About 4 years ago, I attended a discussion panel on filmmaking at the Sacramento International Film Festival where Deon Taylor was a speaker. Something he said that day made him stand out as one of the smartest people in the room, and a name to remember. (more…)
A USC cinema graduate student from Sacramento, has shot the first movie on the iPhone4 and has got some buzz with some help from Twitter. Good Idea. When the iPad gets a camera, I am shooting the first movie with it. Probably not, but it will be worth some buzz.

If you are a filmmaker in the Sacramento area, and you aren’t a CFAA member, go to CFAA meetings, or don’t receive the weekly newsletter, you should be (contact them and ask to be added to the list.
