Jesus, We're Old

I'm working on a toast to my best friend Karen and reminiscing like mad over the last twenty-two years we've known each other. Has it been that long? Jesus we're old.

Goodbye, Dobie Theater

I saw Hands on a Hard Body, The Blair Witch Project, my first short film The Bathroom, my students first short films and so many more movies on your screens. But most importantly, Mark and I walked down the Egyptian Theater aisle to Sunrise and became man and wife. I will miss you Dobie Theater! So long.

Tim League, You're Awesome

This makes me super excited for Fantastic Fest. Right around the corner!

My Teen Angst Stamp

Two weeks before classes start up again at UT. So I've been using my free time wisely cranking out the first draft of Nikki is a Punk Rocker. I'm reliving my adolescence, being in a band, pretending to be a rock star in front of a mirror with my hair brush. All that. I still have a ways to go with the script. It's only a first draft. And like Andrew Stanton says, "Your first draft is shit. And then each draft gets better and better." Hopefully I'm not writing total shit. But regardless I'm having fun.

This is something I would and possibly could make myself if I found the right budget. It's funny because I write a ton of scripts. And some of them I know I'll never be able to make myself. And some of them I don't want to make myself. But this one. I do. It's got my teen angst stamp all over it.

Walter Lehman - 2004

I used to look at short films as "lessons". This short film was my lesson in realism. Trying to make the characters and dialogue feel as real as possible. What I would do in hindsight.-- make it a lot shorter. And tweak the story a little. But even still, I'm proud of what we did. I came up with the story and then brought in Jerry and Scott (my actors and friends) to develop the script through improv.
