The day finally came to replace my computer's DVD drive. It had written so much these last 4 years that it finally broke down. DVD writers are now getting cheaper, bought this for US$20.

Gorgeous paper, pen poised, and then I realize that I have writer's block. So the pen lies flat and I stare at it.

Meagan and I noticed these guys flying outside of our window. I grabbed my Canon Reflex 500mm and tried to get a couple shots of the planes. Eventually we could read what they were writing: "More than just car insurane."
So. There you go.
Griffin, age 22, has been a poet and writer for the past five years.
Born in Brooklyn, Griffin spent his childhood and teenage years in a series of state institutions - larger residence programs for at-risk youths such as Children's Village in Dobbs Ferry, NY, and Green Chimneys in Brewster, NY. During the last four years before aging out of the foster care system he found himself back in NYC, finishing high school while living in a Salvation Army group home for boys, The East Village Residency. A 7-months stint in jail was followed by his 22nd birthday, and a new commitment to writing. He is a senior writer at Represent Magazine, a bi-monthly publication for and by youth in foster care by the non-profit www.youthcomm.org. Griffin stays at his older sister's home in Harlem most nights, with occasional stints in drop-in shelters when the siblings argue.
For the past 5 months, Melissa, age 20, and Griffin have been a couple. Herself recovering from a history of early childhood institutionalization in group homes and psychiatric programs, Melissa for the first time in her life feels like she can love and trust somebody, and she also appreciates the help and guidance Griffin's older sister Salina can provide for her. The young couple fantasizes about getting married and getting a place of their own, providing a home for themselves, Salina and her boyfriend Anthony, if they can scrunch together enough money between the four of them.

"The Night of the Black Cat" takes place on one magical night when some of France's most famed artists travel through time to entertain in the salon of Germaine de Stael. It's a provocative, fun-filled musical set in the French Cabaret “Le Chat Noir” in Paris 1881, featuring forbidden poetry, passionate dancing and sensual music. The show is an original work based on themes that resonated through the Parisian café in the years after its opening. Experience a taste of a revolutionary artistic movement set in the watering hole of the world’s most influential artists including George Sand, Jane Avril, Edith Piaf, Picasso and other luminaries. The Night of the Black Cat is a mystical, magical, and sensual night.

In my journey as a writer-slash-filmmaker, I often wonder what it is that I actually contribute to the quote-unquote, greater good. As of now, I'm both unpublished and unproduced; all the amazing ideas (just ask me and I'll tell you how awesome they are) are still either locked in my noggin' or snagged in the net of the Hollywood studio bureaucracy.
A couple of years ago I made a commitment to myself that I would do my damnedest to make the world a better place with every movie I write-and-or-direct. Since this moral manifesto was put into effect, I've turned down several paying gigs because they didn't meet that standard to me. It was either sex and violence for their own sake or simply just a plain old run-of-the-mill bad story.
But as I followed the Oscars from the safety of my Twitter account (I won't watch the actual ceremony. I have this superstition that I can neither attend nor watch an awards-slash-festival until I'm actually a part of said event. Sounds crazy, I know) I couldn't help but wonder: is it worth lowering my standards just to get my proverbial foot in the proverbial door?
For me, it isn't worth it. I may not drive a Beemer; I don't have a mansion in the Hamptons; and I may forever be an unknown, but I have my standards.
(And, so glad Hurt Locker took Best Picture and director)
