When we shot the trailer for Caitlin R. Kiernan’s novel “The Drowning Girl,” we accumulated about two and a half hours’ worth of footage. A lot of it looked gorgeous. There were a few moments when we caught some of the activity behind the scenes– not very much if that,… Continue reading
Let’s get one thing settled: I am not a conservative nor a Republican. Many of the opinions presented in the following videos do not reflect my own. I volunteered for this project mainly because it seemed like a good, provocative idea– to offset the generally liberal-left theater community with plays… Continue reading
In 2010, the first Steampunk World’s Fair was being organized. My friend Emily Tullis, with whom I’d worked on the Philcon program books, persuaded the organizers to let us design a program schedule for the event. The organizers hadn’t put much thought it, and said they’d figured we’d lay out… Continue reading
The Philcon 2009 Program Book and Pocket Program were high points for me. I really enjoyed doing them, and I like to think that I set a high point for such things. But I have to say up front that, to explain my enthusiasm, I have so say some unflattering… Continue reading

I thought about the book’s opening line, and it… Continue reading
This project was the labor of love for photographer Kyle Cassidy and fantasy writer Caitlín R. Kiernan. Kyle had read her upcoming novel The Drowning Girl in galleys, and it inspired him to develop “scenes from a movie that was never made.” He and Caitlín lined up performers, contributions from… Continue reading
So what went into this? Last month, I did one for Eurydice that didn’t really work: I thought it’d be fun to make it look like a trailer for an old film noir, so I shot it at 24 frames a second for that “film look” and converted it to black… Continue reading
