About Me

FILMMAKER PROFILE: I am an aspiring director/screenwriter.I work for Gartner Productions. I've written over 15 feature scripts and have 7 more in development, shot numerous award-winning shorts and 2 no-budget features (shot one in high-school and the other in college). I have 5 out of the 15 scripts ready for investors, first-money, and have "letters of intent" from (2) distribution houses for all these films. This year, my WW2 short "Sudilkov" made past the 1st round on the Fox Reality Show "On the Lot" and it was an honor to have Spielberg personally request and watch my short film! I'm here ONLY on myspace for networking with filmmakers and investors.
