  • 9: 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-PTOOF!
    Shane Acker, all said and done, sure got one thing right. If you’re going to make an addendum to one of the most beloved artifacts in the pop culture universe and if you don’t want to commit a McG-sized (Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, Terminator Salvation) motion picture embarrassment, the guy you take notes from is the one and only Mr. James Cameron.

  • Making Short films
    I recently met Manjeet Singh, an author on PFC in Mumbai. We had a long and interesting chat about films and particularly on his feature film project.
