ALVY SINGER AND ME




Just downloaded a high definition version of the new WOODY ALLEN documentary made last year for the PBS series American Masters.  In one word. Phenomenal.
I was just saying to my girlfriend that if you really want to know who I am and where I formed my values from..Watch Annie Hall, Manhattan and Hannah and her Sisters.

I remember as a youth being fairly limited in my vocabulary and in my knowledge base. Then I saw Annie Hall and I just felt like someone was teaching me about life and how it wasn't insanely unusual to fear death and to masturbate and to have romantic notions about woman that seem to take over your life. I owe so very much to his films and his blunt but beautiful vision of life.  Oh and his love for foreign films.




I recently made a short film that shows some struggles I have had with Alcohol in the past 10 years. It has a fairly honest message but it has that amateurish look to it which was not my intention. That part makes me cringe a little bit but....  Here is the link to Message In My Bottle:
