By admin, on January 2nd, 2011 Happy (Gregorian) New Year from Gods and Kings. Whatever I may have promised in the past, you can mark my words that 2011 is the year the film will be released. After all, we only have a year til 2012, when, thanks to an important modern myth, the eyes of the world will turn toward the Maya and their calendar. In the meantime, please enjoy this latest draft of the trailer, which incorporates a few newly translated interviews. The next thing I release will be the rough cut.
By admin, on November 23rd, 2010 Last week, a five minute version of our last documentary, Chocolate Country, won an award in the ViewChange Film Contest. A panel of celebrity judges gave the film a $5000 prize in the Empowerment category (some of which will go toward finishing Gods and Kings), and the piece is now featured on the excellent new ViewChange.org site, which links short films about global development with the resources to take action. You can take a look at the short here, and the other winners here

“The sight of the masked figure … carries us beyond ‘ordinary life’ into a world where something other than daylight reigns; it carries us back to the world of the savage, the child and the poet, which is the world of play.”

yesterday, I found this old Tarzan movie. it’s in the public domain, and the terrifying intro to Guatemala seems perfect for this film. of course, I’d probably cut out before the shots of rhinos and lions. there are indeed, many dangers in Guatemala, but rhinos and lions are not among them. also, Maya priests don’t usually sport long white Gandalf beards (unless of course they’re dancing in the disfraz).

This is a brand new scene, from footage I shot this summer. it’s not for the masses, but it’s available to anyone in the ‘inner circle’ – that is anyone who’s invested time or money in the project.

By admin, on October 26th, 2009 welcome to the new blog-equipped website for Gods and Kings. when you’re both editor and director, postproduction can start to feel a bit solipsistic. I updated this site because I wanted a platform to share ideas I’m wrestling with, and scenes I’m working on with the crew, the participants, fans, friends, strangers, whoever. anyone can log in and add to the discussion with replies and comments.
