CHUD – Cinematic Happenings Under Development

Here’s a really cool film site:

Several years ago, I was trying to figure a way to put my useless film knowledge and extensive trips to the theater to good use, and after finding a few people who gave a damn I started an emailing list where I’d send reviews on a weekly basis.

The list grew pretty quick in my office (I worked in sales at a publishing company, which in turn lessened my life by 10 years or so due to stress), and soon I was looking for “the next step”.

Cinematic Happenings Under Development was born, and I had my buddy Ryan Murphy (cousin of CHUD Sci-Fighter Steve Murphy, and longtime friend) work on a design since I was baffled by html.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
