Gone Fishing

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Enjoy the long weekend. Summer is ending and school is beginning. A new season waits. I look forward to relaxing with my family this long weekend.

I am also working diligently on the manuscript of my book. I am working on the new film I am helping to produce and I am getting excited about the Mystics late season push to the playoffs.

I feel great. Enjoy being with your loved ones. No blog posts from me until Tuesday.

Upbeat

Won’t it be great to see a healthy and strong Chris Clark back on the ice?

I have faith in Chris. He is our Captain and he may be our biggest off season acquisition. He is tough; gritty; does the dirty work; can skate; has a great shot; bangs and digs in the corners; and goes to the net.

Thanks for this article that made me smile today. Click here to read it and Go Caps!

A Good Read

Here is a great industry overview story on free streaming of movies - click here - and the future of indie films. Will paid content be the future or free streaming or a mixture of both? Time will tell. It is a great feeling to see SnagFilms positioned so well though in these conversations.

Here is a nice list of top 10 films that inspire that I stumbled upon on About.com. This is a very comprehensive listing of films that you can see now and it includes our film, Nanking. We are honored.

Our film is up for 3 Emmy Awards and I will attend this year’s event with the directors and producers of the film and my family. My son, Zachary, is actually up for an Emmy Award as he was one of the researchers listed on the film. How interesting is that? He could actually win an Emmy Award and he was 16 at the time he concluded the research for us. I am one proud Dad.

Fortune Cookies

Friday, September 4th, 2009

As American as apple pie, helping people make their fortunes in the lottery and helping to changes lives and relationships and more.

This is such a great documentary. It about the history of the fortune cookie; who takes credit for its invention; how many are sold each and every year; and how people read their fortunes and how it affects their lives. Amazing.

Click here to watch this informative story for free on SnagFilms.com. I love fortune cookies. I loved this film. It will be worth your time.
