ABOUT THE FILM
I had a great time creating this fun film with my daughter. We had to shoot in two days. We shot all the scenes without her in ghost makeup on one day and then her in costume the second day. While we did the cemetery scene, it started to drizzle, so we only had three takes for that scene. The entire film was shot at our home. Most of the props were purchased from the dollar store nearby. Because my daughter had lost several teeth over the summer, she had fun making a scary face with her missing teeth. This was a fun mommy-daughter film project. :)

I hope you enjoy!

Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 1

Feel like writing an opera is only for big name composers with big budgets? Or are you willing to take the plunge and create a work in one of the most compelling and cutting edge musical forms...an opera? Almost two years ago I embarked on the largest musical production I have created to date - Libertaria: The Virtual Opera. After writing the award-winning Creation Oratorio and dozens of multimedia works, I wanted to combine my love of the audio and the visual into a single large scale work. Find a Great Dramatic Story You need a strong story to write a compelling opera. Fortunately you can easily borrow from thousands of public domain works and modernize them. Think of West Side Story (just a contemporary version of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet) .
