Spent the last two days in Kingsland, Texas, at the confluence of the Llano and Colorado rivers. The Llano rose about 4 or 5 feet last night and has receded this morning, leaving debris on the riverside. We’re about 90 miles northwest of the tragic flooding in Kerrville. Heading home soon.

Fireworks tonight, on the Llano River.

I'm off to Lake Placid to begin shooting/directing IceBreakers, the never-before-told story of the US Women's 1994 Bobsled Team. Watch the video. And perhaps you can help us get this thing on the track and headed for a fast finish!

A film I helped make and one I'm proud of, HORTON FOOTE: THE ROAD TO HOME, will screen September 13 at the Garland Plaza Theater on the opening night of the It Came From Texas Film Festival.

It will be its first screening in Dallas, and I invite you to attend.

After the storm.

Here's the latest update on our documentary, DUST: An Accidental Time Capsule.

DUST Update Full Frame Foundation is pleased to announce that DUST - An Accidental Time Capsule, began filming on May 18, 2024 in Corsicana, Texas.

My office today: interviewing Kevin Moriarity, Exec. Director, Dallas Theater Center, telling the story of "Mr. Culture," John Rosenfield, arts columnist/critic for the Dallas Morning News from the 1920's to the mid-60's, part of the story for my documentary The Blue House, which was and remains a lovely Queen Anne Victorian home in the Cedars neighborhood of Dallas. John's father, Max Rosenfield, built The Blue House in 1886. In 1955 his son stood on this spot with world-renown architect Frank Lloyd Wright and invited him to build a theatre here, above a limestone escarpment on Turtle Creek. The Dallas Theater Center is the only theater that Frank Lloyd Wright saw built in his lifetime.

Thank you everyone who turned out on a blustery Sunday to learn about the history of The Blue House, the last Queen Anne Victorian home in the Cedars neighborhood. The house, almost 140 years old, was about to be demolished and was rescued by neighbors who wanted it saved. On Sunday we celebrated its rebirth, restored by Mark Martinek and Jay Baker, two Cedars residents.

During the event organized by Preservation Dallas and Dallas Jewish Historical Society, I screened an excerpt from my work-in-progress documentary about this remarkable home and the man who build it in 1885, Max Rosenfield. Among the attendees was Alex Ray, Max's great-grandson.

My office today.

Pegasus flies again!
