When I am not making movies I like to...Funny it seams like I'm always making movies! My favorite to make?... sci-fi, suspense and horror!I am currently Directing an Independent Feature called "Sudden Solitude". This is a story (based on real events) about 2 back country snowboarders who get trapped in an avalanche. The struggle for survival is complicated by one of them having a head injury and amnesia.The films website is www.suddensolitude.com where more info will be available soon.We just finished shooting the snow footage. 3 gruesome months of stunts and dialog in waste deep snow!What else have I done? I have worked on over a dozen feature films including "3:10 to Yuma" "The Eye" "Hamlet 2" "Buried Alive" "Year One" and the new "Terminator Salvation" to name a few, as well as a handfull of TV series.My favorite place to live?? I really liked living in Encinitas, two blocks from some killer surfing spots but the traffic and crowds got me down. I had a house on 7 acres in southern Oregon... Now that was cool. It was about half way between Medford and Crater Lake on HWY 62. Rogue River in my front yard, deer and many other animals roaming around the house. I had my production studio and a loaded sound studio 50 feet from my house - It was awesome!
