Hey everyone, my new movie 43 Degrees North is now available on Prime Video. Please check it out if you get a chance. It’s a drama that deals with loss and grief. #IndieFilm #Cinema #MakingMovies #MaineFilm #Maine #MadeInMaine watch.amazon.com/detail?gti=a...

Happy Rex Manning Day!

ChatGPT did not know this, so if you’re looking for the Little House episode where Laura gets a tin cup for Christmas from Mr. Edward’s, it’s actually a moment in the pilot movie (episode 1). The AI apps keep referring to an episode later in the series when this moment is retold.

Remember kids, anytime an indie film platform says it’s “evolving”, it usually means it’s going to be less indie-friendly and indie-centric.

Christmas in Maine. #Maine #Christmas #MaineChristmas #CascoBay

A couple weeks ago, we had an awesome screening of my film 43 DEGREES NORTH at the Bowdoin Film Society in Brunswick, Maine. For a multitude of reasons, this meant a lot to me personally. #indiefilm #filmmaking #filmmaker #MakingMovies #cinema

An incredible sunset on Casco Bay on Wednesday evening (12/03/2025). Truly extraordinary. The panoramic was to document the ribbon of clouds that extended from Portland to Cliff Island. The close-up is how the red actually looked to the eye! #Maine #CascoBay

Some scenics of Casco Bay (mostly evening).

I tried to show my kid the live action Charlotte’s Web movie on the Roku channel but had to shut it off. Why do they think it’s okay to put pharmaceutical ads on a kid’s movie? Advertisers should insist their ads only play to audiences that are relevant, otherwise they’re just burning cash.

An island across the sound…

Today I walked from one island, to another, via a sandbar that only appears during low tide.

"Evil doesn't always wear Nazi boots" James Vanderbilt's new film (with a superb Russell Crowe) is a compelling historical drama, a warning against present-day authoritarianism, and a breath of a fresh air in a film industry drunk with nationalism - from San Sebastian: dmovies.org/2025/09/24/n...

A rare site: the down-bay freighter ferry, Maquoit II temporarily parked in the slip for the Peaks Island car ferry, Machigonne II. #CascoBay #Maine #Maritime

September morning on Casco Bay. #Maine #CascoBay #scenic #SliceOfLife

Funky light pattern through the leaves (left by a street lamp).

Some grabs from this evening’s walk.

Law school being so expensive is in and of itself a systemic failure of society. The same thing with med school.

The iPhone building a photo montage called “Beach day” and putting all the photos from a memorial service in it is morbidly funny.

Oh deer.

A really great house in Maine. How they acquired a USCG navigation buoy is a story I’d like to hear. Also, I want one myself 😂

We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.

Sunrise this morning, on Casco Bay, was something else!

Last night’s walk. I haven’t really been doing evening walks for two years, but trying to get back into it.

From my hometown of Long Island, Maine - I always thought that Cousin’s Island (and the City of Yarmouth), just across the bay, looked like an aircraft carrier at anchor. On a night ride down the bay last Friday evening, I noticed it still does.

Night ferry ride on August 29, 2025. Start of a new era.

A remarkable castle-like library and theater in Monmouth, Maine. It’s called “Cumston” 🤷. Anyway, just wanted to share this glorious architecture.

Rockland lighthouse - high tide. There is a breakwater to walk there but it’s hard to see with the tide so high. The fog wall in the backdrop blocks the view of Vinalhaven and North Haven Islands. Almost like a protective incantation. #Maine

Be careful who you accept grant money from and be weary of the terms. In the end, money isn’t free.

Yo, @gregvorob.bsky.social - I rarely hear Meat Loaf’s music licensed in films, but the use of “Everything Louder Than Everything Else” in That’s My Boy is solid gold: youtu.be/quOvKwBHGkY?...

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

In a rural Vermont county, spotty cell phone coverage is the norm. But a local tinkerer is using old technology to help his community stay connected free of charge.

Eminem getting eaten by alligators is something I never thought I’d see in a movie, yet here we are.

Sweet and Salty are “tastes” - whereas Pineapple, Grape, Orange are flavors. Sweet is not a flavor. You can have Pineapple flavor, for example, without it tasting sweet. Think: Pineapple Seltzer. Okay, that’s it’s for now. 👍

The score for 43 Degrees North, composed by Italian composer Matteo Bartolo, will release on August 22nd. This is the first full score for one of my movies that will get a soundtrack release. #IndieFilm #Filmmaking #Filmmaker
