i.e. food, booze and random snapshots. 
I just released my first ever podcast, What The Hell Did I Just Watch? (LINK IN BIO) In the first episode, I discuss First a Reformed— most specifically I discuss the final scene of First Reformed. I pick a part the necessary details to make sense of that shocking, transcendent moment, and in doing so I discuss some Calvinist theology and explore the dichotomies that form the backbone of the entire film. This first episode is just me and entirely extemporaneous. It’s more of a pilot than what each episode will be. Most episodes will include a guest, and all will be focused around dissecting films that have you leaving the theater thinking, “What The Hell Did I Just Watch?” . . . . . . #podcast #filmpodcast #film #filmmaking #writing #firstreformed #ethanhawke #artfilm #church #cedrictheentertainer #climatechange #writer
REMINDER: Tomorrow in Springfield, MO at 4PM at The Wine Dive there will be a showing of my documentary Lingua Francas during the Taste of SoMo food festival downtown. Following the showing I’ll be on a panel discussing food in Springfield and the film. If you can, come out enjoy the food and tell me how much you hate my documentary!

For all my Springfield people, Lingua Francas will be showing during the Taste of SoMo Food Festival at 4pm on June 23rd. Following the screening there will be a Q&A with @daniel_ernce and I. If you’re in the Springfield area, come out, say hi and let’s grab a beer afterwards! . . . . . . . #film #documentary #fooddoc #filmmaker #springfieldmo #downtownsgf #tasteofsomo #copenhagen #mothersbrewing #urbanroots #farms
For those in St. Louis that are interested in seeing my doc, “Lingua Francas” it will be showing the weekend of July 13th at the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase. I’ll post more info on other Midwest showings in the near future.
Not a photographer, but I pretend to be one for my friends sometimes.

Homemade cured 2 hour hot smoked trout with dill, lemon, roasted garlic aioli. Quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever made. Happy Memorial Day.
DIY Landscaping Before & After Part DEUX. The Inset Fire Pit circle. . The hardest part was digging away all of the earth and grass so that the marble chunks would sit an inch or two below ground level. Scoring and hauling that dirt away by hand was not fun.
As Kilauea erupts, here’s a flashback to last year when @ahoy_jessie and were I walking over the Kilauea lava flows, as well as one of the Kilauea vents flowing into the ocean. I’m sure the view is a bit different now.
