New Eggshelland Trailer:

Eggshelland is a documentary about a wonderfully odd family in Ohio who come together every year to produce an amazing display of hand-painted eggshells.  Christopher Noice followed the family for a year to make this fabulous story, and I composed the score for it. 


This is the second trailer Chris has released for the movie, and it includes a much wider selection of music pieces I created for the film.  It does a great job of capturing the overall awesomeness of the movie.


Eggshelland has been submitted to a number of festivals.  When word of showings arrive, I’ll announce them here.

Inspector Hieronymus and the Case of the Mischievous Houseboy is the newest short film produced by HomoMech Pictures, the production company name my husband and I work under.  The movie introduces audiences to Nathaniel Hieronymus, a hard-boiled detective who is the person you come to if your problems are a little out of the ordinary.  Your new apartment haunted?  Call the Inspector.  Your gallery full of fabulous gay art been replaced mysteriously by images of one man?  Call the Inspector....


We’ve had some great response to the character, and folks wanting to see more, so we’re working on a second adventure for the good Inspector.  We’ll be blogging about its progress on our production site (www.homomech.com), and I’ll also be posting on my own blog (the link is on the left of this page).  Please subscribe to our blogs and comment!  Let us know what you think about the short, the direction we’re taking the character in, the props you’ll be seeing under construction and more.


You can watch the short in the window above, or go to YouTube to see it in High Definition, or watch it on DoorQ to join in on the comments people post there.

NightFall available on Vimeo

I created NightFall shortly after getting a Canon HV30 high-definition camcorder to test its capacities in low light, to get familiar with the camera’s operation, and to test how well my Mac would handle editing high-definition video.  I posted the results on Vimeo, a very nice hosting service.  If you click through to Vimeo, you can watch this in high-definition, and even download a copy for your use.   The movie is released under creative commons, so you can use the footage and music in your own non-commercial productions..
