I’m happy to announce that Red Letters will be screening in the International Festival of Cinema and Technology’s Psychological Drama Shorts program on December 7th, 2007 at 9pm-10:30pm in Jacksonville FL.
The roster of films for this program look fantastic and I’m honored that Red Letters was chosen to be a part of it.

just launched the new website for the Antioch College Alumni Association.
spent four years of my life there as an undergrad, met the greatest person ever there (stayed with/still with, and married her over a decade later) and it definitely was one of the most influential places that had the strongest impact on the person i am today.
there are enormous things going on right now with Antioch College (too many to list here) and a revolution may soon begin. one way or another, we’re going to take the College back from the greed that aims to close it.
i’m very proud to have been a part of creating this website. check it out.

on another site that i’m helping to develop, i’ve integrated Carnegie Mellon University’s incredible reCaptcha script into PunBB (the forum software running on that site).
reCAPTCHA channels the effort spent solving CAPTCHAs online into correcting OCR mistakes for scanned books.
because the current release of PunBB is not plugin friendly, integrating reCaptcha isn’t a one step process, but with barely any effort it’s completely doable.
PunBB 1.2.15 was used.
Here’s how to do it:
finally got around to submitting the trailer to the Independent Film Channel’s online Medialab. it seems like a really fantastic resource for independent filmmakers and hopefully i’ll be putting up some more content there soon.

thanks.
slowly/steadily adding media clips to the main site.
right now there’s a short montage and the trailer for red letters, but there’s much, much more i’ll be uploading in the near future so stay tuned.
the biggest hurdle is breaking down a previously cut reel from dvd— with its own flow and style for that format—into more digestible web-ready units. it’s refreshing to be going back over these films again but also very time consuming.

ps. codewise, i’m displaying the content with a lightbox style effect via javascript, and while all of the code and everything i’m doing is standards complient, i’ve yet to test it on a windows machine.
so… if someone on a windows machine could let me know if you’re experiecing any quirks loading or watching the video, i’d much appreciate it. quicktime 7+ and javascript enabled are required. the content should load in an overlay of the page and not open up a new window or take you away from the current page.
just finished launching a new website for my second home: RONIN ATHLETICS—an incredible mixed martial arts gym in nyc. some design specs can be found on the design page.
