I got a chance to watch the new PBS documentary on the life and teachings of the Buddha and found myself truly moved. David Grubin did a fantastic job of capturing the voices, perspectives and the deep compassion inherent in the teachings of Buddhism. Richard Gere narrates this beautiful work.

Check it out if you get a chance.

This should be really fantastic. Hicks was a revolutionary comic, a biting social commentator and a complete iconoclast. Sadly, he died way too soon.

Anyone seen this movie? I knew it was coming out but I hadn’t had a chance to check it out yet. However, my friend and favorite musician Dan Wallace has two songs in the film – this alone is worth the rental. Dan blogs a bit more about this over at his excellent site.

A video that I recently directed for the new Trent Summar single “Really Never Loved Her Anyway” is out. Look for it on CMT, GAC, CMT Pure and on other country music sites and networks. I loved working with Trent and the video came out really great.

It was sort of a “fun with overhead projectors” kind of experience, which I thought was excellent.

The video was produced by Task Force Films and Executive Produced by Chris Rogers.
