A year ago, while bitterly complaining to someone working for a local transit provider about Detroit’s ineffective services, he asked me to write it all down. So here it is, presented as a blog post. This post isn’t satire, it’s not about Zelda and the Unibrows, and, frankly, it’s pretty dry. A few things have changed in the year since I wrote this commentary, and I’ve added those at the end.

I look forward to relaunching this business one day.

This 2010 short film uses the 2007 album of the same name as score. A live-action cartoon, a silent film, a dumb play about Zelda and the Unibrows.

In 2008 I was crew for production and postproduction on this indie dark comedy featuring Ron Perlman and Joey Pantoliano. The experience was a film school unto itself and influenced my future production style. The film won best screenplay at the San Diego film festival in 2009.
