I realized this page has been mostly Toastmasters posts the past year (which I'm ok with especially since the IDTT TM page inexplicably disappeared recently, f'n fb), so I'll get back to what this page is supposed to be with an oldie, a classic Cinevegas selection, O.C.D.:

What a difference a year makes! First picture taken last week for our (sorry Marc, better position next time but at least you're in this one!), second taken just over a year ago (no, not all members were present, not in this one either actually, but our club has nearly doubled in the year since, striding back towards pre-pandemic numbers!)... and finally featuring she for whom the club would not be possible, our glorious who somehow always puts up with our bs, and handles it like a true master, !!

Since I (Jason Nellis) dropped the ball last night and left the agendas behind in my rush to the meeting, and I was very proud of it (albeit simpler format than usual but more work put in to try to make it elegant), I'm putting it here. I was late and apologize(d) for throwing the organization off but this was the greatest tragedy in my eyes.

The 3rd documentary made in my "Doc 2" class in 2006, about dissent and ideas for social change... oh how simple times were then, when the protests were against war and the relatively young big brother. My description then: Such topics as the new don't-feed-the-homeless law, secret societies, our future, voting fraud, and picking cotton.

Featuring my grandma Phyllis Colson (1917-2016), Jim Stone, L-Macc, Bob, Matt "Madness" Maldonado, Scott X, and others.

RIP John Frederick Alden, 1955-2012. This funny weatherman who brought thousands joy and became locally famous was a tragic figure. He was my role model, and as clear in this video, he LOVED his dog more than anything, and after Jordan died, it was a sad struggle for John to cope. A couple years after I shot this (I was so honored that he granted me this access/interview, as I told him how big of a fan I was and aspiring meteorologist- of course he's also a production pro), he was fired after a controversy and moved to Missouri where he went homeless, and started succumbing to his family curse, but then bounced back when he returned to Vegas in 2011, only to die in 2012. I was again honored when the news producer asked to show this documentary at John's funeral service. What an arc of passion and tragedy this man went through. Of course his memorial stands amongst my family members who have also passed and those I've been closest to.

(Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)
Continuing with my portfolio, this is the short documentary that got shown at the 2006 Cinevegas Film Festival (run by Dennis Hopper, where I hobnobbed with the most actors/directors I've ever met). Started out as a class exercise to capture the themes of school on a Saturday, and turned into this 50/50 tongue-in-cheek and "real" thingy, that also led to me being requested to teach a class in Abnormal Psychology.

Featuring John Marsh, Tony Quirk, James Guiry, Halley Clark, Mike Hendrick, and Ed Worfolk.

Of course, as with most sequels, this one was a lame rip-off of the first. As with all sequels it tried too hard while at the same time being too careless. The worst part though is that it didn't even p**s off any cults. :'(

But it's still "entertainment". And hey all your favorite alien and Earth fiends are back, including ! And of course and the holy

Well this one's been here for a while, I'll just repost. Continuing with my early YouTube videos, this was another random slideshow-ish "Welcome" video amped up with narration and zooms!! And edited on Final Cut Pro, rather than iMovie...
In an unexpected twist, having made this as a joke based on drawings I ran across online about names I'd never heard of (other than ), a year later this was listed on an website and posted as "government disinformation", commented on as such, and jumped up about 6,000 views. I defended it as a joke and the commenter eventually admitted they did find it funny, and I prayed that would forgive me. Hope and Jesus and all the earth friends and their are cool with me too. This basically became my legacy and the peak of my career.

Since then I've gotten to know many people who know about Ashtar, and I've learned what the is all about. Haven't we all?

I decided to start uploading my classic decade+ old videos to my page, to get me back in the habit of posting original content (leading up to actual new videos!) so I will start with my first ever YouTube video, more of a weirdo experimental slideshow created along with content input, inspiration and computer of Jim Stone, my first videography collaborator...

Noticed an ant carrying a dead ant around the bottom of Dom and Christa's tribute photo and leaves it in the bottom of their frame... seemed bizarrely poignant

Found out my old friend/classmate/great filmmaker Dom and his wife were the couple killed in the crash caused by a drunk driver going 100mph a block from my place that I kept hearing about last month, had no idea it was *this* close to home... Nicest filmmaker ever

This DUDE just walked up to me in the dark sounding like sprinklers or an animal walking on the grass, on my first night at #Ferguson ..eh I won't get into much detail of where this is exactly because I don't want to give bad publicity on my first night of work but well it was just passing through after all but HOLY CRAP, I've heard of these, and guess they could be bigger... #giantbeetle or #giantinsect of some kind #loudscurrying #neverscared (the bug ain't)
