Here is the third installment of the Behind the Scenes video series for my first short film "Death Do Us Part". This episode is about me, the director. It has a couple of questions I got asked during production of the film last year.
There will be more questions I answer in the future about the film and about my philosophy of filmmaking. In time I am hoping to have an 'interview series' with numerous questions I need to answer about being a filmmaker and why I am a filmmaker. These are things I need to do for myself in order to help define what kind of a filmmaker I am and to help me speak more articulately about these sometimes complicated decisions behind filmmaking- not to mention the difficult technical decisions that take place during production and afterwards. Either way, there is more coming in the next few weeks.
Enjoy and spread around!

Do My Favorite Directors Know Its The End Of The World?
...Because there are so many upcoming movies and incredible projects by some of my favorite directors that it makes me think that they are making their best and greatest films now- as though there will be no tomorrow! What can I say- I can't wait to see these films!! All of these are going to be must-watch cinema but a few of these I am most in love with. My most highly anticipated are Elysium, Skyfall, The Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, Looper, Pacific Rim, The Cabin in the Woods, Django Unchained, The Hobbit, but...
The Most Greatly Anticipated is...
PROMETHEUS.
This film, made by the director who made my favorite film "Blade Runner" is returning to what made him a great director, sci-fi. Especially the fact that directors are returning to practical effects has me so stoked! As it comes to the trailers... I think these two trailers may also be some of the best trailers ever made. I saw it on the big screen and my heart was audibly thumping. I cannot wait to see that film!
From the 'Good' to 'Best'... I'll show you some of the trailers or a link to some of the latest information on these films. I always like to leave the best for last but I got two amazing Prometheus trailers on here! So, enjoy!
The Good:
Moonrise Kingdom by Wes Anderson

The Better:

The BEST:

and the super amazing Extended 2nd trailer that I saw in the theater!
I think these trailers for Prometheus are amazing works of art... they are the best trailers I've seen in a long time! Ahhhh good times! Theres gonna be some crazy apocalyptic movie watchin for the next year or so!! Oh well, I guess if it is "the end times" all I can say is... "It's the end of the world as we know it... and I feel fine."
