About
Welcome to my randomness.
This is a place where I collect the things that I <3. It's a mashup of tech, culture, music, films, games and anything else that catches my attention. My name is Lance Weiler. I enjoy telling stories across mediums and devices. I've written, built, directed, designed and run various film, tv, and gaming projects. I also write a regular column for Filmmaker Magazine about the impact of tech on entertainment entitled "Culture Hacker."
Why Text of Light?
The name is a reference to experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage. "Text of Light" (1974) is a wonderful film by Brakhage who during his forty year career made over 200 films of varying length.
