Fan Cinema Today

Here it is, after about 18 different attempts:

At the top, is a behind-the-scenes shot from Star Wars: Revelations and the bottom is from a promo shot of Chris, the head of Blinky Productions which makes those great Blue Bettle and Power Girl movies.

To quote the not-so-great Jim Anchower, “I know it’s been a long time since I rapped at ya,” but it’s been busy around here, between writing, working and presentations. In fact, one of my fan film presentations got mentioned in a Newsday article on Hofstra University’s recent academic symposium on James Bond.

I held back on the monthly update in hopes of unveiling the cover for Homemade Hollywood: Fans Behind The Camera, but it’s still under construction. Between the good (and patient) folks at Continuum Books and myself, we’ve gone back and forth on more than a dozen cover designs…and we’re getting close. Hopefully December’s update will bring the final cover to light. In the meantime, the book hit 60,000 words right around the turn of the month. New interviews gathered for it include feature director Joe Nussbaum (Sydney White; American Pie Presents The Naked Mile), NYU professor Dan Streible, Five Towns College professor Dan Galiardi, Iron Fist fan film actor Albert Lamont, and others. Things are humming right along….
