There are moments of my time where all my problems seem to fade and that's when I'm surfing the net reading Newspapers, Weeklies, Blogs, News Items from around the world looking for interesting stories about film, or filmmakers, oh and maybe UFOs.

Sometimes if the film related stories are good, I'll send them off to my friend David in Germany where he then plugs them into his fantastic cinema website GreenCine Daily.

I have to admit, I get a huge thrill seeing my name and website acknowledged by link for all the world of cinema to see. He doesn't have to do it, but he does.

Over the years I've been reading his page, I've learned more than any film school could possible offer and many times filmmakers have written me after I've posted a comment, or David has linked to me.

David has posted my short films on the site, too. I've made friends with filmmakers and film goers from all over the World. If cars ran on film content instead of oil...

The film loving friends I've made from Middle Eastern Countries because of GreenCine Daily couldn't be any better. Stories good and bad seem to open up a dialog and unite. Even if there's a disagreement about a film, at least there is talking.
