62 pages. 29,018 words. 151,828 characters. Is that a script? The first few chapters of a novel? All of the tweets I’ve ever posted? Nope. It’s the transcript for the 23 interviews shot (so far) for Parkway of Broken Dreams. And that’s not even the full transcript. That’s just the time-coded highlights from the interviews…

We’ve been back about a week now from a whirlwind two-and-a-half-day excursion to the Pacific Northwest, from which we brought back a lot of interview footage and a seasonal cold, hence why it’s taken us more than a week to post an update.

We partially have the Las…

Friday is here! And we crossed an important threshold in our crowdfunding campaign–surpassing 30% of goal–thanks to a bunch of very generous contributions that came in last night. So, today, I present to you a vision of what Parkway of Broken Dreams might have looked like if it was made more than a decade ago: Yep,…

So, I had just come back from a four-day expedition to Las Vegas, where I was filming interviews for this documentary (or trying; one fell through) and being interviewed by my alma mater (UNLV, ‘natch). It was Wednesday evening, and I had until 11:59 p.m. Friday to finish building a crowdfunding campaign for Parkway of…

So, a little confession: I was a little nervous to post the teaser for this film. I’d been talking about the project for a long time without going into any details, and at this point, it was getting hard to be vague about it while actively engaging participants. I knew I’d need to go public,…
