The structure of the book, it flows very well to the point where it's hard to put down. I wasn't expecting him to go off and talk for pages about certain people, such as Harry Belfonte, Gorgeous George, and even unknowns like Sun Pie (he's well known in New Orleans). I knew that Dylan was and still is famous but to read him detail the crazy things him and his family endured in his early famous years was new to me. I've watched documentaries about him (directed by Martin Scorsese) that are incredible, however to read Dylan's descritptions about the places and old legendary stomping grounds in New York he journeyed through (which I have myself) is a delight! </p><p>I highly recommend this book and I hope he releases volume two some time soon. </p><p><br /></p>K.D.B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01389946049468187474noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833600503651427643.post-5546900953109710702021-04-28T14:53:00.004-07:002021-04-28T14:53:55.199-07:00Article: 'The Water Image' <p> <i>'The Water Image'</i>, one of the latest short movies I co-directed, which recently won best short film at the Mokkho Film Festival 2021 is online and has been written about in the following article. </p><p>https://starsgazette.com/news/the-water-image-winner-of-the-best-short-film-at-the-mokkho-film-festival-2021/0296114?fbclid=IwAR3QjrS_ITrMxFzJqcXLR6Mo8DweX-xeIa24GBAS3vkzK0utZUuOLotXTAE</p><p>If you haven't seen the movie yet, here's the link below.</p><p>Feel free to share and comment about the movie.

We filmed it late 2019. Marina Bondik is the lead actress. This is the first time we worked together. It was fun filming. Post-production took awhile because of the pandemic but it was complete remotely. Enjoy, comment and share.

I had already seen <i>'Wild at Heart'</i> and <i>'The Straight Story' </i>as a teenager; both movies I enjoyed. </p><p>I have a background in experimental storytelling so his work intrigues me. </p><p>Now that I'm older and I can see many of his short movies because they're on the internet, it was a thrill going into this man's world and see various subjects he touches on throughout his dynamic career. </p><p>I had known about<i> 'Room to Dream'</i> for awhile and I at first wasn't that fascinated to read it but when I began to go on that binge that all changed and I've read many articles and seen documentaries about Lynch. He is a funny, inspiring, engaging man. And when I went on the Twin Peaks trip - watched all three seasons back-to-back- I saw what an incredible television storyteller he was (along with Mark Frost). </p><p>'Room to Dream' is unique because it's a told through the eyes of David and through the eyes of those that know him and worked with him. His part in the book is a reaction to what is said previously by cast, crew, and friends alike. I had already known some things about him before reading because of interviews I watched of him, documentaries ('<i>lynch</i>', '<i>the art life</i>') , and articles. This didn't diminish the experience reading the book. His relationship is Dino, Mark Frost, Kyle and Laura Dern is explored. To hear from these people and a lot more is fascinating because it gives the reader a sense of how Lynch is as a creative being which is telling about him as a man- because from what I've seen- both are the same. I found some similarities in Lynch and myself (besides him having my first name as his middle name), which isn't worth going into right now. But him as a creative being, I can obviously relate to and the amount of concentration, determination he has is something I know about. </p><p>If you're not into his artwork the book might be boring to you, plus it's a thick book (over 400 pages) so if you're not really into his work, his process, then find a different book. And what I love about the book it doesn't give away spoilers about any of his projects which aligns up with the way David Lynch operates. His movies can be challenging and to many confusing, but he'll never tell you what it means because he wants the audience to come up with their own answers. </p><p><i>'Room to Dream'</i>- fun, fascinating, detailed, funny, well written. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>K.D.B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01389946049468187474noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833600503651427643.post-79448746024913699882021-02-17T10:48:00.000-08:002021-02-17T10:48:06.205-08:00Short Stories/Last Year's Overview <p> Hi Everyone!</p><p>It's been awhile.

One of my recent goals was to have my short stories posted online and here they are! I'm apart of a writer's blog and it's been challenging and fun. Below is the link to some of my latest short stories that I've written. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
Feel free to comment here on my blog of what you think of the stories. Thank you for the support :)<br />

I ask myself what are my favorite movies of all time and immediately certain movies come to mind which are these below:<br />
<br />
Top <b>5 </b>favorite movies of all time:<br />
<br />
1. Rocky<br />
2. The Passion of the Christ<br />
3. 12 Years a Slave<br />
4. City Lights<br />
5. Lawerence of Arabia<br />
<br />
By the end of the year maybe this list will change since I've been watching many films this year.<br />
But these films I've listed have stood the test of time and when I watch them I always leave feeling like I've grown inches in my imagination, they teach me about craftsmanship, story structure, tone, how to use music, and the performances in each of these films are amazing!<br />
<br />
I hope you've enjoyed the lists that I've been posting, there might be more in the near future.<br />
<br />
Have a safe and blessed day everyone!<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Film Directors</b><br />
<br />
1. Terrence Malick<br />
2. Martin Scorsese<br />
3. Orson Welles<br />
4. Steve McQueen<br />
5. Michael Mann<br />
<br />
Their visions can be unique, they tell challenging stories, and they always inspire me to be a more bold storyteller.<br />

Developing scripts and stage plays for the near future. Even in quarantine I can't waste time, what will we, the storytellers, have when it's time to present to the audience- who eagerly wait to see something new and fresh and fun and informing. After all is said and done adapting to a new world will be before us. Until then creativity goes on and on... :)<br />

Be safe and healthy everyone!<br />
