Well. Well. Well. What do you know! Before I share a story with you about a fashion/beauty editor at the big newspaper in St. Louis, I’d like to share a small victory that I had at a film festival. At the film festival my assistant Jason was in a taxi going home and the driver [...]

I won’t forget last Thursday anytime soon. I flew to Minneapolis to screen “America the Beautiful,” for an awesome eating disorders treatment facility called “The Emily Program.” About three weeks before the June 19th screening, one of their employees called me and informed me that they wanted to add a 9:30pm show in addition to [...]

I’d like to bring something to your attention. “America the Beautiful,” isn’t supposed to exist. At least not in the form where you’d ever actually see it. I’ve had to fight all the conventional wisdom of Hollywood. This is how it’s supposed to go – 1. You make an independent film. 2. When you’re done, [...]

I’ve always wondered what it felt like to be on the receiving end of a Mike Tyson knockout punch. I finally got a chance to feel that feeling this past weekend. Our 3 week winning streak at the Landmark was ended by the mezmerizing opening weekend of “Sex and the City.” Our primary demo is [...]

Good News! I was on the Channel 7 News with Sylvia Perez last week talking about “America the Beautiful,” and today they did a segment that covered one of the main topics in my film – dangerous ingredients in cosmetics. I’ve heard that the cosmetics industry is waiting for me to come to NY and [...]

Opening Weekend: Top Grossing Film at Landmark Century Centre Cinema! #7 * in the country! *(out of 134 films, on a per screen average) First of all, I want to say thank you Chicago. You really came through this weekend. It’s been a fun week. First was the Chicago Premiere last Tuesday, (pictures to the [...]

“America the Beautiful,” was supposed to be released in Chicago on May 9th, but the Landmark Theater chain asked the distributor to push the date back 2 weeks so they can help us promote it. So the new date is Friday May 9th. I need all of you to help spread the word. Email everyone [...]
