Here is a short list of my other websites and blogs. These are chock full of video, films and interesting stories.

Finish Line is a documentary web series that asks people from all walks of life three questions. 1- What happens when you die? 2 – How does that affect how you live your life? 3 – Have you ever lost a loved one?

Ringling Clown is a blog that features video, sound, photos and stories from my two years as a Ringling Bros. Clown, 1983-1984.

BeeryMedia.com is my business web site. Full of video samples of my corporate, non-profit, film and commercial work.

12 The Film There’s a thin line between love and hate. 12 is a short film about family. This family has a problem, and in the next twelve hours things will change irreversibly. Anything can happen between Midnight and Noon.

BeeryBlog This is my general interest blog that features updates and comments on things my company and I are doing.

Finish line web series Episode 6.

Wonderful episode featuring two schools of thought about death.

Only three more days left to submit your short films to The CarrboroFilm Festival. Film Festival Submission forms are available at www.CarrboroFilmFestival.com

Finish line web series Episode 5 shocks many.

Howdy. I once again find myself under 150 year old maple tree on the lawn Of Weaver Street Market. The music of John and Bill playing rootsy blues this morning has an invigorating and inspiring effect.
It's been another creative and productive week. First up is the fact that we posted another episode of "Finish Line", our web series that asks folks from all walks of life "what happens when you die?". It is a lively series about death. This weeks episode is above and features a super sweet dog named Tasha. Tasha died just after the filming of this interview with her and her master, Lisa. She has an unknown tumor. She had absolutely no symptoms until hours before her passing. Very sad, but also fateful that we were fortunate to spend time with her and Lisa before she died.
The episode also features the wonderfully droll Ryan, who has no intention in saving for retirement, since every male in his family lineage has died before they turned 65.
Great episode. Top watch more, visit our site at http://finishlineseries.wordpress.com/

In other news, The Carrboro Film Festival is still receiving short film submissions. It is great to watch and judge all the films that have been coming in. Some of them are jaw droppingly great. All of them are thought provoking in their concept, humor, idea or execution. I love indie films and these are about as indie as they get. If you want to submit, visit us at www.carrborofilmfestival.com We'd love to see what you got. There is no "completed by" rule, the film could have been made yesterday or 100 years ago.

Have a great week!

Carrboro Film Festival is looking for your shorts

Visit www.carrborofilmfestival.com to submit your short films. If you or a member of your cast or crew have never breathed the good, clean air of Orange County, NC, then you can not submit. BUT! you can submit shorts and features to www.BlueSkyFilmFest.com , which is an international film festival in Chapel Hill, NC.

Looking forward to seeing your masterpieces. Both of these film festival submissions are for fests in NC, one in the fall, one in the late winter. Submit today, hooray.

In other news, here is the latest non-profit video BeeryMedia.com produced. I am very proud of this short video and happy to be helping them raise the finds needed to get the job done. The Partnership for Children is in Johnston County, NC.

So it begins

August 15th, 2010
We just sent out our new short, 12, to about a dozen festivals. Exciting and scary. We will probably do more work on the film before it is really finished, but deadlines were looming for some fests that it would be exciting to see "12" in.

I am hoping to have a special sneak peek/cast & crew event in the near future in NC. Still working out those details. Then I will make "12" available for 12 hours online for those interested in seeing it and can't make the sneak peek party. I expect it all to be happening in October, when the weather has cooled and the festival season has begun.

If you would like to stay up with our new short, the website is www.12thefilm.wordpress.com

In other news, submissions are now open for The Blue Sky Film Festival. This new fest will be Feb. 4-6, 2011 in Chapel Hill, NC. We are lookinf for independent, edgy and incredible films from the four corners of the globe. Shorts, features, narratives and documentaries are all welcome. For a film festival submission form, go to our site, www.BlueSkyFilmFest.com The festival is going to be a nice compliment to the cool Carrboro Film Festival, which focuses on homegrown talent and short films. They are accepting films right now also, go to www.CarrboroFilmFestival.com to learn more.

As if that isn't enough, our web series, Finish Line, is gaining momentum. We post a new episode every two weeks. This series poses the question, "What happens when you die?" This may sound like a downer subject, but it really is uplifting, the interviewees are very candid in their answers and they share opinions and thoughts from all angles and beliefs.

I recently was able to get an interview with Tim LaFollett thanks to my friends Blake Faucet and Andy Coon and Tim himself. Tim has ALS and is the subject of Blake and Andy's incredible web series "Often Awesome". I highly recommend the series, it is moving, powerful and rewarding. http://www.allacesmedia.com/oftenawesome/ I expect to have Tim's episode of Finish Line up in a month or so.

It is an honor to work on Finish Line and be the facilitator of these interviews. Go here to watch and think a bit about what will happen to all of us when we cross the big finish line of life. http://finishlineseries.wordpress.com/

Well I guess that's about it for this Sunday morning note. As I sit outside listening to live music on the Weaver Street lawn, i have breast feeding Moms to my right, footlose Bruce dancing to my left. Carrboro is a lovely place to live.
