I love Halloween. It's probably been one of my favourite holidays since I can remember. I enjoy dressing up, going to haunted houses, sitting around fires roasting s'mores and listening to scary stories. I will preface all this by mentioning I haven't ever quite made it through actually watching 31 scary movies during October, and I can be a bit of a scaredy-cat, depending what the movie is about. I do enjoy psychological thrillers most of all, but I'm taking suggestions and trying to broaden my scare range. My goal is to watch at least 1 scary/halloween/fun/spooky themed movie each night this month, but on…

*taps mic* I'm no good at this whole blues thing. Sorry. I often listen to metal. If I could, I'd try to sing the blues to see if I felt any better. I'm sad. Instead... let me write some thoughts out here where you too might feel a little comfort, and I will offer some ways to keep yourself sane/busy. We will get through this. It sucks, make no mistake. Firstly, you are not alone. Don't sit there and constantly read every update minute by minute. Or feel like a failure. Or horrible too. It won't help anyway,…

How many times have you or someone else asked how important Twitter is in regards to our field? I can answer for you: quite a lot. Or rather, you'll get out of Twitter what you put in. Even if you only lurk, you may discover some cool follows or perhaps have a bit of conversation - so you can't really lose anything by using it. This is true especially if you put yourself out there, network, attend #postchat, and get to know our fellow film cohorts. Early last year, I got a lucky and well timed opportunity to fly out to Winston Salem, North Carolina…

I did this sort of recap last year and found myself checking back on it a few times this year, to remind myself where I've gotten off to in case it becomes a muddled mess of a memory in a year's time. So without further adieu, here's 2013 through my eyes. 2014 is almost upon us all! That makes it sound scary... or a bit like GoT "Winter's coming!" right? It's not nearly that dreadful though... not nearly so bad at all. Aren't you a bit glad you can't forsee the future? There's something renewing about a new year, a story untold. It can wipe…

Recently, I was asked to be a guest on @kanendosei's podcast, That Post Show. I had an awesome time chatting with him, hopefully will do it again somewhere in the future! Yet another good way to get to know me, learn a little about what I'm working on, and listen to an entertaining discussion with your coffee. Enjoy That Post Show podcast by Scruffy TV in two ways: either via the website or  iTunes. You can also directly download it. make sure to hop over to iTunes, rate, feel free to leave a comment, or follow any of us on twitter to share your thoughts. Look…

Collection of photos  Please feel free to visit/share this album. I set up a little IMGUR gallery for those who missed some of the pics I already posted and included some others not posted to Twitter. I will preface this by again thanking MEWShop & Postchat so very much for giving me this opportunity! Although my time @ Editfest in NY was cut short unexpectedly, I just wanted to say what a wonderful time there is to be had in NY, no matter how long or short you stay. I had quite a mind-blowing…

The time has come, the Walrus said...oh wait, that's not what this is about! To answer your question - my tattoo work is being done by an awesome guy over at Metamorphosis located in Broad Ripple (Indy of course) named Jeff Foti. Find him on Twitter or see his Metamorphosis bio/portfolio. He's not only amazing at what he does, but has been real easy/fun to chat with during the course of many few hours long sessions, great at adapting on the fly to adjust colour tones, and does a damn fine job of making it the least painful as possible haha. Really been a pleasure and…

FRAME OF REFERENCE: INTERVIEW W/EDITOR Katie Toomey I was recently interviewed by a fellow post/editor on Twitter, asking lots of interesting and fun questions about everything related to post and how I got started as an editor. It's been a long and personal journey for me getting started. Read my thoughts about organization, how to overcome tough edits, problem clients, how to deal with the director/editor relationship, tips/tricks, and more! I'm very honored and thrilled to have gotten a chance to write down my thoughts and contribute to an amazing group of editor interviews. Love the clever title, frame of reference :) +1 to that!…
