A guy trying to make it in the movie business

About Me

Hey everybody, my name's Todd and i'm a 24 yr. old Green Valley resident currently. Graduated from ASU back in 2005; I currently work as the Chief Administrator for the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival. In addition, I work as Administrator for ITN Distribution and review films for Acquisitions as well. To top it all off, i'm the Chief Administrator as well as Online Editor and Critic for IFQ Magazine, where I review new and current films (DVD and theatrical releases), collect advertisements, etc. Recently interviewed cult director John Waters for our magazine, which was interesting and fun and just finished a piece with director Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven, Velvet Goldmine, I'm Not There) which was a lot of fun. Other filmmakers I've been lucky enough to speak with include Charles Burnett (Killer of Sheep, To Sleep With Anger) and experimental director Nina Menkes (Phantom Love, The Blood Child, and a wonderful person).What's funny is that this is actually the truth, yet in this town whenever I mention it to people they just say "yeah right". As for the pics I have posted, those were taken at a past AVN Convention which I got to attend using my press badge from the magazine. And no, I don't think i'm any more cool or a pimp because of it or any of that kind of bullshit, those were just the most recent pics I had lol. I'm here just to meet some new people, maybe make some new friends or something more serious, and just see what happens here. If you have any questions or want to say something, feel free to drop me a message. Take it easy...

My Interests




Movies (foreign and domestic), books, theater, the arts, going to good concerts, going out with friends, chilling at home, and other things that i'm not putting up on this website

I'd like to meet:

Fun, single, interesting people who know a little something about the arts but that's hardly a prerequisite so don't worry lol. As long as you can hold a decent conversation and like to have fun, that's pretty much all I need. I take the rest as it comes...!..
