you should know this great man.

Gunpei Yokoi (横井 軍平 Yokoi Gunpei^?, September 10, 1941 – October 4, 1997), sometimes spelled Gumpei Yokoi, was aJapanese video game designer. He was a long-time Nintendo employee, creator of the Game Boy and Game & Watch handheld systems, inventor of the modern day D-pad or 'cross' pad (a design that nearly all video game controllers use today), and producer of several long-running and critically acclaimed video game franchises.

He's no longer with us unfortunately but his thoughtful creations and ingenuity have left a great mark on this world.  I only recently learned about him and his achievements.  Very interesting man that I'm grateful to know more about now :)

Now for a tiny update:  I am still at work on a big budget production (August: Osage County) in Bartlesville, OK awhile longer but I'm always thinking and working towards bringing more creations from Sebastian's world to life... another short film is in the works so stay tuned and Reach for the Stars!!

Waiting For Player private screening and SPtC updates

Hi all!!  Been a bit... just a quick update:

"Waiting For Player" has gone through a few more polishing tweaks to get the Blu-Ray achievement for an upcoming private screening in Tulsa.  It is with two other locally made films including, "Unknown State" by our strong collaborator and great friend, Chris Long who has made the whole screening possible.  We are really looking forward to sharing it with so many people we love!

Things have slowed due to some opportunities to work on other larger projects till December but "Sebastian Plays the Chords" is still grinding along!  I'm always thinking about it and David Burkhart (Sebastian) and I talk about it constantly.  To keep a pulse on how some things are going check out the official twitter and tumblr.  Check 'em out!!  Now that I have finally succumbed to instagram (@SebastianMovie) I've been enabled to "share" a bit more too...  ;-]

Lastly, look out for "Waiting For Player" to be online in full sooner than later...  Reach for the Stars friends, sean

we're short on free time lately but Ted and I did enjoy sharing a few indie games with friends last night :)

how about some likes?  we would sure like it :)
