(I get nothing from it, trust me. Jerry just owes me drinks for life.)
I'm really lookin forward to what this Fall brings. Been back in NYC now for over 3 weeks now (amazing, I've gotten to just be in one place for awhile), but gearing up to hit the road again soon. In a couple of weeks, I'll be in Hawaii for the Hawaii International Film Festival for the world premiere of THE ...Read more
I've heard all the nightmare stories from people who have worked on productions in China - crew who don't understand the technical aspects of shooting a show/film, ridiculous hours (there is no union to regulate things like this), directors who direct projects into the ground, sound (invisible) men, the list of complaints goes on and on like an angry wife nitpicking about her no good lazy ass husband who does nothing but sit around the house farting all day while she rakes the leaves, washes dishes, folds the laundry, all while holdin...Read more
I'm back in NYC. Home sweet home! What a whirlwind the last week or so has been. Last week, I was in Shanghai, Pucheon in Korea, and then New York in a 7 day span. I'm kind of done with aeroplanes but I think for as long as I do what I'm doing, the travel is just something I'm going to have to accept. Whenever Richard Branson perfects that space travel idea of his, I'm signing up.
I just spent the past 6 weeks in Asia - primarily in Shanghai again - and the heat was gettin' completely unbearable. But I had to ...Read more
Hey, I just saw AlivenotDead posters all over the place on my walk to the b-ball gym today. A partnership with .tom.com I think. I'm still not sure what that's all about 'cause I can't read Chinese worth doo-doo. But seeing all them thingys up was cool. Terence and his funny face with 15 other guys all screaming, jumping, horsing around to something. Good job Patrick and Stephen! Your penetration into the mainland is on.
I'm starting to see why the fellas named this site what it is. I'm alive...not dead! That's what I want to scream after realizing I haven't blogged something since early May??! Is that right? Can't be so? What the hell have I been doing??
It ain't that I don't love this site, but I think I just got blogged out this year. Not that I was blogging a bunch to begin with, but I sorta keep another blog and since I've been in China, it's been damn near impossible getting onto it, so I've just le...Read more
And...we're off!
It became official last night here in Shanghai as Shanghai Rush finally kicked off! It was too much fun watching it with everyone. I think we've created a really fun, enjoyable show for the public and gauging from the early feedback, it seems people think so as well. Viewers can interact by texting for their favorite teams and the one-liners on the show were priceless (and repeated often). Thank you producer people - you guys rocked it and created/edited/pulled together the best people for it all.
To my delig...Read more
Phew! Today has been my first real day where I haven't had to be anywhere doing anything since I arrived in Asia. A nice breather...though there's lots to do yet. We recently wrapped shooting and post-pro is in full swing. I've started seeing clips here and there and let me just say that post-pro people are magicians! It's coming soon...so tune in, Shanghai!
I'm hoping somehow episodes starting May 3 will make it onto Tudouso friends back...Read more
Wow - a much needed day off from production today! Well, for me anyways. Poor crew - they're still at it feverishly...I figured I'd throw in a blog on my off day as I haven't really been able to sit at a computer for more than 15 minutes in the last couple weeks ever since we started going at it! 5:45/6:00am wake ups and not returning till up to 10pm.
I can't decide what I can or can't say, but after I opened the local Read more
