About Me

I'm a true Piscean - always thinking, always dreaming. I have a very vivid imagination, and I live inside it most the time. I love taking pictures, so check my albums often. Writing is my vice; it preserves my sanity. Filmmaking, my passion - something I feel I was born to do. My life's mission is to leave my mark on this world in some profound and positive way through film.
Kissing Frogs is a comedy about a woman on a mission to find Mr. Right. Don't be fooled, though - It's not a chick flick! Having been engrained with this unrealistic fairy tale mentality of true love, Cami finds herself approaching 30 single and ill-equipped to deal with the realities of the dating world.
Surrounded by a colorful array of crazy characters, Cami embarks on her quest for her prince. What ensues is a hilarious string of unfortunate events and dating mishaps that many of us who have kissed our own share of frogs can relate to!
Kissing Frogs is currently in production by Digital Media Services. I wrote it; I'm directing it; and I'm starring in it. Ambitious, yes! But I would have it no other way. Does that make me a bit masochistic?
There will be a private screening at the Manship Theatre when it's done, and also at several other locations that were used in the movie. Our main goals are to submit it to Cannes and/or Sundance.
Check out these T-shirt designs I made for Cami's wardrobe:
You can get your own T-shirt just like Cami wears in the film at the Kissing Frogs Shop.
My producers are the greatest! Check out the cool graphics on their business cards!

Bedroom scenes and 3-legged dogs

Monkey off my back

To my friends, I apologize that I've been out of touch lately. I've been completely SWAMPED with a certain project. I'm opening my own business, and I just finished my business plan yesterda...

New Website coming

Ever just have one of those nights?

Nights you would rather forget? Er - if only could remember, that is. Well, that's just the situation poor Cami finds herself in, in the three scenes we filmed this weekend. Without giv...

Cofee, conversation, and frogs

Filming was fun this weekend! We finished up scene 55, which is a phone conversation between Cami (me) and her best friend Sharon (Jenny Heroman). We actually filmed my half of the conversation months...

Patience is not my strongest virtue.

This weekend has been completely unproductive. I was only able to arrange two scenes, each only utilizing one actor besides myself; and though I confirmed with both actors the day of shootin...

Nice surprise!

No filming this week.

I should have known not to schedule anything on Mother's Day. It's so hard to shoot a movie only on Sundays. And it's so hard not to. *sigh* I hope all you mothers had a great Mother's Day! I did. &nb...

Well, it turns out we don't have many pictures from the last shoot. Here's one of David setting up. The location is Behind Closed Doors in Hammond, which we affectionately refer to as "the sex shop." ...
