This photo appeared in this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly. The tall guy in the back with the beard is named Joel David Moore, and he’s the director of the short film I wrote called “Hours Before Dawn.”  It’s the second time this short has been produced. You can see a trailer for the first production (a film school grad’s thesis project) here. Joel’s production is a lot more professional. He filmed it using a RED ONE camera which is top-of-the-line for independent films.  He’s also an actor, co-starring in the upcoming adventure movie, “Avatar”.  If he gets some attention, hopefully he’ll talk about the short film he directed, written by me. I know he’s planning to submit it to festivals and stuff. He just filmed it last month so when I see something, I will pass it on for you to see.
