One Sourbon, One Scotch, One Sake, and One Beer

Mitch Cullin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:13:24 -0800

Well, Happy New Year to all you Red Roomers, et al...Last month, Johnny Knoxville sat down with Hisao Shinagawa and interviewed him for jackassworld.com's 'One bourbon, One scotch, and One beer.' As some of you may know--or more likely don't know-- Hisao was the subject of a documentary I produced and my partner Peter directed (two years, lots of time spent at various ...

Please vote No on Prop. 8 in California

Mitch Cullin — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 12:46:03 -0700

Dear friends,Just a month ago it looked like Proposition 8 didn't have overwhelming support for passage. Now this has all changed, due largely to a misleading and successful ad campaign by the supporters of Prop. 8. that has been fueled considerably by out-of-state funding. Proposition 8 puts discrimination into our State's Constitution. It would inject government into private lives. It ...

Tokyo is Dreaming

Just thought I'd share a couple of press kit trailers for Peter I. Chang's forthcoming film TOKYO IS DREAMING, a documentary that I was also fortunate enough to have produced. There is still some tinkering and post-production work yet to be done, but I'm happy to report that Chang's incredible imagery has found an equal partner in the haunting musical contributions of Calexico's John ...

Gay Marriage: The Arguments and the Motives

Mitch Cullin — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 02:27:11 -0700

In light of the California Supreme Court ruling that struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage, I thought I'd shine a little light on Scott Bidstrup's excellent essay on the gay marriage debate, which is posted below and can also be read on Mr. Bidstrup's web site: http://www.bidstrup.com/marriage.htm* * * * Gay Marriage: The Arguments and the Motives A personal essay in hypertext ...

Alejandro Escovedo

Mitch Cullin — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:37:56 -0700

Just thought I'd throw my two cents in about Alejandro Escovedo's new CD Real Animal: it's fantastic! As lyrically strong as much of his earlier recordings, this Tony Visconti-produced collection of songs harkens back to the more uptempo crunch of his work with True Believers and Rank & File, and it jangles too. After nearly losing Escovedo to Hepatitis C in 2003, it's a gift to have ...

The 32nd Flavor

This is actually a reply I left on Katherine MacWilliams' blog, but I thought I'd also add it to my blog with the hope that others might want to chime in with their own dreaded "rejection" story. Here's the link to Katherine's original blog (a situation I'm positive most of us have been through): http://www.redroom.com/blog/katherine-mcwilliams/rejection* * * * Hi ...
