Recently I had an opportunity to speak with a young film maker, Darren Thomas Martinez, about an upcoming project. He is directing and producing a documentary about homeless youths. I will have more information about this production as it progresses. However, right now I’d like to just point everyone’s attention to the fund raising effort by the non-profit Start Thinking Corporation.
Currently, Darren and his associates. Travis Marquis and DJ Russell, are trying to raise funds for the film through a raffle. Information can be found on the main page in the preceding URI.
Please visit the site and, if you feel so inclined, make a donation to help them raise awareness of a growing problem in America. This is just one of many examples of the power of film, as a medium for progressive social discourse, to inform and transform our world.

As promised, Cinemalogue.com has exclusive footage of Harry Reems discussing his reconciliation of Christianity and adult films as well as the attempts by government to censor the adult film industry.
Click here to proceed to the featured interviews.
In the coming week, I’ll have exclusive footage of Reems discussing his indictments and how he reconciles being a Christian with his work and views regarding the adult entertainment industry… The clips will be featured on Cinemalogue.com. You will not find these particular clips anywhere else. “Inside Deep Throat” will be available on DVD on Sept. 20th.
More, directed by Mark Osborne, is a remarkable short. I saw it yesterday for the first time. It’s very similar in stucture and message to “Citizen Kane”. It’s certainly inspired by the same ideas about loss of innocence and losing one’s sense of what’s really important in life.
I may have to write a commentary or essay about it after I’ve had some time to digest and analyze it. Click here to view the short and some of the extra information including a list of the awards it has won and a “behind the scenes” video.
We’re going to feature an interview with Rob McKittrick, the director of Lions Gate Films’ “Waiting…”, soon on the main page. Stay tuned and, as always, do check the forums for news, updates, that kind of thing.
Looks like you’ve found the page for my personal blog. Well, I’m just setting up and testing this right now. Don’t expect too many updates here as I’m not particularly a blogging kind of guy… but I thought it would be a good idea to have a place where I can write some ancillary notes, thoughts, etc. outside of film commentary but somewhat related.
I may also use this blog as a testing environment, due to the identical theme, etc. so that I can bench-test new features before putting them into production on the main movie site.
