It was a snowy February night as I sat up in my bed staring at pictures of Mary-Kate and Ashley, dreaming of sunnier days.

“Ok man, I’ve got it. We call the movie Signatures. The seasons, the individual, the snowsurf style, the turn — they’re all connected.”

Ben handed me a napkin with a treasure map to the hidden temple of McDonald’s and a couple notes he’d scratched on our film-to-be. Hit with divine inspiration, he had penned the plan at the helm of our latest epic Japanese road trip…

    Awesome Nick. Really looking forward to seeing it. Hand Cut was fantastic. Packed more entertainment and artistic value than many movies that are twice as long.

Got something to say?
