Circa 1994.

I hung with some very talented, big dreaming guys a few years back.  We all had dreams of making our mark doing short films and hoped to go on to feature productions.  During my short stint in college we did a couple of short films <span style="font-style:italic;">"I Hate Bowling"</span> and <span style="font-style:italic;">"Wireless"</span>.

At the conclusion of those two shorts I had something more adventurous in mind -a travel picture on an budget-conscious-epic scale  In my grandiose vision it wasn't good enough to tell them about the story, I had to show them in picture form...with music...and movie clips.  

In addition to that, I wanted to impart some sense of where we had been and where we were, hopefully, going in the future.  I had a little help from a few names in the movie industry: Coppola, Speilberg, Lucas and Kohatsu.  All the biggies.

I might point out that our ad-hoc production company was called <span style="font-weight:bold;">Red Herring Pictures</span>...and boy, that name couldn't have been closer to the truth.

So, here's <a href="http://www.digitalhooligans.com/vlog/media/fishingforanoscar_sm.mov" target="_blank">Fishing for an Oscar: Bowling and Beyond </a>.<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;"></div>
