Producer David Sporn

I had a great lunch meeting yesterday with film producer David Sporn (producer of “Tamara”). We discussed the production schedules for both my next feature film (a horror / suspense) and his. This looks like it will be a very busy summer.

Na-vi in NYC

Been a while since my last post. No excuses, just been busy. We, myself, Kevin and Jacks, were part of the annual international celebration for “Yuris Night 2010”. All of this was in honor the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin. We took part in the creation of the Na-vi prosthetic make ups from “Avatar”. And I am told the two actor/hosts of the party (with our make ups, in full costume/leg extension stilts as well) rocked the night club till dawn.

Students Impress Teacher

The Basic Make Up FX class for the Continuing Education Department has come to a close. The culmination of the class was to impress the teacher with the techniques they learned during the semester. Many students brought in their own victim (model) to work their magic on. The class turned out some really great works-of-gore! My thanks to everyone involved, it was a great semester. I hope to see you all again in the Advanced class, SVA willing.

"Splinterheads" Workshop at SVA

Attended a Producer’s Workshop at School of Visual Arts. It was moderated by the producer of “Splinterheads”, Darren Goldberg. Here’s a man who really knows the independent film industry and film market. Darren Goldberg has some great insights into the development, production, post-production and marketing of independent feature films.

NYU Advanced Student Film Project

I would like to thank Kevin English and Gloria Abrams for being part of my great make up FX team. The work they did on the Kashif Latif film project with me this week was just great. Actress Amanda Sawyer was our victim and did justice to our brutal make ups.

Make Up FX Classes at SVA

Almost every Monday night School of Visual Arts in New York City gets scary. Students and professionals who want to learn and practice the art of make up FX come to the the Continuing Education classes held there. The next Make Up FX class begin in January 2010.
