I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm an aspiring filmmaker from the place that happiness forgot; New Jersey. Anyway, I run a very small film company called Scumberland Productions, mostly cranking out things that no one should be forced to watch, let alone pay to see. The one thing I do have in spades is a great crew backing me up; My best friend from HS, several college friends and my family. Honestly a director couldn't ask for more and the fact that they don't complain when covered in body paint, damn near stark naked in the dead of winter is quite the bonus. As it stands now I'm mostly making shorts to amuse a core group of people and if something clicks, great. If not I still have the day job.
I never intended on having one of these dumb things but at the insistance of a couple people I went ahead and whipped one up, justifying it as need to promote the film gig and recruit people. Don't worry I won't be handing out sweatsuits or punch (mainly because it isn't in the budget yet).
Doubt I'll update this much. I plan on using it strictly for film networking. If you happen to be in the Jersey area and handy with a camera or uttering bad dialogue feel free to check SP out. We don't bite; much.
Scumberland Productions
Oh, and for those trolling for tail...move along, nothing to see here. I have a leading man in my life and with any luck I won't have to worry about being forced into negotiations any time soon.
What people have to say about me:
BadKidToo- (At birth) I stopped drinking earlier on in the pregnancy; earlier on the day I went into labor with her.
Diermuid- (During Highschool) I never thought she was a lesbian, I just assumed she was inactive below the neck.
Kcwitch- (in general) Straight and Monogamous, I thought they stopped making her model years ago.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A bunch of dead guys: Hunter S. Thompson, Alan Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Jerry Garcia, Jim Henson, Bob Marley, Chuck Norris (He's been dead for years but the grimreaper is afraid to tell him)
If I had my way I would love to direct 'Rum Diary' or 'On the Road'. Unfortunantly RD is slated for release sometime next year via Depp's production company and Coppola has recently secured the rights to OTR.
As for actors I'd work with (barring them being complete and total douchbags): John Tuturro, Jean Reno, Christopher Walken, Bruce Campbell, Benecio Del Toro, Lili Taylor, Toni Collette, Clancy Brown, Edward Norton
Below is footage I shot the night of October 18th:
