For the Spurlock Sisters’ first blog entry, visit: http://filmmakermagazine.com/64191-spurlock-sisters-at-biennale-college-cinema-part-one/

They say that creative works are never really finished, we just let them go at some point.  I guess that’s what deadlines are for.  The new versions of step outline, budget and schedule for A Case of the Dismals were due a …

George-Gund

Celebrating George Gund III

by Sandra Schulberg on January 31, 2013

The indie film world is mourning the loss of George Gund, and so am I.  This modest magnificent man often pretended to not hear or not see, yet he absorbed and adopted the interests and needs of thousands whose worlds he crossed.

by Damon Cardasis on December 20, 2012

Shannon Walker as Vicky and Damon Cardasis as Lysander

You never quite know where something will lead.  We wrote a ridiculous 5 minute sketch in college about a self proclaimed “power couple,” took those characters and created an “interactive dinner party/performance art piece” (as some folks have said), and have …
