Domestique Nearing… Something
The Domestique short has finally reached the stage where the latest cut I got from the editor left me with the feeling I hadn’t wasted $5K. Almost to the point I wouldn’t be embarrassed to actually put it to its …

Editing is Done!
Wow, what a long strange trip this has been. Treasure Hunt is finito, insofar as I have no intention to make any other changes, unless it’s a technical thing. John, the writer/director who helped me with the sound, pointed out …
