Whether I was building Oprah’s Harpo Studios or a $162 million skyscraper or convincing investors to fund my PBS show that aired prime time before the 2000 presidential debates, sales skills played a key role.

Read more "Success Secret: Market Only What You Love"Forget Facebook’s bad service. YouTube is worse! For over 6 years I’ve periodically tried to get YouTube to restore my access to my lost hit YouTube channel KidsTalkPolitics. It’s a channel I only actively use to promote my TV show by the same name. So I go between 4 year election cycles not using the […]
Read more "YouTube Needs to Rediscover Customer Service Motto: The Customer is Always Right"I’ve been complaining for over a year about a lack of good customer service at social media giant Facebook and been saying on FB that it’s broken on numerous posts.

Read more "Zuckerberg in the Hot Seat"Wow. I don’t often start a movie review off with wow. Well, I never do. But that’s my review of “David Gilmour – Live at Pompeii” in a nutshell.

Read more "POMPEII WITH LASERS AND GILMOUR"After struggling in Hollywood 6 years and finally hitting the wall in 2009, I decided it was time to face a fact: No one was going to make any of my screenplays or documentaries but me.

Read more "Our 8th Anniversary: Looking Back on the Home run Launch of BuzzBroz That Got Away and One We Eventually Hit Out of the Park"When I finally finished the editing on THE COOLEST MEDITATION EVER: ANTARCTICA 12.12.12 in late 2016 I thought the movie, Running Time 64 minutes, was going to only look good on the internet. But when we sold out the Sedona Film Festival’s Mary Fisher theater with 20 people turned away at the door, and the […]
Read more "Southwest Tour With THE COOLEST MEDITATION EVER: ANTARCTICA 12.12.12"I managed to catch the second Sedona Film Festival screening of SATURN RETURNS. A solid script makes for believable dialogue. However, I found the actors delivering the lines less believable. Perhaps it was the lack of dramatic tension when – spoiler alert – the groom dumps the bride at the altar but nothing really happens […]
Read more "SATURN KINDA RETURNS"As Sonic Sea opened a giant whale’s eye rolled toward me filling the screen. The visceral sense of its loving soul brought gasps throughout the crowd.

Read more "Sonic Sea Film Review"Remember the 2006 Gore film AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH making audiences aware of global warming, now more politically correct referred to as global climate change?

Read more "THE AGE OF CONSEQUENCES"George Lucas once said sound is 50% of the movie going experience. The new documentary from Matt Schrader SCORE proves that theory and then some, exploring film scoring as an art form. It’s a high to watch and listen to. The edits are amazing.
