MAKERS OF FILM~ C*C

THE FILMMAKER: EVERYONE HAS A STORY TO TELL

About Me

My name is Jason, I am a filmmaker whom is very focused on my career, I'm working on a Pilot Talk Show, Titled "SIDEKICK", which I'm directing and co-producing, which is aimed at an urban market. I am also preparing to shoot my first film, a featured length independent film called "Cut From The Cloth" which I co-wrote with one of my lead actors Mark, (thanks Mark, can't wait to start filming). I'm looking to shoot that in mid-late Oct '07 (depending on the end date for the talk show) and looking to get it into the film festivals in '09. Hope that my cast and crew will be ready... I also have 6 other feature length screenplays in various stages of development. I'm also in the process of developing my production company, in which first time producers, writer's, director's, writer/director's, actors and actresses can work together on different productions, from Films (ALL GENERS), Film Shorts, Documentaries, Music Videos (ALL GENERS). My hope is to get the company to a full services Entertainment Company... other than that I'm enjoy photography, writing screen plays, working out and hanging with friends when time permits. If anyone who wants to network concerning the entertainment industry feel free to contact me. Maybe we can work on upcoming projects.
