In post production for an eternity, 2 June 2005

Also known as Birth of Babylon and/or Silent Madness, it's already a masterpiece, but director A. Monty Canawati's pathological attention to detail and unexpected financial delays have plagued this picture ever since late 2002. It is my sincere hope that someday this silent adventure into the absurd will see the light of day--in a theater--for all to enjoy. Enormous thanks to the entire cast and crew who worked tirelessly on this project for little or no pay. Special thanks to Monty Canawati for his guiding genius and willingness to take chances, even when the risk taking wasn't so popular. Return to Babylon was a learning experience of the highest order and a gift that opened up a whole new world; a world to which I will forever be attached.
