Some progress … and some lack thereof…
My partner and I have been trying to move forward on our documentary on women leaders in the US Army Military Police. We’ve drafted a budget, a plan, a research approach, some crowdfunding strategies, etc. However, one thing I didn’t realize was how much the current plan relied on gaining access to women who are…

Weekend rundown…
Yesterday was kind of exciting. In addition to it being Cold Run release day, it was also my mom’s birthday. She and my nephew Mikey are down for a week to celebrate, so even though the morning was a “hard rain,” as Mikey put it, we still made it out to the Farmer’s Market for…

Cold Run is live!!
Three years ago I sat down with a character who had surfaced during one of my writing exercise sessions. A grumpy, disgruntled werewolf, Rick Keller showed up in my notes the night that the organization he used to work for came to get him. Throughout the next year or so, this short excerpt stayed on…

Introducing “Zeus is Dead,” launching today!
When Zeus is away… Michael G. Munz’ book, Zeus is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure, opens with a simple premise.

Taking Command: A Documentary Film
I first pitched this project accidentally while sitting on a bus filled with 2014 GI Film Festival filmmakers. Striking up a conversation with Catherine Campbell, producer of the documentary film Oro Macht Frei, I found myself talking about my experience in the US Army Military Police Corps, and my desire to highlight the amazing women…

#TANSTAAFL vs. the #facebookexperiment

After all, everyone needs to make money, if you’re not the customer, you’re the product, what do you…

Review of “Chosin: To the Sea”
Of all the presentations at the 2014 GI Film Festival Filmmaker Bootcamp, I most enjoyed Brian Iglesias. A Marine (currently serving in the Reserves) and filmmaker, Iglesias directed the documentary film, “Chosin,” and is currently expanding the universe of the project through The Chosin Project. (For those interested in more background, check out my profile…

A Midsummer’s Night’s Play…
The past month has been a little crazy, what with edits for Cold Run — release date of August 2!!, demands of the day job, fostering a 14-year-old Basset hound, and writing a series of articles for the military interest Web site Task & Purpose. I saw that another performance by the Sweet Tea Shakespeare Company,…

On hashtags and selfies…
For the past several weeks, I’ve been observing various posts, lamentations, exhortations, satire, and straight up middle-school fun-making, in regards to the hashtag #bringbackourgirls. And because I can’t resist playing Devil’s advocate, I wanted to try to think about this from a different angle. One of the objections to the campaign is, first, that it…
