About Me

I spent many years as a professional in the entertainment industry. I left the corporate rat race to become a freelance journalist covering independent film. I spend most of my time traveling to festivals to see indies and meet the actors, directors, and others responsible for creating them.I report from the events, write reviews, and post pictures on several sites including my blog, IMDb, and many other film-related sites. But mainly I'm a fan, it's all from the heart, and I can't be bought because I don't get paid.Please visit my FILM BLOG ============================

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Creative people who love independent films. They make the best friends and conversationalists. They've always got your back and I've always got theirs. The people I've met are the greatest people on the planet and I'd like to meet more like them.======================================================= ===NOTE: I move my Top Friends around. They don't necessarily reflect the importance of those pictured in the order they are arranged, so please don't take offense or read too much into it!
