Jenny Meets Leprechaun (hee, hee, hee)

On her way to work today, Jenny was approached by a Leprechaun who asked her if she believed in magic. Here’s what happened.

Thank goodness she was wearing a green scarf. I’d hate to think the prank they would have pulled on her if she wasn’t.

Forest Conservationist Rob Messick

Rob MessickCousin Rob Messick was named Forest Conservationist of the Year by the North Carolina Wildlife Federation and the Governor’s office at the 2007 Governor’s Conservation Achievement Awards this past Saturday.

I have to believe that there is no one more knowledgeable about old-growth forest in North Carolina than my cousin Rob. While he certainly gets a lot of recognition from his friends, family, and local media; this is an honor that is well deserved.

Congratulations Rob. Way to go.

Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell debuts Oct. 19

Tonight is the big night. Three years into the making, my brother’s film “The Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell(IMDb) debuts in 25 markets.

My brother is the film’s cinematographer, co-producer, visual effects supervisor, and editor. I can only imagine how thrilled, nervous, and relieved he is to have the film finally go to market.

The film takes place 90 years in the future and tells the tale of a new nation that has emerged in the aftermath of the fall of the United States. With a political satire undertone, some say “The Beach Party At The Threshold Of Hell” is a true Indie film that promises to be the next cult classic.

I first saw the film in 2006 when it opened and closed the LA Film Festival to a full house. Visit www.thresholdofhell.com to see if it is playing near you.

The visuals here are incredible

Found a kind review about my brother’s work on the upcoming film “The Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell (IMDB).”

“The visuals here are incredible. The cinematography is far better than you would expect from a small budgeted independent. Cameron Pearce really makes some amazing things happen working within the limitations of a small budget and tight schedule.” — Magnificent Bastard via www.cybermonkeydeathsquad.com

“The Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell” his theaters this October. I’ll likely post more about this in the coming weeks.
