Night: The Flashbacks

While everyone gathered with family and gorged themselves, the production of my short film Night pressed on. The final two scenes were shot the day before and after thanksgiving, wrapping the shooting for the film at 9pm on Friday.

Self Presentation

Being a creative person, I'm constantly exploring different concepts and ideas about the world around me. Trying to figure out my place in the world and the overall goals of my time here on Earth. From time to time, I turn this idea in on myself, expressing who I am and exploring the the ways I can contort my human figure to create art. Over the past few months I have compiled a few different self portraits, all with different concepts.

Two of the self portraits began with this picture:

Extraordinary People: Ari Evans

This section is new to this blog. Every few weeks I plan to create a post that pertains to a specific person that I have randomly met over the last year or so that is 'worth knowing'.

The first person featured on this blog is Ari Evans. I met Ari Evans not too long ago at Webster Hall in NYC. We were both at Webster to see one Justice, a rather large name in the electronic music world. We happened to bump into each other early in the night and began talking. The relationship has held ever since. We have run into each other several other times at various different shows. The biggest question is: What makes Ari so interesting?

Over  the  time  that  I  met  Ari,  he  has  worked  with  several  other friends  to  create  one  of  the  more  successful  electronic  music  blogs found on the Internet today: Less  Than  Three. The  blog  has  been  rapidly  growing  and  gaining  recognition  in  the  electronic  music  world. Being  a  film  student  striving  to  break  into  the  media  world,  Ari's success  intrigued  me  and  I felt  that  everyone  could  learn  from  his experiences.  I  decided  to  ask  Ari  to  answer  several  questions  about his  blog  and  his  life.

Train side Philosophy

Life is such a crazy thing. Everyone is born and travels through this world absolutely clueless. We pick up knowledge, hints, and tricks on how to successfully live in this world, but we are still as clueless as we began. It amazes me how we are all striving toward this same goal of happiness and meaning of existence, but instead of working together, most people will trample over the man next to them to get what they think they want/need.


Life is a constant struggle filled with positives and negatives that we all endure. We need to stop fearing that others in the world are there to steal our happiness and what we want. Instead, embrace your neighbours, share the knowledge you've accumulated, smile when you enter a crowded room. Chances are your life is better than you think. If we all helped each other instead of beating one another down, the world would be such a better place.
It's about collaboration. Working together to figure out what we are here to do. What I ask might sound like a utopian paradise, but isn't too farfetched.
Smile more, help that old lady across the street, share your happiness and knowledge with everyone you meet. We are all as confused and clueless as you may feel.


That's all the philosophy I have to share as I wait for this train. Take it as you will.
