Eclipse

The phases of our lives
are passing shadows.

Our brilliant, bold heat gives way to a darkness
we fear will never release its hold.

But given time, the light returns
and we do see clearly again.

Wait … it will unfold.

This film explores the darkness invoked by the human propensity for depression, when all options seem to have closed … and the illumination which returns when we find the path beneath our feet again. In its original form, the poem was written to acknowledge the close of a love affair while the sharp fragments of friendship became increasingly painful to embrace.

Monitor Gray is Reborn

Twenty four years ago I wrote a short story called “Monitor Gray”, followed by “Jon’s Song” and “Sands” four years later. Now, after three months of dedicated work, we are just thirty six hours from shooting the most important scene in a ten minute short film treatment of the same name.

Monitor Gray is reborn.
