About

I put up this blog in late 2009 for a project that never materialized. I have no plans to make a movie at the moment. However, in the Fall of 2020, I took three trips to Woodstock. I felt pulled by something beyond my control. With winter closing in and COVID-19 spiking, I have no immediate plans to travel again, but I would like to document where I want to go.

From 2008 to 2014, I contributed to The Film Panel Notetaker, where I chronicled young, up-and-coming Directors and Festivals. You can read those posts here. Since 2014, I have contributed to publications in the Central and Western New York region, Edible Finger Lakes, The Finger Lakes Wine Gazette, and 585 (Rochester). I hope to have a full-fledged website eventually, but for now, here is a selection of my articles:
