Hi folks! Some of you might know me from the FSM board, or as a frequent contributor of video documentaries to the early years of FSM Online.

I haven’t contributed in awhile, but here’s why: I’ve been directing a low-budget independent feature film called Nocturne

The film, which chronicles Film Score Monthly founder Lukas Kendall’s efforts to produce vintage film scores for CD release, was directed by Saul Pincus and photographed in Chicago, San Francisco, and in and around Los Angeles. Granted unrestricted access to Kendall’s world, Pincus paints a revealing and intimate portrait of a young entrepreneur pursuing his dream.

There were at least nine Emmys on the mantle, and the house was perched comfortably on the hill. A kumquat tree sat ripening by the front door. 

It had been a long and winding trip up hill through Bel Air, and by the time Tim Curran and I finally pulled up to Bruce’s house, I’d been well briefed. Bruce was a cool guy, I’d heard – especially amenable to interviews. A good thing, since our intention was to get epic with our content.
