About Edge Numbers

Edge Numbers is written by Joseph Horn (that's me, nice to meet you). I'm a writer-director working out of Burbank, California (ooh, how original). I also, along with my wife Elizabeth, create and produce new media advertisments for other folks' nifty products and services.

Edge Numbers is my place to talk about things that I think are cool. From time to time that will be Tar Heel sports, the Tour de France (which, in America, is what we call the sport of cycling), whisk(e)y or beer. But most of the time I’ll be talking about what I am most interested in, and do for a living. Filmmaking. Tools, tips, flicks, the works.

I hope you'll find that we have similar likes and dislikes. When we disagree, I hope you'll remember that I'm just some asshole on the internet doing this for his own amusement, and will refrain from sending me angry email. Comments are turned off, not because I don't want to hear from you, but because I have all the penis pills I need. If you have something to share, please feel free to send it to contact [at] edgenumbers.com or follow me on Twitter @josephianhorn. If you want to be notified when Edge Numbers has been updated, you can subscribe to the RSS Feed, or follow @edgenumbersblog on Twitter.

About One-Line Reviews

by AuthorJoseph Horn

One recurring feature of Edge Numbers is going to be a series of one-line reviews of movies that I've seen and enjoyed, seen and hated, or just plain seen. Why only one line? Because, as a filmmaker, I'm constantly battling for storytelling efficiancy. Is this scene redundant? How does this subplot affect the overall story arc? Do I need this character? Fitting my thoughts about a film into one, carefully crafted line seems like a good writing exercise. And while Edge Numbers is largely about your enjoyment, it's also about bettering myself as a filmmaker.

Please also remember that, as with everything here on Edge Numbers, One-Line Reviews are my opinion. I'm not reporting them as fact, nor do I intend them to be taken as anything but one idiot's (likely wrongheaded) opinion. If you disagree, great! Write about it on your site, and send it to me. If I think you have a well thought out argument, I'll link to it (whether I agree or not).

I'm always looking for ways to see new work by my peers, and independent films can't ever get enough publicity. If you've got a new film on the festival circuit, or just coming out on DVD/Blu-ray, iTunes, Amazon, Netflix, etc. and would like to see a One-Line Review of it on Edge Numbers, just let me know how I can see it (I'm always happy to pay to rent a fellow independent's work) and I'll do my best to review it here and, of course, link to your website.
