About Me

This page is dedicated to German Expressionism and "Reel-illusionary Zone" Those on the top friends are mostly cast and crew of that film.
As a visual artist, I can hardly imagine anything more striking than what expressionist filmakers painted on the screen of old: The exagerated facial expressions; extreme camera angles; extreme light-dark contrast; surealistic set design, etc. Thematically, expressionistic films usually offered solutions, which I find to be more karmically responsible than many new age films. My interest is to keep the flame of that movement burning (insofar as one filmmaker is able) by paying homage to it's artistic genius. Many of my films are largely based on expressionism, but none are totally faithful to the movement, because I add modern components to my films. Plus, I endeavor to inspire by leaving the audience with a bright light at the end of an odd and dark tunnel. Conversely, most expressionistic films were more politically motivated in lieu of inspiration...BUTT I still try to match the powerful visuals of my all time favorite art form! yaaay!

My Interests
