FUN PROJECTS
Done while at USC with co-editor Chuck Michael, "The Empire Strikes Quack" takes the soundtrack of the classic "Duck Dodgers in the 24th1/2 Century and sets it to visuals from the first three Star Wars films... It has become somewhat of a lost classic.
Visit here and listen to my commentaries on a bunch of films that influenced me... From Wizard of Oz to Star Wars and beyond, these are my favorite (and not quite so much a favorite) films. Get a pro/fan perspective!
A few years ago, I got to direct my own Original Star Trek episode... here it is! Warts and all!
In my younger days, I dared bigger. Here are the remnants of those times... when I took Captain Kirk speeches and treated them as high poetry.
