Oh my God what a time I’ve had so far. Day Three was unbelievable! It’s been mind-blowing; I can’t believe all that I have seen, heard, and experienced! I don’t even think these blog posts can truly convey the scale of it all. There was just too much to see and do—I’d need ten of […]
So here it is, the big day at Comic-Con! Day Three! That being the Saturday of the convention. Day Two was phenomenal but this is the peak day, an all-out tour de force of people and events. The scale of it is like nothing you could ever imagine—if you can believe that the last two […]
What a Day One yesterday!!! Now it’s time for Day Two of San Diego Comic-Con baby! After a slow start due to some technical difficulties getting my pics of the adventure uploaded due to the fact that the Internet here in San Diego seems to be overloaded by the multitudes of people all trying to use […]

Somewhere in the first act, Russian émigré Melena (Sarah Tolan Mee) shoots out the window of her Lower East Side apartment and, with manic glee, races down the fire escape. A few partygoers look on after her from the window. Her husband, at wit’s end, shouts, “There’s nothing for you out there, Melena!” Somewhere in […]
With all of the theater choices Rhode Island has to offer, it’s surprisingly difficult to find something fresh and unknown. While the movie studios tend to produce much-anticipated new blockbuster releases from June through September, the theaters tend to churn out revivals and light, familiar fare.

Last weekend, a few brave souls took to the streets, cameras in hand, to participate in Providence’s 48 Hour Film Project.
