In the past week or so, I have been lurking around trying to figure out how to get my MySpace profile up and running. It's finally up. Then the next question begs what's next?
Well, for now I will use MySpace as a way of communicatingwith my long missed friends that I left behind when I moved to Denmark from my beloved NYC.
But I also hope to use MySpace to network with other Film Makers in Denmark, Scandinavia and the rest of the world.I will be blogging pretty often so check back soon or even better subscribe to my blogs where I will write about what is going on in my life, thoughts on events, politics, films, restaurants and other things.Also I am also interested in meeting creative film/TV people to collaborate with to gain more experience in Denmark. So feel free to contact me if you need help on some of your film/TV project.
You can download my film/TV resume download here (sorry only available in Danish, drop me an email for an English version.
I lived in New York for 5 years. It was 5 important years of my life. I met some awesome friends whom I miss so very much each day. But it was also the chapter in my life where I got into film making. And I have been dealing with the bug ever since. Plus it is even contagious. But I also missed my family and friends in Denmark.
So right now, I am trying to live out my dream here in Copenhagen. Since I moved back from NYC I have been dealing with a lot of practical things, but have also had some time working on some interesting film and TV projects.Thomas Yong on Wikipedia
