You may have already heard that I was devastated by the robbery that took place at my apartment at 11:00am October 3, 2006. Devastated. Having taken YEARS to build the arsenal of equipment I needed as a filmmaker… being robbed of them within 20 minutes was disheartening to say the least. And despite the financial set back, my TOOLS and eight months of work on my movie were taken from me. And before you start being a jerk about insurance and back-ups, just know that the back-ups were not offsite and stolen as well (lesson learned, thanks) and insurance… well, I thought of getting it in the months before being robbed but never followed through. I had simply never owned anything before and any urgency on the matter hadn’t occurred to me (lesson learned again!). So thanks for not being predictable and a jerk in my time of weakness. 

The EXCELLENT NEWS is that with the help of good ole Brian Geldin I began logging and digitizing NO Cross, NO Crown again. I currently have an awesome hour and thirty minute cut! I’m so excited and I will say, it kicks ass. I maintain that though there’s nothing gimmicky about the idea, it’s still unique and a story that should be told about New Orleans. It’s almost as though the people from down there are not able to articulate what New Orleans really means to this country, and outsiders can only see the human rights atrocity. I hope to finally smooth that out for everyone.
