What about Bob?

I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a pre-frontal lobotomy

About Me

I'm an upbeat person who's still pursuing screenwriting and filmmaking, while working film festivals (Sundance & Tribeca & Hamptons & Gen Art & Nantucket) and casting actors now and then for indie films.My first short film that I wrote and directed is hitting film festivals, and is a finalist in the Delta Airlines short-film competition. It's called 'TIS THE SEASON.Watch it here:..
