The LonelyReviewer Show – Episode 1: “A New Hope”

The LonelyReviewer Show – Episode 1: “A New Hope”

lr-Podcast-ArtworkThe LonelyReviewer Show was last seen in 2008 as a Videocast via Youtube/Ustream, so it gives me great joy to say it has finally returned! Rather than going the video route, Justin and I have decided that for this outing, audio is the way to go – giving you all something to listen to during your commute.

Produced in conjunction with Justin’s blog Another Empty Glass, The LonelyReviewer Show is going to be a monthly program  (for now…) where we meet, try a new beer, and talk about movies!

We’ve titled this Episode “A New Hope,” and we discuss stand out movies from 2012, and what we’ve got queued up to check out. I sincerely hope you enjoy the program! Subscribe to the Podcast in iTunes, or download the podcast manually here, OR listen to it with the handy player below. We’d love to hear what you think, so please leave some comments!

Short Film: A Look Through Our Eyes

Short Film: A Look Through Our Eyes

Many years ago, I made a film that looked at the effects of the Armenian Genocide, on “third-generation survivors.” Young folks whose ancestors had been the victim of a genocide carried out by the Ottoman Empire, an effort to systematically remove an entire group of people from Ottoman Turkey.

Lonelyreviewer.com is obviously not a political site, however, with April 24th being Armenian Genocide remembrance day, I can’t think of a better day to post my short film for the readers to check out. Feel free to read more about the film over at vatchearabian.com.

So, of course, besides running Lonely Reviewer.com, I’m also a filmmaker in my own right. And I recently participated in an fake trailer contest here in Boston, at the Brattle Theatre. The subject was “Labor Day,” and I created this fake trailer with a vague story and a lot of visual effects. Our video won the competition!

The sound was cut by Gregg Swiatlowski, and the voice over artist in the end is Jim Jakala, who does many amazing great television and radio commercial spots. It also stars other LR bloggers, Brandin, Ben, and Phil!

Thank you everyone for your help, and enjoy the trailer!
