to continue. Believe it or not though, I do have the last film I will most likely make in my Boston University career and I would like to share it with you.
Slowpoke is a film shot entirely in High Definition using a shnazzy new Panasonic P2 Card reading mammoth camera. The film was conceptualized by a new good friend of mine Joe LaRocca who is seriously passionate about film making and from watching him first hand, I can tell he will be a great director for this world. For once I was not the editor on this masterpiece but I did get to get my hands dirty as the Director of Photography. Working with the HD camera for a short fiction film was a great time and the final product is a pretty high quality masterpiece of sorts. See if you can decipher the riddle of Joe LaRocca's Slowpoke.
