Took me long enough, but the Romeo and Juliet project is completed. I’ll be spending the next few weeks getting them out the door for the Kickstarter supporters. I’m not sure if or how I’ll be getting copies to people who weren’t part of the Kickstarter project, but I have lots… Continue reading
This past March and April, I shot another play at Curio Theatre. The play was Madville, by Paul Kuhn, and I wanted to do something really decent for the play because Paul is one of the most decent guys I know. Continue reading

Here is Curio Theater’s 2010 production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. At this point, the only thing I had to work with was a Sony TRV700, a standard-def video camera. I’d gotten good results out of it for my little personal video Clark Park, June 2007, and I guess that impressed Kyle Cassidy… Continue reading
