We Don’t Need More Movie Screens

Yesterday Chris Anderson over at his Long Tail blog posted some research done by Kalevi Kilkki, Principal Scientist at Nokia Siemens Networks. I don’t really follow the math, but somehow he’s worked out that if there were a lot more movie theaters in the US and an efficient distribution network that didn’t require physically shipping […]

This Web Stuff Starts to Pay Off

I earn most of my income helping other people make movies. It pays well and most of the time it’s exciting. But like most people, I want to have some control over what I do every day. So I’ve started a number of web-based ventures. I put all my movies online, I sell Obey Saget […]

Fay Grim Pirated!

In somewhat exciting news, Fay Grim is available for illegal download from the usual places that people get those sorts of things. I’m not going to link to any sites because I don’t want to encourage any more people to take money out of the producers’ pockets, but I am happy to see that there […]

First Impressions on Netflix Instant Watching

When I logged into Netflix today I saw a “Watch Now” tab that got me excited. I had heard about their plans to stream movies over the Internet, and I knew that they would have The Girl From Monday available as part of the service. So I decided to check it out while running Firefox […]

The Pizzamen

When I was in high school, my friend Taj Musco made a movie called The Pizzaman. He asked me to play a series of pizza delivery boys who are brutally murdered by a pizzacutter-wielding psycho. We first met at the Mount Wachusett Community College Summer Drama Camp when we were 8 years old, so he […]

Fay Grim Trailer on Apple!

The official Fay Grim trailer is now available on Apple Trailers. It’s a lot like the one I made for festival promotion, but it’s more professional and fancy. My festival trailer will be included on the DVD, which I’m really happy about. It’s one of my favorite pieces of editing. The DVD includes a 17 […]

Me in the News

Digital Content Producer wrote an article about HD movies at Sundance last month and I just stumbled across it online while actually searching for the other Kyle Gilman who plays baseball and enjoys “Second Life.” The author interviewed me via email and I had a lot to say about HD. Much of it shows up […]

24p Headaches

I got an email from my old friend Mr. Taj Musco last week. I made my first real movie “Is This the Pizzaman?” with Taj after my freshman year of college. It was shot on S-VHS and edited tape-to-tape at our local cable access facility. Taj was having trouble with some footage he shot in […]

In Which Our Author Enters a New World

Today I finally took the plunge into HD TV. I’ve edited two HD movies, one was shot at 1080p24 and edited offline in SD DV, and currently I’m working on a project that was shot on the HVX-200 at 720p24 which I’m actually editing in HD (With absolutely no trouble! Thanks Hackintosh!) I’ve had progressive-scan […]
