2011 Wrap-Up

Vatche — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 02:48:46 +0000

So. 2011. How’d it go? I’d say I had a very successful year.

In 2011, I produced quite a bit of new work. Ranging from some shorts (‘I’m Sorry I Killed You,’ and ‘Friends I Haven’t Met‘), fun trailers and web videos (Labor Day 2 and Boy Shooting Nerf Gun), and Lonely Reviewer’s increased coverage of IFFBoston, it was a busy year!

So, what’s on tap for 2012?

I’m always looking to produce new projects, and collaborate with friends/colleagues on theirs. I’ve already got some things coming down the pipeline!

I hope to produce a few more shorts this year, and hopefully some that coincide with the themes I’m exploring in the projects I’ve done this past year. Shooting on DSLR is making these projects so much easier to produce, and increases production value 10 fold. With the addition of my own portable sound recorder to my kit in late 2011, things are only going to get better from here.

I appreciate you guys for checking out my blog, and my site! Happy New Year!

IFFBoston 2011 Coverage

Vatche — Mon, 02 May 2011 15:34:33 +0000

IFFBoston 2011 kicked off last week, and this year I’ve amped up my coverage for Lonelyreviewer.com. We’ve shot this years festival quite extensively, and I’m going to be cutting the Q&As for release online. Here are two videos I cut. The first is the Q&A that followed the screening of BEING ELMO: A PUPPETEER’S JOURNEY. The second, an interview with the filmmakers behind ICE HOCKEY, a short that screened at the festival. IFFBoston is an amazing film festival, and I am honored to have been allowed the opportunity to work with them.

Forums Added to LonelyReviewer.com

One of the things I’ve always wanted to implement on Lonelyreviewer.com is a special place for our readers to come chat about the movies we review, movies they see, etc. So, I’ve finally added a forum section to lonelyreviewer.com.

My hope is to eventually build a community for our readers to come talk about whatever they’d like to talk about, whether its related to the content on our site, or even general topics. A forum is what definitely what was missing I hope it’ll be a good home for some good conversations and debates.

My Resolutions for 2010

Vatche — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:41:39 +0000

So, I’ve been thinking about one thing I never ever do, I never make resolutions. So I decided, maybe putting them out on a public forum such as my personal website, it might make me adhere to them.

In no particular order:

Create minimum 1-2 pieces of original content a month (Video)

It’s been quite a while since I’ve done Hello Simon/Hello the Podcast, and almost a year since the Lonely Reviewer Show & Road Trip for Obama. It’s about time for me to produce one of these many ideas that I’ve been bouncing around in my head. I’ve been posting more frequently to my Youtube page already, so we’re off to a good start, but MORE is coming.

Write

The source of this original content? Of course, my writing. I’ve been lackadaisical as of late, so I want to write for 30-60 minutes at least 5 times a week. If 90% of it never sees fruition, that is fine, at least I’ll have a nice back catalog to turn to in the future.

Produce a New Web Show

I’ve posted in the past about a new show I’m developing and I finally think I’ve got the technical kinks worked out of it. I won’t divulge any details other then I’m currently working on a final visual effects test that will be the final step in pursuing this new show. I’m excited about it, and you should be too.

Some of my other non-project related resolutions include, the obligatory exercise more, and continue to read minimum one book a month.

So there we have it, these are my resolutions for 2010, if you notice me slacking, feel free to call me out on it on here, or on Twitter!

Lonely Reviewer: Relaunched

Vatche — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:31:48 +0000

This January marks the 2-year anniversary of my film blog Lonely Reviewer, and in recognition of that, I’ve finally launched the blogs new format. We’re moving away from the magazine style template of old, and into a template that focuses more on our featured content then the news articles. Though, we will continue to do both!

I’m really happy with the way it looks, and I think this relaunch is a real step forward for the site. A new thing we will be experimenting with in 2010 is introducing video reviews to the site. Not quite the Lonely Reviewer Live show I did over a year ago with Justin, but something a little bit different then what I’ve tried in the past. Look for that in the next few weeks.

IFFBoston 2009 Coverage

Vatche — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 04:34:09 +0000

For the second year in a row, I’ll be covering the Independent Film Festival of Boston for Lonelyreviewer.com. Lonelyreviewer.com is a web blog that covers various film, television, and other forms of entertainment, with the primary focus being cinema. The festival runs next week from April 22nd to April 28th. Check out Lonelyreviewer.com for full coverage, and buy tickets for the festival at iffboston.org

Facebook Ads

Vatche — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:40:47 +0000

So, I bought some Facebook ads for lonelyreviewer.com, who knows how this will go over, but so far, we’ve had 4,550 impressions, not ONE click, I’m glad I’m paying per click….I woulda peaked by now its not even the work day yet.

Let me know if you see one!
