I was in a movie!

Barney: Next they're gonna show my movie.

Bart: You made a movie ?

Barney: I made a movie? I wonder why there was a picture of me on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.

Earlier this year, a documentary film challenge was issued internationally. The goal was to make a movie about one of this year's two themes: hope or fear.

A group of Oregon filmmakers, The Cingulate System, called me up at work and asked if they could interview me for their film about Dark Matter. The challenge was to make a documentary, from scratch, in under a week. The film premiered April 8th right here in Portland. (You may noticed the very-infrequently-updated "events" portion of this page still reflects that.)

While it isn't quite the same as Barney's movie, it is short (under 8 minutes). It's also informative and pretty entertaining, and somehow I find myself with a ton of screen time! Who knew?! It's also one of the last recordings of me with hair. Have a look:

Hope you enjoyed it, and if so, go and check out the other movies made by the same crew!

Very cool, but can you talk if your hands are tied down? :)

WHY!?!? Why didn't I have physics professors as lucid as you during udergrad!?

Ethan, you are really handsome! Good move losing the hasidic-poodle thing that was going on atop your head, though. Very good move.

You should get your own show, you would probably be a very good host. A good talker, very smart with a tick of madness in it (in a good way :), maybe without the hair you would look more serious.. hmm doubt that on second thought
