the NAUSEA subsides

As we reached the end of production for NAUSEA earlier today (actually about a month ago, but late on my updates); I was overcome with a feeling of great joy followed by an intense void. This is the feeling that all filmmakers receive when faced with the end of two year production of a single [...]

It's been a NAUSEOUS winter...

It’s been a NAUSEOUS winter…

It has been a long time since I have spoken to you about the NAUSEA process… and what a process it has been!

Filming is a slow process this time around. In the past, Evil Wine has gone through a [...]

NAUSEA continues…

So I met with an actress yesterday at the amazing little cafe in Hyde Park called the Sun Ray Cafe (where a great deal of the filming is going to take place). Her name was (and hopefully still is) Lisa Ramos. Dustin Jones and myself sat for a few minutes rolling cigarettes and drinking a [...]
