Hi all, I’m back and I want to introduce you to my new feature project — Nomad Trilogy Films. It’s about houselessness in America. Follow the trials and triumphs of this project from this account @nomad_trilogy, and on Instagram and Facebook all under the same name. Thanks, Rob
Old and young, we’re still runners and gunners around here says Rob. Regardless of age you’ll be interested in the @nomadtrilogyfilms and what’s coming! Stay ready. #independentfilm #nomadtrilogy #advocacy #homelessness #houselessness
Mom always said if you’re good, someone else will say so. Here’s us, old and young, trying our hands yet again at something good. Thank you all for tuning in. #indiefilm #production #BehindTheScenes #nomadtrilogy #director #cinematographer #passingthetorch #setlife
Work on #NomadTrilogy continues as always but this past week we got out from the dark of the editing room and onto the road, as we shot a scene for the second film CENTER DIVIDE. Will, Sam, both Dante’s and myself crammed in car making magic. See some of the action below, thanks.
We got back to filming this week and oh did it feel good! This scene has characters Taylor, Wes, and Geoff on their way to Reno. Can’t wait to share more footage with y’all. #behindthescenes #indiefilm #cinematography #nomadtrilogy #production #actors #filming #verite #SetLife
In the car actively shooting for CENTER DIVIDE, the second of the #NomadTrilogy. Good to be on the road, good to be back filming. #cinematographer #indiefilmmaking

Had a productive weekend of painting and editing. Now the sun comes out, I suppose to alert me that enough work has been done so that now I can go enjoy the day. Hope you all can as well.
Will be working tomorrow with my production assistant Dante Hay to make a short trailer for #NomadTrilogyFilms. Will be using the day as a mini workshop in production and finding the inner voice. Am looking forward to sharing the trailer afterwards with you all. #indiefilm

We got ourselves some new Zoom mics and lavs for filming moving forward. Now we’ve just got to arrange a shooting schedule for “Center Divide,” the second in the #NomadTrilogy, then we’re off to the races. #indiefilm #equipment #BehindTheScenes
Long considered you a universe warrior. Like Hemingway, not concerned with taking a nice social stance but rather interested into digging into something deeper. As filmmakers we don’t want niceness we want something raw, something true. I can appreciate the frustration.

One of the all time British films! The way everyone says Harry Lime, classic!
Selznick took a relatively hands-off approach for THE THIRD MAN, though he still fought for his casting choices (he wanted Robert Mitchum instead of Orson Welles), and shaved 11 minutes off the US release. Carol Reed’s masterpiece screens 2/10 & 2/12: ow.ly/R8Uu30nwVs0
Reminiscing today about this film, @BruceDern. Remembering how while shooting Mt. Tam I made a silly mistake and shot after the fog cleared, it’s much less a mountain and a spectacle in the sun!
Really enjoyed this, haunting.

Steve Fowler and I went to high school together, he introduced me to some of the jazz greats. Last night he introduced me at Occidental Center for the Arts for a screening of “Prairie Trilogy.” One of the best stops on the tour, just great response and discussion afterwards.

Thankful to Monica for throwing down with us then. Good to share circles with your family. It’s a gift to work with so many tremendous people.

Spoke with Mark Fishkin yesterday about a number of things including the film @LifeandNothing. It is one of the more important movies I’ve seen in years in America. It’s not bullshit. It’s a hardball movie and a terrific film about a young single mother and her son in Florida.
Meeting with Mark Fishkin of @MVFilmFest and @cafilminstitute today to talk about life, my new #NomadTrilogyFilms project, and our work together for over forty years. Excited to hear what’s going on for him. Now if only the car would start.
