About Me


Create a Myspace LED Scroller
Worked professionally with Betty Thomas (John Tucker Must Die, Can't Hardly Wait), Douglas McGrath (Infamous, Bullets Over Broadway) and Lucy Walker (The Devil's Playground).

Killer Films in NYC was a terrific training ground. They worked me to the bone and I came back for seconds! There's no doubt that was the best place to learn what it takes to make a good film on a low budget.

I try to carry that over in any project I'm a part of. On my Fall 2006 directorial endeavor, OFFICE BEAST, I got an amazing compliment from the Script Supervisor -- "I think of you like the Wolf from Pulp Fiction. 'If I am curt with you, it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast." He found my favorite character in the film!

Over the summer, I directed Vanessa Rising and Living Under Linda's Desk. You can check out the stellar Vanessa Rising Preview cut by masterful DP/Editor Joe Feng here! See above.
And hey, check out my current award winning novel, PRIZEFIGHTER EN MI CASA if you get a chance! My second book, FEELS LIKE HOME released APRIL 10th to rave reviews!

As always, rock the word!e.
