Confessions


The Fan film seen by hundreds of fellow Battlestar Galactica fans, "Confessions" can now be seen on google video. I entered this piece for a contest presented by the Sci-fi channel. It didn't win but we got some pretty good reviews for those who have followed the show since the beggining. The short was shot with my new Canon xh-a1 in Hi Definition, so of course as soon as i can get the hi-def version of the piece you can view that as well. Enjoy the link is below please cut and paste it to another browser window or just google it.

The History of Filmmaking Frogs


Frogband productions hopped to life back in the early nineties. Most drunken historians have now narrowed it down to some time around 1991 or '92 when a tall skinny boy around the age of ten was finishing his third epic masterpiece of backyard underground filmmaking. The boy knew he needed a production company. Not that he knew what the hell a production company was but they always were referenced in the opening credits and now that he had graduated to actually putting opening titles on his films by god he needed a production company. His eyes feverishly scanned his fathers office looking for inspiration or just some ten year old cool. Then sitting on a Philippine sub-woofer they stared back at him. Frozen in time, forever locked in the middle of a wild thumping chorus sat The Frogs. Brought state side back in the early seventies this stuffed frog rock band was just the inspiration needed. Hence forth from that sunny summer afternoon Frogband Productions was born. Don't ask me for the metaphoric artistic responsibility six instrument playing stuffed frogs stand for, just know that somewhere out there the frogs are watching over the film and they will always keep things weirdly honest and honestly weird.
