Hey Nick Phillips! That's a tough one, because I like so many. A couple of things more recent I like are actually TV series. I love the music in Only Murders in the Building. It's mostly simple piano...

Hey James Doane most recently I loved the score for Conclave, it really enhanced the intrigue and thriller elements to the story and had an almost baroque feel. Also, I love anything that Jonny Greenw...

Never give up

I'm giving strong consideration to making a blog out of this, but friends, never give up. Here are two recent examples of why I can attest to this.

As a publicist, I am tasked with getting opportunities for my clients. I had two such occasions recently that almost slipped away -- but turned into wins...

Yup, it actually even used to be on my agency website. Makes me wonder how/when/why it got taken off? (Probably when we transitioned to the current look/layout.)

Patrik Gyltefors
Greetings from Kamakura

Hi, I am Patrik, an avid Houdini and Nuke fan, residing in Kamakura, the shogunate era capital of Japan. I just joined Stage 32 hoping to find other filmmakers to collaborate with.

Nick Phillips

Great answer Patrik Gyltefors! The Genesis Effect was one of the first instances of CGI work that I had ever seen, it really blew my mind, I was 9 at the time. Same with Tron that same year!...

Patrik Gyltefors

Nick Phillips, yes, nothing really has that kind of impact nowadays.

Patrik Gyltefors

Nick Phillips, talking about CG, when visualizing normals on CG models, my colleagues would always say: "this looks like Hellraiser". Those are cult classics!

And, as per usual, there is a theme! Five points if you can figure it out without using Google. And no cheating -- the rule is r...

Thanks, Nick Phillips. i enjoy doing them. Keeps some creative juices flowing. Especially during periods of writer’s block. Knowing I have only a weekend gives me a deadline.

John Snell

Way to go Doug Kayne, keep up the good work and making it happen!

Doug Kayne

I’m trying, John Snell. On the plus side, I can’t do it all alone, so I get to bring people along for the ride. And, when I get success, the plan is to bring them along with me.
