THE NOTORIOUS K.A.N.T.Z.

I am here for Friends

About Me

Survivor of ghetto and suburban drama, wig splitta, back breaka, tibula cracka, Intense, Obsessive, Reclusive, perfectionist, sometimes shy, sometimes crazy! Filmmaker, writer, director and poet. Thug/gentlemen existing in the same body with harmony. Will use the phrase "nahwhati'msayin" in the same sentence as "rapscalion".
I love my friends and will f' ing obliterate my enemies. I have a low to NO tolerance for bull-shit, outspoken, (got big ass balls and to quote Willie D from the Ghetto Boys, I will LET EM HANG!) and will not sell out under any circumstances -- so much of a stand-up person that when I die they should bury me VERTICAL not horizontal. When you have my WORD -- YOU HAVE MY "SOUL."
Saying -- "Sleep is the cousin of Death."
I absolutely love CINEMA, I've been lucky enough, or tenacious enough, to have directed five films since I've been in LA-LA land. I started my own production company MODUS OPERANDI PICTURES with Edward Shen and George Morris, to do genre pictures. (Action/Horror/Sci-fi) We completed shooting our first feature PROJECT PURGATORY and we're in postproduction on our second film, (Sci-fi/Western) WASTELAND.
A NEW CLIP FROM WASTELAND KEO VS SCUTTER!
I formed a SECOND company STRUCTURE PICTURES to do more straight away-fare, we just finished Structure's first film FAST TRACK starring BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN, (The Sarah Conner Chronicles, Domino,Beverly Hills 91210) JEFFERY COMBS, (House on Haunted Hill, Enterprise, the Re-Animator) and SALLY KIRKLAND, (The Sting, The Getaway, The Valley of the Dolls and too many too name!) which is now in the post-production phase -- and yeah mang, we are mega-busyyyyyy!!
Next up on the Modus Operandi/Structure Film Works production slate is the HORROR/ACTION film DEAD ZERO! Which will quickly be followed by the martial art/fanatsy film"THE LEE SISTERS THE LEGEND OF XU" scheduled in the fall.

My Interests

I like to know why people do the shit that they do! I find it fascinating. WOMEN, I find them fascinating and will never understand the shit that they do, lol! MARTIAL ARTS but that goes withut saying...CINEMA, old flicks and new flicks, which goes without saying. I'm into COOKING but I don't cook for nobody but me, Morgan, Rae and Makaila lol....you gotta be special.

I'd like to meet:

I don't get a lot of spare time but when I do i crack a book, (brothas be treatin' books like kryptonite...knowledge i'm getting weakkkkkkkkk) The MisEducation of the Negro, WORDS OF WISDOM -- THE TEACHINGS OF CLARENCE BONNICKER, The Da Vinchi Code, Trace, The world is Flat, Freakonomics, Can't Stop, Won't Stop a History of the Hip Hop Generation, The Life and Death of The Notorious B.I.G., The Zombie Survival Hand book, (Just in case you never know) Black Folks invented a lot of shit and got no credit and The Indians were here first believe that....It's a real book self published by a freind" "

Heroes:


Since I'm African American with some Native American thrown in (Shawnee) and a couple of other tthings...this gets kinda tricky, I dig Muhammed Ali for straight trail blazing, Miles Davis, (as an artist miles did whatever the hell he wanted), Bruce lee another trail blazer that cats we'ren't ready for, Yip Man because Wing Chun as a fighting system is just tight, lol! Ben Ramsey for doing what he said he was gonna do! Preston Whitmore for being the hardest working man in Hollywood and an inspiration to work harder! Craig Ross for showing me that you can do it one step at a time! My son Jamyl for sticking to his guns and following his plan no matter how hard it may be! Red Cloud for kicking ass (his speech in 1866) and taking names, Little Crow, (gangsta), Malcom X for the same reason, Mike Tyson, Snake Plisken, Tony Jaa, Chang Cheh, (director of ass kickers) that red head kid in third grade that would kick everybody's ass, Jet Li (c'mon you should know by now!)...one could say i'm a bIg fan of ass kickers and powerful men who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and don't take anyone's ish.
