I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a cinematographer and shoot independent feature films. I got my start by shooting local bands in Cleveland OH back in '88 or '89.

My internet movie database listing: Jessica's listing .

And here is my demo reel:

When I'm not working on any projects, I'll listen to music, spend time with friends, go to concerts, clubs, movies, horror conventions, etc. I'm kind of shy, but if you run into me, feel free to say "hi" and introduce yourself.

I also recently finished a self-produced documentary on the 2006 Drop Dead festival. You can view it here:

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Ian Curtis. And Orson Welles. But I'm not in any hurry to meet either one of them. As far as people who aren't dead yet, I'd like to meet people who like the same kind of music and movies as I do, if for no other reason than we'd have something to talk about when we hit those awkward moments in the conversation when neither one of us can think of anything to say.

If you're a band, please note that unless you fall into one of the genres I listen to (punk, deathrock, goth, post-punk, horror punk, psychobilly, art-punk, new wave, etc.) I probably won't add you to my friends list. I have nothing against other genres, but since I don't listen to them, I think it's kind of silly to include bands from those genres on my friends list.
