One of the questions I get asked a lot is: "What does a producer do?". The answer is: "It depends."

September 8, 2015: I’m back! Dark Matter Set Tour II!
I left the house at 10:30 a.m. this morning and arrived at the airport just before 11:00 a.m. About a half an hour before departure, I picked up a take-out burger and a side of jalapeño poppers, met up with my writing partner, Paul, and patiently waited to board. If all went according to plan, we…

September 3, 2015: That finale…
"I think he is crazy, Joey. He makes people anxious!" My mother halfway through watching the Dark Matter season finale. Sorry, mom. My sis followed up with this text: "And I have no nails left." Would love to open this blog up to discussion about the finale, but I'm going to hold off until next week, after our…
September 2, 2015: Dark Matter deleted scene!
Our season 1 finale ran overlong and, as a result, we had to make some trims. One scene - a late addition dream sequence - didn't make the final cut. While not crucial to Episode 13, it does explore two of our pre-amnesiac crew members, and sheds light on the fate of Hrothgar and co. while…

Our official final main unit day was an event that involved the entire cast - in addition to some thirty extras.
