My Interests

We are small group of artist/filmmakers currently in production. The film will be a collection of local’s life stories adding up to the lifestory of the state of New Jersey. My crew and I are traveling around the state, passing through as many towns and meeting as many people as we can.

I'd like to meet:

We're looking to fill the film with real people who represent the state and time in all its beauty and quirkiness. No one will be considered too absurd or too anything to possibly be included. Unique, outspoken characters are welcome and encouraged. Genuinely soulful and giving people are sought. Local heroes and heroines are hoped for. We’re looking for people who typify their place and time, but also folks who are parts of bygone eras, from the large and in charge to the nearly extinct and everything in between. If you or someone you know (or know of) suits our search we want to hear from you.

Music:

Ryan Bott

To Begin With

When I was a kid I used to sit on the floor in the hallway by the front door.  Every morning, before I was old enough to go out by myself, I'd sit there and watch my dad and brothers and sister g...

Mike Mercurio. When I first heard about Mike, that his house was powered off of a windmill, I thought I had discovered a truly quixotic character. Sure he wasn't chasing windmills. He was actually ...
