For those of you who know how pragmatic I can be, you know I don’t normally subscribe to karma. Something is different about the way I feel about welcoming the new year and I’m ready to take on new challenges with a new determination and discipline. In short, I have a very good feeling about 2010. I am excited about several things on the horizon:

1. Trevor White’s new developing feature “Jamesy Boy” is a fantastic script that I am ready to sink my teeth into. The storytelling structure offers an exciting chance to craft two complimentary looks and I am excited to do an early scout with Trevor next week.

2. “Do You Dream in Color”, the new documentary feature I am currently shooting has the potential to travel to China later this year. Combined with some inspiration from my recent travels abroad, I have reinspired myself to take on learning a second language (Mandarin) with a new vigor. In a sense, it has become a very serious New Years resolution.

3. Generally, work is supposed to pick up! I heard the Universal backlot was full of cars yesterday (the first official work day of the year)… And is it true that LA is implementing new tax incentives for film production?
