My most successful film at VideoJug. Strange.
The Top 5 Laziest Inventions
Here's a video I did for OAEC. Got my whole doomer agenda in there...

I have a great girlfriend.
My family means the world to me, especially the little guys (nephews Mr. Max and Mr. Sam). The support my family has given me, has been more than I could ask for.
I study and produce films about energy depletion, for a living. I am lucky to have this opportunity to serve. My passion for conveying this most important of issues has lead me to be the person responsible for bringing the message to the entire world, for the leading think tank on the issue.
Don't you know me,
don't you know me by now.
TOUCH, A film I've written and will likely never be made, which I'm OK with, is described below. If you'd like to read the script itself, reach me and don't read the description... it's a journey film.
ICM Coverage of the script says, that "this could be a very special story that not only garners substantial box office draw but also potentially an Oscar or two."

TOUCH asks,
What happens to an American family in a world where people are quickly losing touch with each other -- literally?
Now, if you want to read the script already, don't read the next part. Just have me send it to you. If you need more info before deciding if it's worth your time, please continue.
TOUCH is an often-funny character drama in the vein of AMERICAN BEAUTY and CRASH in which nobody -- from the hundreds of people in the crowds to the main characters we follow -- ever makes physical contact. But a little boy changes all that.
TOUCH follows three inter-weaving stories:
> Allen, a 20-year-old, cocky and cynical college kid, has Aphephobia (fear of being touched) which he hides with his charm. But when he finds a deep connection with a magical, sensual flower child who can see right through his act, he battles to shatter his walls so he can finally touch the girl hes waited for his entire life, on the only night hell ever have a chance to.
> Deborah, a 46 year-old, career and image-obsessed lawyer who works for her late fathers Burrito Gordo fast-food franchise, finds out that her twenty-year climb up the corporate ladder will collapse over night, in a hostile takeover. Given only 12 hours to prove herself, she stays up all night working to prepare a secret file that will save her job, a journey that forces her to abandon her son, jeopardize her health, her reputation, her marriage and her family name.
> Boy, the angelic, quiet 6-year-old who gets lost in the shuffle, hits a low point when he misses his school dance recital, because everyone is just too busy to take him. Fed up, he sneaks out late that night, walks a mile to the train station, takes a train from the suburbs to the city, takes a cab to the city bus station and takes a bus across the country Just to dance for the one person who can show him the love and affection he needs. Along the way, he changes the lives of total strangers with the simple power of his tender touch.

About Me: I am passionate. I do everything I'm afraid to do. I'm the one people come to. I drive a Mercedes that runs on oil used to make your tortilla chips.
