MY PERSONAL WEBSITE IS UP!!!

Hello friends. So I have been pretty busy finishing school, finishing my films, and getting ready for Cannes. The last three years feel like a blur - it's really crazy. Time flies... So next it's out into the world with my MFA in film directing from Cal Arts. What's next? Well I have been working on several story ideas- some are a little further along than others. I have been dabbling in several genres: Westerns, Thrillers, and Family Drama's. I have almost finished my online store where people can purchase and download my films for nominal fees. I wanted to say thank you to everyone for your continued love and support- I couldn't do it without all of you. Please go to my website and drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you.

Budgeting

2009-02-10T04:26:00.000-08:00

I have been budgeting a $2.2 million dollar feature - 43 pages long - I have never traveled so far down the rabbit hole- It's really an amazing way to see a film from the inside out... from the numbers side- the sunrise is just to give my blog more aesthetic value- ha ha.

it's official!

I am my fathers son. I am attempting to navigate this life without doing harm to others around me. I make films. I write screenplays. I enjoy caffeine. I used to be in the rock and roll business - then I grew up- or out- or filled in... whatever. I live in Los Angeles. I always knew I would live in Los Angeles at some point. I am here- now what- well finishing school at CAL ARTS for MFA in film directing. It's been fun, I am in my last year and feeling apprehensive about graduation. My thesis is a western with a woman hero- THE PROSPECTOR.
