  Spiderman: Turn off the Snark
  2010, Musings, Other Peoples Work (1)

  I know this blog is retired and being revamped, but I thought I'd pull a Jay-z and come out of retirement momentarily after I read about the problem-filled Preview of Julie Taymor's new Broadway show . Pretty much to summarize, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is a new Broadway show by Julie Taymor based on Marvel's Spider-Man character and loosely based on the continuity of the recent Spider-Man films. Its full of highwire fighting, flashy costumes, and technological sparkle. It's also light on plot, somehow even the weak story is relatively hard to follow. This is pretty much exactly what to ...

  Sundance
  2009, Other Peoples Work, Announcement (0)

  I'm pleased to announce that Adam Bowers' movie New Low, starring Adam, Toby Turner, and Valerie Jones is going to be in the Sundance Film Festival! That's right, I didn't write Slamdance, I wrote Sundance. As if it can't get any better, guess who was the DP? My boy Ryan Moulton. Check out the trailer and then be their fan To put this into perspective for non-movie people: 3724 features were submitted to Sundance this year. Only 113 of those movies (3%) got the nod.

  More than a year ago now I helped Ryan Moulton produce a short film series called Hawaii Girl. Today, I learned that all but one are finished. It's kind of bittersweet. When I watch them, I remember getting Starbucks coffee for 9 people in the library with Nora; April chasing Jennifer around with the hammer; taking a square foot of sod up to the third floor of the Reitz Union; and pitching jokes to Ryan at the Orange and Brew and deciding what episodes we had time to shoot before the year was over and I graduated. Seeing it reminds me of old ...

  Slings and Arrows of Outrageous Fortune
  2008, Other Peoples Work (0)

  Lifted from a friend of a friend's blog: "This took my by surprise. It’s an actual bow and arrow battle between the Masai and another tribe over land disputes." Maasai warriors cover a battle field as they clash with bows and arrows with members of the Kalenjin tribe...in Western Kenya...over ongoing land disputes. Over twenty warriors from the tribes have been killed in bow and arrow battles near the borders of these tribes in the last couple of months. (Yasuyoshi Chiba/AFP/Getty Images) A war of bows and arrows in the heart of Kenya's crisis Far from the political wrangling taking place in Nairobi's ...

  It’s pronounced Ha-Why?

  Ryan Moulton is a super-genius. As such, I knew it be awesome to work with him on something, so I ended up "Producing" his idea for a live-action adaptation of his high school web comic. According to Ryan... Hawaii Girl is a series of videos that I shot around May. We shot five episodes. It's technically an adaptation of a web comic I did back in High School that may or may not still be online somewhere. HAWAII GIRL: Wake-up Time from Rymo on Vimeo Wake-up Time, the one posted here, was the last one we shot, took the least amount of time to ...
