My friend Nick and I spent Halloween in the home of a man who goes all out for Halloween, making his own monsters every year to scared the living daylights out of trick-or-treaters and passing out buckets of candy to kids who make it to the front door. Our short documentary, “Leo’s House of the Dead,” will be playing at the Indie Incubator Film Festival on May 28. Join us, if you dare.

I headed out to the NATO rally on Sunday a buddy of mine who is a filmmaker. After he had been threatened to have his camera smashed while he was out on Saturday, along with reading what other photographers had found on anarchist sites about best ways to cut camera straps and instructions on which door on the camera houses memory cards, we figured it would be a good idea to head out together. Nothing really came of those threats and once things really got going on Sunday it was every man for himself. But here’s a short video he put together from two days on the street. Some of these scenes might look familiar from stills I’ve already posted.

On July 2nd, 2009, four thousand US Marines of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade launched a major helicopter assault into a Taliban stronghold in the Helmand River Valley in southern Afghanistan in order to break a military stalemate with the insurgent group.
Independent filmmaker Danfung Dennis was embedded with Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Company, as they were dropped 18 km behind enemy lines to seize a key bridge. Within a few hours of landing, fierce fighting erupted and continued for the next three days, during which Lance Corporal Charles Sharp, from Adairsville, Georgia was shot and killed by a Taliban fighter.
After the initial fighting, the Marines searched for the insurgents who had killed Lance Corporal Sharp. Frustration set in as the Marines tried to fight the elusive enemy whose IED’s cut off their supply lines. The Marines’ objective was to secure and protect the population, but the Afghan villagers complained that the fighting has driven them into the desert, and the bombing destroyed their homes. Can the Marines balance their contradictory roles as warriors and statesmen, as they struggle to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people?This looks like it is going to be one of the best-shot war docs to come out of Iraq and Afghanistan. And it was only one man with a shooting with a DSLR.

In the High-Definition documentary Beyond The Peloton, film makers Joe Finkleman and Booker Sim follow the creation and first racing season of the Cervélo TestTeam. With their all-access passes, they will show you what race footage fails to capture, everything “beyond the peloton.”
I guess I know what I’m doing tonight

“Fish Out of Water” trailer.
Looks like an interesting documentary. But if you get rid of religion and the Bible, the battle about the morality/immorality of homosexuality becomes a moot point.
