http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2012/01/post_13.html
I left Sundance on Thursday, and am still waiting to get home. Toby and I flew straight to Las Vegas to shoot one of those things we shoot to pay the bills for two days, which immediately put so much...David Lowery2012-01-29T01:47:54-06:00Hells Bells

Photo by James M. Johnston. I leave for the airport and Sundance in about four hours, and I'm still up trying to squeeze in as much work on this thing we shot last week as I can. It's a...David Lowery2012-01-12T23:51:35-06:00Lookbook 2

http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2012/01/january_firsts.html
I spent a few minutes perusing old annular writings and found this entry that I actually like quite a bit. I was telling someone recently that I almost I trust my writing enough to try my hand at writing fiction;...David Lowery2012-01-01T02:50:34-06:00The Ross Brothers on the River
http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2011/12/the_ross_bros_o.html
One of my sheerest pleasures these past two months has been the weekly installments of the Ross Brothers' series about their adventures on the Mississippi. Bill and Turner, who made the wonderful 45365, set out with their other brother Al...David Lowery2011-12-31T12:30:32-06:00Best of 2011
http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2011/12/best_of_2011.html
This year I celebrated ambition, regardless of whether it was directed inward or out, and so the films whose experiences, messy though they may be, remain affixed most firmly in my head should but one come as no surprise. In...David Lowery2011-12-31T02:11:38-06:00Lookbook 1

http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2011/12/when_a_delay_is.html
They say you won't get an agent in Hollywood until you don't need one, which when you're first starting off is a truism that is difficult to accept. By that same token, I sent one of my first scripts off...David Lowery2011-12-22T12:52:21-06:00Fortnight Journal, pt. 1
http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2011/12/fortnight_journ.html
I was invited not too long ago to contribute to the new issue of Fortnight Journal, a quarterly online compendium of millennial talent. There are all sorts of fascinating people featured here - beekeepers, cartographers, morticians - and I'm...David Lowery2011-12-12T23:29:20-06:00House Of Pleasures]]>
http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2011/12/house_of_pleasu.html
The above split-screen is probably my favorite frame from Bertrand Bonello's House Of Pleasures, formerly and more appropriately titled House Of Tolerance. It's an easy one to pick, although hard to call the best when a film is as...David Lowery2011-12-09T01:23:54-06:00Marathon
http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2011/12/marathon.html
One of the few later goals for which I've ever had an age-related time limit was to run a marathon before I turned 30. Given that I've had that same number of years to come to terms with my...David Lowery2011-12-05T19:40:31-06:00We Need To Talk About Kevin]]>
http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2011/11/we_need_to_talk.html
We Need To Talk About Kevin confounded my expectations from the very first shot. This is appropriate, as the first shot is a useful vantage point from which to consider Lynn Ramsay's intentions: a vast overhead tableau of a...David Lowery2011-11-30T19:58:57-06:00Tiger Tail In Blue trailer]]>

http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2011/11/no_show_tell_ma.html
I was talking to a friend the other day about Sean Durkin's Martha Marcy May Marlene and discussing whether its very methodical structure and faux-subjectivity was the correct approach to the particular story. The crux of our conversation pivoted...David Lowery2011-11-06T19:24:52-06:00Pioneer on Wholphin]]>
http://www.road-dog-productions.com/weblog/2011/11/pioneer_on_whol.html
This weekend, Pioneer is screening at AFI Fest in Los Angeles and the 24FPS Short Film Festival in Abilene, TX, which, as of this writing, concertly represent the end of our 2011 festival run. We've got a few already lined...David Lowery2011-11-04T00:44:54-06:00
