Get your Rogue on! Issue #3 features four amazing cover spreads: DEBORAH ANN WOLL, star of the series DAREDEVIL; JIM STURGESS, who stars in AMC’s upcoming series FEED THE BEAST; hip-hop maven AZEALIA BANKS; and ZOEY DEUTCH, who currently stars in Linklater’s latest film EVERYBODY WANTS SOME.

… Plus a superfluity of film music fashion and culture. So honored to be a contributing writer for this smart, stylish magazine!

This issue is particularly special to me: I wrote a feature on Robin Lord Taylor, the cover story on Jim Sturgess, and my first ever culture piece for Rogue on the Cult of Ignorance in America today.

My full interview of young music phenom Zella Day from Rogue Magazine Issue #2 is now available online! She wrote her first album at 13 and is now breaking out in a huge way. You may have heard her song “Sacrifice” on the Divergent Series: Insurgent soundtrack or her woeful “Seven Nation Army” cover and, if you like that, you should definitely check out her debut album “Kicker” released this past June. She was a strong, soulful interview and her personality resonates deeply in her music. Elements of folk, pop, rock and soul mix to create her own fresh, unconventional sound. She believes that people respond to her music because of its eclectic appeal. “There’s something for everybody.” Read more at Rogue Magazine HERE!

My latest experiment in animation using a 35mm photograph I took of Wiscasset in the fog and a bird I captured in Rangeley.

My first attempt at animation using a photo I took in Wiscasset, Maine of my favorite ash tree (vectorized) and a photo I took of the crow that haunts my backyard.

So excited to announce that my one-hour TV pilot THE CANE FIELDS has made it through to the semifinals of Filmmakers TV Script Writing Competition!!! This news seems particularly heartening in light of continued demand for projects that more honestly reflect our culturally and ethnically diverse world. I cannot over-express the excitement and encouragement I am feeling that a story like this would make it so far. 

The latest issue of Rogue Magazine is now available! There’s a lot of snark and bombast out there — this isn’t that. 150 pages of lush meaty fashion, film, music & culture. Very proud to be one of the contributors — I wrote features on three impressive and artistic women: Caity Lotz, Christian Serratos and Zella Day.
