Hey ya’ll. As promised, here’s the full-length “Rionegro” for those of you who haven’t had the chance to see it. Basically, we wanted to take a common story, an urban legend, and kind of warp it and make it subjective, nonlinear, and personal. At under eight minutes, it’s a small time investment for a film you might find yourself liking quite a bit. So check it out and spread it around if ya get the chance, friends. Back with updates next week! We’ll be shooting the South Beach Comedy Festival... Read the Rest →
Hey all, Slow news week. We’re gearing up to shoot some more shorts, and Manifest Destiny is still going through sound. This is a trailer for a film we did last year. It was a winner in the Canes Film Festival and screened in the Paramount Theater in LA with John Landau and Ray Liotta in the audience. We’re going to post the whole thing up here next week. Don’t worry, it’s pretty short. Till then, enjoy the trailer! I’ll be back with updates next week. -Tim... Read the Rest →
Hey guys, Fun little post today- I’ve been trying to up my movie-watching since the New Year (with great success so far) so I’m going to share some thoughts on two recent-ish ones. But- only after I give another update on our long-brewing project “Manifest Destiny.” “Manifest Destiny” Update So- we’ve finally got this guy picture- locked, color corrected, and effects are pretty much in. We’re moving to the audio phase- Pablo Manavello has already come up with some beautiful themes for the film and I’m very excited to get... Read the Rest →
Hey guys. So, film reviews are a big part of what I do on this blog. I’m going to try to keep an even balance of pretty-good movies that you guys have probably heard of in theaters, and little independent movies that you should be Netflixing right now, should you have both the interest and the capacity. The mere, unpretentious truth about the best films is that many times, you’ve never heard of them- so this is my way of reaching out and letting you know about movies that you... Read the Rest →
Hey all, Hope you had a wonderful holidays and all that. We’re back in business for 2012, and very excited about it to boot. Enough about us for now, though- I’ll have an update on that stuff next week. Needless to say “Manifest Destiny” is nearly picture-locked and ready to head to sound, after many months. Huzzah! For now- “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” Review Two caveats: 1. I have not read the wildly popular thriller novel that this film is based on, so I am coming from a fresh... Read the Rest →
Hey all! Hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season, celebrating whatever holiday your family history/faith/culture dictates that you celebrate. Good news- we have successfully raised our funding for the Manifest Destiny pickup shoot that is happening next Monday, Jan 2. We couldn’t have done it without the loving support of our family, friends, and the community of arts-supporters here in Miami Dade and elsewhere. We’re excited that you guys believe in us and we want to return your enthusiasm with a great film- so stay tuned! We should be... Read the Rest →
Hey everyone, Hope all is well. I’ve got an update on our short film, “Manifest Destiny.” Thanks again for your support for “Manifest Destiny.” If you’ve been reading the blog posts I’ve made up here, you know that we are waiting on completing re-shoots in order to finish the project. While we had hoped to latch up with another film that was using the same camera on one of their days off, this has not worked out as we expected. We have no other choice but to fund another day...

Hey guys, Hope all is going well. Not much going on this week except for the usual moviemaking business. Our short film, “Haircut”, played at the Miami Short Film Festival over the weekend. It’s being shipped to a few festivals right now so I can’t release the whole thing, but if you haven’t seen it, here’s a trailer I cut together: We’ll be able to release the whole thing eventually, once we hear back. Enjoy! I’ll be back next week with some updates and a bunch of other goodies. -Tim... Read the Rest →
Hey all, Hope all is going well. A lot of you already know about this, but I feel the need to plug it here anyway. A close friend of ours (and Ricardo’s girlfriend), Nina Cortes, designs beautiful jewelry down here in Miami. She applied to be on “Project Accessory” on Lifetime, which is a spin-off of Project Runway- and, against staggering odds, was accepted as a contestant on the show. One of twelve, and thousands must have applied. Anyway, the show premiered last Thursday- and not only is she on... Read the Rest →
Good day, fine people. If you’re a local in Miami, I’m sure you’re like the rest of us trying to get away from this God-awful perma-rain. So what better to do than read my blog? Nothing. “Breaking Bad” Season 3 Review I’m going to try hard here and do something pretty difficult- I know a lot of you haven’t seen the whole season yet, so I’m going to give you my recommendation and say what I like about it without giving away any plot details, nor any plot details of...
