"Connection" is my first feature film in over 10 years. Who am I? Click HERE to get details.
"Connection" is the feature film companion to my award-winning short film "Transaction". It is a different story and circumstance, but very similar approach and aesthetic. "Connection" follows the mood-drenched, but sometimes subtly comic, journey of a couple during their first experience at a swinger's party. The film will use a direct, honest story-telling style that creates a "fly on the wall" experience. However, key subjective moments in the film take us a step deeper inside this dynamic.
Would LOVE your support in making it happen. TODAY! Yes, TODAY!
If you are seeing this site, then you are already witnessing my SINGLE DAY fundraising campaign. It is an old school Jerry Lewis-style telethon here on the web. To see it, please click HERE, now!
Why a single day? Because there's no point in hassling you for support for weeks on end. Let's just have some fun and get on with it.
I started broadcasting from midnight of Wednesday the 29th and will be on air continuously until midnight of Thurday, the 30th.
I'll mostly be talking and having various people come on to chat, but will also be having various performers on the LIVE guest channel throughout the 24 hour period.
Please tune in. Better yet, would love for you to call, Skype, FB message or text and send some encouragement. Or ask questions of me or any of our guests.

And facebook is, well, facebook.
If you tune in, now, you will see me doing god-knows-what at this hour. But I will be broadcasting for the next 24 hours. And I need your support.

And I hope you'll spread the word. Tell 10 good friends that you think would genuinely be interested in supporting, who care about movies, or, at least, independent creativity, and the campaign will spread like a wildfire. Tell them they can tune into my webcast and enjoy the show.
Beyond all that, would love as much support as you are comfortable with, of course. Let's hit our goal and turn this unique fundraising process into a real success story.
Thanks so much for your support, however it shapes up.
Best,
J.
