About Me

I am an original Staten Islander who returned to his routes several years ago. I have a love / hate relationship with this place, but you know something, I would be the first and last person to defend it. It's our origin a person will always fight for that.I am quirky, wired differently and hopefully unforgettable.I was an actor (kinda debating about getting back in the game). Within my film work I got to call Ryan Phillipe a freak and tell Kenneth Branagh to shut up (I think thats a moral victory for all NY actors, ggggrrrr....;-) ).My greatest adventures started and continue program a pair of independent film series in New York City (Staten Island's FilmFest Reloaded & Manhattan's New Filmmakers Series).I am a fan of the independent pro wrestling scene, the shows that you don't see on TV. I am going to the Ring of Honor show on Feb 23rd in Manhattan (if you want to see me in complete rassin' geek mode, that's the night...)I love to go to gallery openings (Four words, Art and Free Booze)and dance around to techno.If you are a filmmaker and want to try for the dream, let me take a look. If you submit, leave me a note saying we spoke via My Space and give me a heads up that its coming. Check out, www. newfilmmakers. com.
