Someone asked me today why I left LA, conveniently as we were leaving Flashpoint Academy, a new state-of-the-art, sci-fi fantasy come true 2-year college that teaches film, recording art, animation and gaming…and after walking through this unrealistic world of digital whiteboards and a plethora of AVID rooms (!), I was brought back to my film […]
So I’ve been busy…so busy I haven’t been able to write/blog/breathe for the last 2 months (has it only been 2 months?!)
