About my first short film "FOOD"... |
June 2008:
- I was offered to teach a course at the University of Oregon Computer Science Department. I am also starting my 10th year at the Lane Community College Computer Information Technology Department.
October 2007:
- I resigned from the Board of Directors of the Eugene International Film Festival after over 2 years of service.
April 2007:
- I purchased and moved into a brand new condo. Every time I move I promise this is the last time. I must be the worst person to do move. I am glad I had friends to help.
September 2006:
- The first issue of new Eugene Magazine, a shiny quarterly, featured local film scene, an article about the Eugene Film Festival and local filmmakers, including short story about me, my movie FOOD, and my picture.
- I finished and had first screening of my second short film "Dance"
- My 14 photographs were displayed at the "Pizza Research Institute" (voted the best pizza in town! even before I hang my photos there..)
- Eugene Film Festival 2006 that I helped to organize, is over. We are starting 2007 version.

Jan 2006: I am...
- ...settled in my new limited-space downtown living.
- ...writing a lot,
- ...on the board of Eugene Film Festival,
- ...in the middle of filming and editing my part of Oregon Screenwriters collaborative effort called 'Hotel Shorts'. This is a collection of 6 short stories, each written and directed independently, with one common thread - the story happens in the same hotel room. We used Valley River Inn who graciously donated the room to us for multiple weekend.

Aug 2005:
- My big house is sold. I had to do a lot of work to get it ready.
- In August I moved into a small condo Downtown.
- I am down to two cats, Yuri and Phillip (II). Allie, my beloved doxie, was put to sleep at the age of 14. Muffin went back to the previous owners and is happy there. Old cats, Ritz, Phillip (I), and Belmondo are also gone. All lived close to 20 years.

Second half of 2004 was devoted to making my first movie FOOD - I showed it for the first time in December 2004.
