Retirement is a joy for most. It’s something the common person looks forward to, plans for and usually loves every minute of.  Imagine doing nothing all day long. Absolutely nothing. What could possibly be dull about that?...

Far more than anything in the act of filmmaking I appreciate honesty the most.  Most Hollywood features these days sell themselves on a lie or they greedily want to steal your money with flashy effects or easy sequels and...
