It’s almost midnight as I write this—I just got in from hours of driving and haven’t unpacked yet, so it’s short one today. I hit the New England Fan Experience in Cambridge, MA over the weekend to both show tons of fan films during two separate programs and introduce my brand-new masterpiece humble tome, Homemade [...]

Remember that little book I’ve mentioned only about a billion times? Perhaps you recall how I kept saying it was coming out, month after month…and then it didn’t? Well, the latest news from my publisher, Continuum, is that Homemade Hollywood rolls off the presses on November 14! From there, it gets shipped out to book [...]

Tonight, I’ll be hosting a night of fan films/author talk at the Mass Bay Film Project‘s new home, the Cape Ann Community Cinema in Gloucester, MA (Wednesday, Oct. 29). On Monday, I also mentioned that I’d be screening a super-secret fan film tonight that was shut down by lawyers in the late 1990s—it hasn’t been [...]

Well, today’s October 15—the big day when Homemade Hollywood: Fans Behind The Camera hits the shelves! A full 10 years after I first had the idea for this baby, it’s finally out of my head and into the real world. Here’s a goofy idea: If you see a copy of the book out in the [...]

As I’ve mentioned many times here on FCT, I’ve written the first book about fan films, Homemade Hollywood: Fans Behind The Camera, which will come out from Continuum Books on October 1. That’s still a month away (although yes, you can pre-order it from Amazon and elsewhere), but the first review has hit the web [...]

I believe it was the noted philosopher Tom Petty who once opined, “The waiiiiiiiiting is the hardest part,” and no truer words were ever spoken (other than “the check is in the mail.” ‘Cause it is. I swear it. Honest. April fools!). Where was I? Oh yeah, the waiting. See, although I finished the writing [...]
Y’know, whenever you watch a movie where there’s an author character, the first thing everyone says to him/her is ‘How’s the new book coming?’—and invariably the writer responds with a sigh and a complaint about writer’s block. That never happens in real life, of course—not the writer’s block part, but the people asking how the [...]

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 [...]
OK, I need your help, but it takes almost no effort and you get something cool for your time! See, I’m writing the first book ever about fan films–it’s coming out next year from Continuum Books, and knock on wood, it’s gonna be pretty darn good. Mostly it’s going to be the history of fan-made [...]
