western, The Great Train Robbery in 1903. Today, modern technology has allowed westerns to become more thrilling, more daring, and more action packed than ever before, and none of this is more true than for Django Unchained(2012) directed by Quentin Tarantino and the TV show Firefly(2002), created by Joss Whedon.

As it looked like filming was getting closer, I connected with the director, Runar Bernsten, and he was gracious enough to answer a few questions for me about his work in the entertainment business as well as this upcoming feature (and a special announcement--so read to the end!). 12801244_10208132083156331_1615824649449872754_n.jpg RH: It was…

While police brutality, abuse of power, racial profiling and targeting the poor are arguments against the Broken Window Theory, they are not necessarily caused by it. The police have certain rules of engagement when dealing with suspects that they must follow, however, this is often mistaken for police brutality and abuse of power.
